About
I have over 15 years experience as a General Practice attorney offering representation in Family, Civil, Criminal, and Municipal Court litigation, as well as real estate, including landlord/tenant matters. Before I was a lawyer, I was a Realtor. I have great practical experience in real estate transactions including landlord-tenant transactions.
I take great pride in my creative and personal service to ordinary, everyday people who need legal assistance.
I OFFER FLAT RATE DISCOUNTS AND A 10% MILITARY AND VETERAN DISCOUNT IN SELECT CASES
Most average people don’t have a budget for legal services. When something comes up, it’s often a hardship to hire an attorney. I recognize that and try to help people in a way that they can afford.

I had a difficult legal matter that Mike was able to resolve. He was very professional and communicated everything clearly, which helped ease a very stressful situation for me. I felt supported throughout the process, and the outcome was the best-case scenario given the circumstances. I highly recommend him.

I retained Mr. Cooke to handle a marital dissolution. Whilst these matters are typically very difficult for all parties involved. Michael was very compassionate an a very strong advocate for equal and equitable outcomes. He understood the stress and challenges I faced and went well beyond the call of duty, or expectations to help me navigate through those. While I hope for those reading this that you will not face the possibility of divorce, but should you find yourself facing that, I would more than highly recommend you contact Michael as your first step.
