Traffic Tickets & DMV

Speeding, cell phone, and other Vehicle & Traffic Law violations, point reduction, license suspensions, and CDL tickets — including matters at the Suffolk and Nassau TPVAs and the NYC TVB. Most cases are handled without the client ever appearing in court.

Bankruptcy & Debt

Chapter 7, 13, 11, and Subchapter V bankruptcy, plus debt-collection lawsuit defense, foreclosure defense, wage garnishment, and frozen accounts. Attorney Cook holds an LL.M. in Bankruptcy and uses the automatic stay and exemptions to protect what matters.

Estate Planning & Probate

Wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care proxies, and living wills, along with Medicaid asset-protection planning and Surrogate’s Court probate. Plans are drafted to current New York law, not generic templates.

Litigation

Civil disputes in New York’s state and federal courts — real property and partition actions, breach of contract, intellectual property, defamation, and small claims. Representation from the demand letter through trial under the CPLR.

Criminal Defense

Misdemeanor and lower-level criminal matters including DWI and DWAI, petit larceny, reckless driving, and leaving the scene — with appearances in Suffolk and Nassau District Courts. Early intervention often shapes the outcome.

Business Law

Entity formation (LLC, PLLC, and corporation), operating and shareholder agreements, contracts, business purchases and sales, and compliance matters such as FinCEN beneficial ownership reporting. Counsel grounded in both the legal and financial sides of running a company.

Personal Injury

Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims. The firm pursues full compensation for injuries caused by another party’s negligence.

Tax

IRS and New York State audits, offers in compromise, installment agreements, tax warrants, FBAR/FATCA compliance, and the collection statute. Attorney Cook holds an LL.M. in Taxation and represents clients in conciliation conferences and beyond.

Healthcare Law

Representation of physicians, practices, and other providers — PLLC formation, professional licensing, malpractice defense, billing and prescription-fraud defense, and independent dispute resolution. Legal support built around how medical practices actually operate.

Real Estate

Residential and commercial transactions, foreclosure defense and loan modification, landlord matters and eviction, quiet title, and construction disputes. Guidance through every stage of a New York real estate matter.

Immigration

Green cards, citizenship and dual citizenship, DACA and TPS matters, the EB-5 investment program, and the immigration consequences of criminal and tax issues. Practical help navigating federal immigration processes.

Student Legal Issues

Legal help for college and graduate students — immigration and visa questions, student loan debt, FERPA records issues, and academic or AI-misconduct accusations. Support for the specific situations students face.
