“Ron Cook came highly recommended to me by a family member. I needed assistance with my financial situation which had become unbearable and overwhelming. Upon speaking with Mr. Cook I felt at ease

He as well as his staff were professional and understanding. Throughout the process he always took the time to explain legal terms and answered all of my questions. My bankruptcy went smoothly, I would highly recommend him to anyone with financial issues. I am satisfied with the service received his assistance was very much appreciated and I would use his services in the near future.”

“Ron I would like to thank you so much for helping me through my bankruptcy. When I was faced with the reality that I needed to file for bankruptcy,  I went for a consultation with a different attorney.  I felt like just a number and very uncomfortable. A co worker of mine referred you to me.  After just speaking with you on the phone, I immediately felt I was in good hands.  I felt you were extremely knowledgeable, and took your time explaining the entire process to me.  I couldn’t have been happier with your services and would highly recommend you. Thank you again for everything!”

“It gives me great satisfaction to offer you my gratitude and testimonial of your services handling my recent bankruptcy case. There is no questioning the fact that your rare blend of analytical and inter personal skills were necessary to decipher my well meaning notes of my current financial picture.  Being that you are so very well-organized and highly efficient, the completion of my application for the Chapter 7 bankruptcy was done with ease. Your friendly nature and exceptional communication skills were clearly demonstrated in the multitude of reply e-mails you sent answering every one of my concerns with the utmost of urgency. At all times, I found you to be dependable, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest, and courteous, even when I was thoroughly confused by the process and gave you the mistaken impression that I had payment with me at our first meeting.  It meant a lot when you extended your trust to me
by allowing me to pay you at a later date. Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on my bankruptcy case. Your professionalism made the process easy and your reassuring manner gave me the confidence to move forward with the very difficult task of ceasing all wage garnishments for debts left over from my divorce.  I will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in need of legal services.”

“After only a few short months of being laid off from my job of 7 years, I could no longer pay my bills.  My credit score plummeted from the low 800’s to the low 500’s!  I have always been prideful of the fact that I pay all my bills on time.  Living on my own, I had been suffocating in debt for over a decade.  My debt to income ratio was astounding, taking into account all of my student loans and earning a very low income as a licensed social worker.  I was often denied personal/business loans for this very reason.  Most recently, I was denied a loan to build my own private practice.  Filing for bankruptcy was always my ‘biggest nightmare!’  After
consulting with several debt consolidation agencies, I came across a bankruptcy questionnaire online.  The results led me to a link for Ronald Cook’s website.  Being quite skeptical, I called his office and spoke with him.  Ron was pleasant, patient, and mild-mannered.  I had a great deal of questions and Ron had all the answers.  He very calmly informed me that all of the “negatives” that went along with filing were negatives I was ALREADY experiencing. Ron is a very intelligent bankruptcy attorney and puts you at ease in his presence.  He is very fair in determining appropriate fees to charge each individual client.  I have recommended him to several friends and colleagues ever since I filed.  If you are struggling with similar financial concerns, contact Ron immediately!  I recommend him without reservation.  I am now debt free after 16 years of struggling.  I am very pleased with my decision.  I have never felt more free and this financially unburdened.  Thank you Ron! I now have the fresh start I have always dreamed of!”

“After the collapse of my business I found myself in a Perilous situation. I had used my gone through my Financial Resources and credit cards to keep a dying business alive. I had a small income which did not even pay all my bills and had the weight of paying back the bank and credit
cards. I had tried refinancing my debt or a debt payment plan. Even with a new payment plan I found it impossible to pay back my debts. Faced with the possibility of the loss of my house I was advised  by my lawyer to investigate bankruptcy. At first I did not want to go in this path but as the calls and letters started to arrive I decided to find a Bankruptcy lawyer. I took the advice of my lawyer to find a local lawyer. I found some lawyers recommended by friends but was not happy with anyone of them. I decided to check on line and found Ron. I checked him out and found no negative comments on his practices. I called Ron and from the first conversation I felt he was capable and sounded interested in my situation.
He spent a lot of time with me on the phone. I did check with a few other Law Firms but did not feel as comfortable and sure as I did with Ron. Ron took my case and it came to a successful outcome. Thank you Ron.”

