This firm treats every client like they are their only client. The amount of time and resources they put into every case far surpasses any firm I have ever worked with. I highly recommend KJC for all your legal needs.
I have worked with Kathy Jo Cook for over a decade. She has represented me in both personal and professional matters and has given 150% every time. Kathy Jo is hardworking and always has my best interests in mind. She is professional and reliable and has been accessible as needed, even after business hours.
KJC Law firm represented myself and another individual in a work related age discrimination case and was successful in obtaining a settlement in our favor. Couldn’t be happier with the results and the representation.
Being across the continent from a sneaky defendant, I needed a solid representation. I contacted 3 firms, and the very same day I had an initial easy talk with Kathy – no big promises, but information on my standings in this situation. Then we got started! It was stressful as every legal action. But what was in power of my lawyers – Kathy and Timothy, was done perfectly, with clear and timely communication. Their knowledge and experience definitely helped, and smart strategy also. Just 2 days ago I got a very last check for my settlement. And here is why I am happy with my choice of KJC – I am at the intersection of JUST and FAIR in my case. Cheers to that!
KJC Law firm handled my case and I was very pleased with the results. The Team there always returned my calls or emails quickly. They are very direct and upfront on how they feel the case will go and the best ways of handling it. I would definitely call them again should I need their assistance and will recommend them to others highly.
We are extremely happy that we chose Kathy Jo Cook as our attorney. She brings experience, knowledge and compassion into the complicated legal process. Day or night, Attorney Cook always had time to talk to us and answer any questions we had throughout. We highly recommend her.
We wanted to thank you again so much for all you did for us and your support throughout this ordeal. You did a great job for us and we truly appreciate it. We wish you well always.
I have been a client for several years. They have performed my legal matters flawlessly. Easy to talk and work with and most importantly they get back to you asap when you have questions or concerns. They deserve high praise as a top Boston law firm.
Our client was a female surgeon who was denied hospital privileges for no apparent reason. Some years before, she had been discriminated against by her male supervisors at a hospital where she worked. She thought the second hospital had spoken to her former supervisors, but she had no proof of what had gone on in the confidential meeting.
We knew that we had little chance of getting the information we needed if we sued in state court because the discussions by doctors at these sorts of meetings are considered to be “peer review” and privileged by statute.
We took an alternate route and filed the case in federal court under a federal discrimination statute. There we had an argument that the state peer-review statute did not apply and that there was no similar federal privilege.
The defendants tried to get our case dismissed. As a result of a significant court battle, we were able to get the information and documents that the defendants claimed to be peer-review privileged. That gave us the evidence we needed from the confidential meetings to move the case forward.
We were contacted by the lead trial lawyer in a case on the west coast that involved death and severe injuries as a result of a helicopter crash. He had won a hard-fought judgment of $69.7 million.
During the pendency of that case, the insurance company responsible for paying certain benefits had interfered with their efforts to prosecute the case in a way we thought was illegal.
The problem was that the Massachusetts 3-year statute of limitations had passed on some of our claims by the time we got the case.
We sued the insurance company in Massachusetts on claims with longer statutes of limitation and included the other claims, but their lawyers got some of our best claims dismissed. We looked at every other possible state that arguably might have jurisdiction over the case to see what we could do.
We figured out a way to bring another lawsuit on those dismissed claims in Oregon, where the statute of limitations was longer.
Now we were litigating claims in two courts on opposite coasts. The insurance company knew we were not going away. After years of legal skirmishes, the case settled.
I have worked on some large cases with Kathy Jo and her team over the last few years. They are skilled lawyers, creative, insightful and willing to go the extra mile to make sure their clients get justice.
As a professional trustee responsible for over $100M in assets of supplemental needs trusts for children and adults in need of protection, I have a high fiduciary duty to select counsel to assist with complicated employment and consumer protection issues. For over 10 years Kathy Jo Cook has served as independent counsel on these issues. Kathy Jo has great empathy for these vulnerable clients in the most difficult situations and she works hard to make sure they are not taken advantage of and that they get what they need. Kathy Jo is an ethical and dedicated advocate for the vulnerable populations I serve that often have significant mental health and physical disabilities.
Our law firm needed a trial lawyer to sue a big insurance company that had interfered with a lawsuit where the jury awarded nearly $70 million in damages. We knew Kathy Jo and Tim had been successful in cases against insurance companies before and called them. We were very happy with their work. They are good folks and great lawyers.
