Do not use Melvin he does not research your case or do anything you ask or look at paper work you send him. Worst of all he quit 5 minutes right before the court time he quit. Don't waste your money and find a competent attorney.

Melvin has worked on many cases of mine and others I have referred to him. He has done an excellent job. I give him five stars, six if I could.

Mel is a great lawyer!

My ex-husband wanted to take advantage of me because of my deafness, and inability to communicate correctly.

We were separated for more than 5 years, I do not have job. He told the judge that he was crazy and he was determined to make me pay Alimony to him, because he says that I had, or have a good job, and this is false. I was and I am surviving just with the Help of the State because of my disability.

I found Mr. Cook though the website, I emailed him many times, and explained to him my case ( by my captioning device for the deaf and hard of hearing ). Starting that day, He was my lawyer. And I am so grateful to him because he fought hard in my case. My ex-husband falsified information making the case harder to present/investigate the allegations. But at the end Mr. Cook, was able to respond and prove that this individual was trying to take advantage of me, Mr. Cook won the case!

Now, I can say to everyone reading this page that God, put Mr Cook in my life to help me with this matter, I was with working with another lawyer before and believe me, "nothing close to Mr. Cook". He is an honest, caring and knowledgeable lawyer who will go out of his way, to help you in every way he can. It was my pleasure to met him and I would recommend him to anyone!.

God bless you Mr. Cook!

Thank you,

I loved working with Mel. He was so attentive towards my needs in filing for ssdi benefits. Like his reviews say he appeals and appeals over and over if needed and always stays on the case. He is a great guy all around and the second time applying for social security i received it. He immediately congratulated me and was so nice in doing so. He's an extremely hard worker and deserves an awesome review. absolutely no complaints, great guy. Thanks to the Law offices of Melvin A. Cook i got my ssdi, what a blessing!!!! Thank You!

Melvin cool is the best he became part of my family and I will always be greatfull thank you Melvin cook

Melvin is always punctual, a trustworthy person, loyal. He helped us in our situations, and through it he became our friend. Whatever we needed, we knew we could count on him to aid us. Melvin always returned our calls and we are grateful for him. We recommend him to all our friends and family.

Mel Cook is a consummate Professional. In November 2014 I was laid off work for medical reasons. Mel was referred to me by our HR department to assist in filing a disability clam with the Social Security Administration. Mel met with me to file the paper work which on initial response from the S.S.A. was declined. Mel then worked with me on the appeal and S.S. came back with a reversal of their initial decision. Mel was able to file and appeal with an agreeable resolution coming from the S.S.A. in about six and a half months. This is an amazing accomplishment if you've ever had to work with the government and you know how slowly the wheels of the system can turn. Mel has been supportive through this process. He has provided sound advice and has provided a listening hear to my thoughts and concerns. Mel is a good man and true to his word. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an individual with integrity and a solid work ethic.

I was very pleased with Mr. Mel Cook's representation. I would recommend him to anybody. I will give him the highest rating on his service and professionalism.

I had a very hard, but strong case. If you need a lawyer I would strongly suggest Melvin Cook. we won my case after a lot of hard work. Thank you Melvin. April Wines

I've had occasion to utilize Mel's services on two separate occasions. The first was for a drawn out (by the other party) child custody evaluation for my son. I was concerned about getting a fair shake in the legal system because I was a father and it seems that fathers have a much harder time winning custody. Mel never made promises he couldn't keep and helped guide the case through the legal hoops I had no idea existed, resulting in a successful case for me. The second was for an estate matter where my mother-in-law died intestate. He was able to give me the help I needed to handle the legal requirements of notifying creditors and filing papers with the court. He gave me as much help as I needed and advised me without pressuring me to take any particular course of action. Mel is professional, friendly, and level headed, all welcome and essential attributes for an attorney dealing with potentially very emotional situations. I think Mel would be an excellent choice to consult with regarding any legal matter. If he thinks you don't have a case, he'll tell you. If he thinks you do, then he can get the job done.

If you need to file for disability I strongly suggest that you give Mel a call. I had answered an on line questionnaire that had several attorney contacts. I did some shopping around also, Mel was the only response that I had received from this questionnaire. Thinking now that from the lack of no other attorney's interest that I may not qualify for disability and talking with Mel at this point he assured me that he would not have taken my case if he did not think he could help me. He was right. Not only did he help me but my case was resolved quickly in my favor. Mel is a down to earth all around good guy. I owe him much gratitude. You should give him a call.

In all of Melvin Cook's interactions with his clients that I have witnessed, he is extremely fair, and always interested in a fair and good resolution to all the cases he is involved in. He works hard to ensure that he represents his clients well. I highly recommend Melvin Cook as a competent and understanding lawyer.

I've known Mel professionally and as a friend for many years. He's a great guy. I feel comfortable referring people to Mel for legal help as well.