“I finally realized I could not solve my growing financial issues on my own and asked around for a lawyer with experience in bankruptcy consulting and legal representation.   Ron Cook was recommended to me by a good friend.  From our first consultation to finally receiving the bankruptcy discharge – Ron has been professional, excellent in follow-up, very knowledgeable about the process –  and always willing to work with me.  I asked many questions over the time and Ron answered all of them – and in verbiage I could both understand and use to discuss with my wife.  I am very comfortable in recommending that anyone in financial trouble – should consider using Ron’s services.”

“I was in financial trouble and I needed legal counsel. I searched the internet and found Ronald Cook. I was impressed with his website because it was formatted in a clear, concise, detail-oriented manner. I called and made an appointment for my initial, free consultation. Mr. Cook accommodated me by making an appointment around my schedule. When I first entered Mr. Cook’s office, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I explained my current financial situation, he explained all of my options, and how his firm could help me resolve my financial concerns.”
————————————————————————————————-
“He communicated with me in manner in which I understood exactly what he was saying. After talking to him for a few hours I knew that he was the right attorney for me. Throughout this process he always took the time to explain legal terms to me, and answer all of my questions.

“In a year filled with “upside-down” homeowners and high unemployment, I have referred several former and prospective clients to Ron Cook for his expertise in bankruptcy and in forensic mortgage audits (seeing if the banks made errors in executing a mortgage loan). I have heard back from these people, and they are all glad and thankful that I made the referral. Especially in these times, I’m glad that I know Ron and can refer him to the people who need his help.”
————————————————————————————————-
“My husband and I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did regarding our bankruptcy case. You made the process very easy and you were very reassuring during a time when we really needed someone we could trust. You were very easy to talk to and always got back to us in a

————————————————————————————————-
“We needed a lawyer for some financial matters. Not knowing one, we searched the internet and found Ronald Cook. We called and made an appointment for our initial free consultation (which he made around my schedule), and after talking to him for a few hours we knew that he was
the attorney for us.
————————————————————————————————-
From start to finish, he always took the time to explain any legal terms to us, and answered any questions we had. His knowledge of bankruptcy and the subject matter we were dealing with was very extensive, which made me all the more comfortable. I would retain him again and would
highly recommend him to anyone with legal needs. Thanks Ron, you made a difficult process a lot easier to deal with.”
————————————————————————————————-
“When I first entered Mr. Cook’s office, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, after explaining my current financial situation, he explained all of my options, and how his firm could help. He told me in a way that I understood exactly what he was saying. If a legal term came up, he would immediately explain what it was. I never felt lost or confused when in a meeting or on the phone with Mr. Cook; he was there for the entire bankruptcy process. Mr. Cook knows his field inside and out, and I would highly recommend him if you are in need of bankruptcy service. I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Mr. Cook.”
————————————————————————————————-
“Mr. Ron Cook lived up to his lofty qualifications, which can be seen on the home page of his website. As busy as his firm was in his Smithtown office, Ron or Carolyn were always available to answer a quick question in regard to our bankruptcy case, unless, of course, he was in court. His technological savvy was on display at his office, which really streamlined the whole process. Mr. Cook was always courteous and always answered our questions using his vast knowledge, even if a question was not specific to our case. And, last but not least, the fee we were quoted at the beginning of the process was the fee we paid. There were absolutely no hidden charges. Thank you Ron.”
————————————————————————————————-
“What impressed me about working with Ron was how quickly his mind worked in summing up my situation and plotting multiple strategies for dealing with it. He didn’t waste any time (read “my money”) in the implementation of the selected plan, which led to a successful outcome.
I highly recommend his firm.”
————————————————————————————————-
“I have known Ron for approximately 8 years. I needed an attorney for a specific legal matter and decided to hire Ron to represent me. He took the matter on and has worked diligently towards a resolution. I feel very confident that he will handle this task to the utmost of his ability.
I highly recommend Ron; he is very reasonable and quite thorough. Keep up the great work Ron.”
————————————————————————————————-
“What was impressive to me was that Ron’s expertise, coupled with that of his associate, gave me the pros and cons of the action I was considering taking. Very often we assume lawyers will leap at a case and tell you “yes, you have a rock-solid case” just to get you to go forward with your action. In this situation, two attorneys showed tremendous integrity by discussing the merits and the challenges of the information I provided to them. While they felt certain that there was a legitimate case, and they were interested in taking it, I never felt pressured to move forward based on anyone’s attempt to make this look like a “slam-dunk.” Ron was sensitive
to the possible effects this case could have on my daughter emotionally, and was candid about the range of possible outcomes. We opted not to go forward with the action, and it was because of an attorney with class, expertise and tremendous integrity. I will not hesitate to work with
Ron Cook in the future should the opportunity arise.”
————————————————————————————————
“Ron is an attorney with a HEART…High integrity, Expert, great Attitude, Reliable and Trustworthy… I recommend him to anyone, anytime without any reservation. He goes the extra mile on your case while being extra careful and very sensitive to your needs. He is very knowledgeable in his field and my conclusion after the way my case was handled, is this…
he is a team player, and I am glad he is on my team. Thanks Ron and keep up the great work!”

