Law Offices of Jesse D. Cook PLC - Tempe, AZ

We are landlords with property in Cochise County, Arizona. We retained Jesse Cook and his associate Ethan Aman on a limited representation basis to assist us with an appeal to the Superior Court of an adverse Justice Court decision, which pertained to our (landlord's) alleged violations of the Arizona Residential Landlord Tenant Act (ARLTA). Ethan Aman wrote the appeal. While the appeal was unsuccessful, we (and he) believe this was due to the Court's disregard of the facts and misuse of the law, basically demonstrating the Court's unwillingness to do any actual work. The appeal document was thorough, factual, and well-constructed. Ethan worked well with us to incorporate information we believed was important for the Court to (re)consider. We followed up with a Motion for Reconsideration, responding to the Superior Court's decision. We wrote the reconsideration memorandum, but we hired Jesse Cook (again) to review it in the context of the Superior Court's decision. While we only paid for a 1 hour consultation, Jesse Cook devoted much more time than that to assist us in getting the memo right. He also carefully analyzed our actions/the facts of the case (that resulted in our loss in Justice Court) with respect to our statutory obligations. He concluded we had acted correctly, that our tenant was at fault, and that the Courts had misapplied the laws and ignored the facts of the case. He summarized his opinion by stating that had our case been heard in Maricopa County, we absolutely would have prevailed. Cook's firm specializes in helping tenants who are dealing with bad landlords. They are perhaps the most tenant-focused law firm in Arizona. We knew this about them, going in, and it is why we selected their firm. We wanted a firm that would set us straight, if indeed we were acting badly and violating ARLTA. If you are a good landlord, or want to become one, you should work with this law firm. Because they have strong experience in pursuing cases from both tenants' and landlords' perspectives, they have unique and valuable skills not possessed by other "landlord" law firms. We recommend you consider Jesse Cook first for your ARLTA lawsuit.

I have never sued anyone in my life until recently, when an evil, greedy person(s) decided to rip me off for my hard-earned money through fraudulent means. I was truly blessed in finding Jesse Cook. He saved me a lot of grief and frustration, my sanity and a lot of money. If you are ever in a position of being manipulated and being robbed of YOUR money, I highly recommend Jesse Cook. He will fight for your rights. Jesse is brilliant! He knows fraud laws extremely well. Professional and aggressive! His assistant Kierra Formica is on top of it as well. She is sharp, kind, and patiently thorough in answering my questions while guiding me through the process. Thanks to their expertise, the nightmare is over.

I had a consultation with Jesse Cook yesterday and I couldn’t be more happy with how it went. This was my first time contacting an attorney and I was very nervous. But Mr. Cook was very down to earth, helped me understand all my options, and answered every question I had clearly and concisely. The peace of mind I got as a result of our conversation was 100% worth the cost of the consultation, which was reasonably priced to begin with. Frankly, if you could leave 25% tips for attorneys like you do with other professionals, I would. In addition, the legal assistant who scheduled the consultation and accepted all of my documentation (Kierra Formica) was very professional, articulate, and pleasant to work with.