————————————————————————————————
“Ron joined The Alternative Board nearly a year ago. During that time I have been able to look at Ron’s business and see the inside workings of his firm. Because of my inside understanding, I have referred multiple clients to Ron. His broad range of knowledge, his extremely technical background and his LL.M. (master of law) makes him an ideal choice as an attorney for business owners of all kinds. I have recommended prospective
bankruptcy clients and several people needing issue resolution to Ron. Ron’s knowledge of the key people who make the bankruptcy decisions and his desire not to push people into bankruptcy if they do not need it make him my referral choice in this area. Ron’s ability to negotiate and his common sense approach to issue resolution and his tenacious ability
to right wrongs make him my referral choice for business owner issue resolution. PS For all this his rates are extremely fair and reasonable!”

technological skills are quite impressive and make Ron an excellent resource.”
————————————————————————————————
“I would highly recommend Ron Cook to anyone in need of legal services because Ron is a straight shooter. Before Ron Cook accepts any form of retainer fee he often spends a great deal of time speaking with possible clients on the pros and cons of the case based on what they are telling him. Ron Cook is a very intelligent, highly motivated attorney who is caring,
compassionate, and honest with his prospective clients. While other attorneys take on cases just to make some money, Ron Cook will not waste anyone’s time or money if he doesn’t feel there is a strong case to be made.”
————————————————————————————————
“I have consulted with Ron on many important business matters and have successfully relied on his judgment for close to 10 years. By hiring Ron to work with me on complex business negotiations and transactions it has literally both saved and made me a ton of money as a direct result of his timely and accurate advice.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincerest recommendation of Ronald S. Cook and his many areas of expertise. Over the past 5 years I have had the pleasure of making use of Ron’s services in bankruptcy filings, business set ups, and in the technology field.
Each time I found his pleasant disposition comforting, while maintaining a professional demeanor. He was always able to relate complex legalese in an understanding manner. He always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner, and moreover, was expeditious in the handling of all and any of my concerns. I found his fee(s) to be fair and well
within my expectations.”

————————————————————————————————
“In 2009, due to a business failure in 2008, I was forced to consider bankruptcy. After consulting with Ron, and as he analyzed my situation, his recommendations could not have been better. He explained all of my options and made it very easy to make a decision on what was best for me. Ron helped me through this process in a way that could not have been
more professional. Along with his staff and his experience, my situation today is much better. There were times where Ron had to push me to get things done. There were times when I did not take care of some of my obligations, and through Ron’s persistence and knowledge of the importance of my financial situation, his help was relentless. His
patience and perseverance definitely helped me and my financial situation. I thank Ron and his staff for all they have done. I hope not to be in this situation again, but if I was, Ron Cook would be my attorney again; without a doubt. Thanks Ron!”
