Our Commitment To Our Clients

Most people we represent are good people who found themselves in a difficult situation. Our job is to understand your case, understand what matters to you, and find the outcome that puts you on the best path forward.

Open and Accessible

Brian gives every client his personal cell phone number. You can reach him any time, day or night. Your file is also stored in the cloud, so you can access it whenever you need to.

Fair and Upfront Fees

We offer our services with flat-rate fees, based on the estimated work for your case. We are upfront about what that looks like from the first conversation, and we work with clients on payment arrangements when needed.

Holistic representation

In many cases, we work alongside our clients to address the issues that led to the charge in the first place. That can include helping connect clients with drug, alcohol, or mental health treatment when it is appropriate.

Most criminal defense attorneys take whatever deals the prosecutor offers and tell you it is the best you can do. We do not work that way. We learn the facts of your case and get to know you before we build a defense around your situation.

For some clients, that means negotiating quietly with the prosecution to avoid a conviction on their record. For others, it means going to trial and fighting for a not guilty verdict. Either way, we stay accessible to you throughout the entire process and explain your options as your case moves forward.

We offer a free consultation. If you are facing charges, please do not hesitate to contact St. Louis Attorney Brian Cooke today!

Meet Brian Cooke

A criminal charge is one of the most stressful things a person can face. After an arrest, it can feel like the outcome is already decided. It is not. No attorney can guarantee a result, but we can guarantee that we will do everything possible to get the best outcome for your case. That applies whether you are dealing with a low-level misdemeanor or a serious felony.

We treat your case as if it were our own. We do not rush to accept the prosecutor’s first offer. We do not pressure clients into plea deals. We look at every possible defense and prepare as if the case is going to trial. Brian has represented clients facing nearly every type of criminal charge, from misdemeanors to murder, and brings that experience to each case, regardless of criminal history.

How the Criminal Defense Process Works in Missouri

Most people have never been through the criminal justice system before. A case typically starts with an investigation, moves through an arrest and arraignment, and then resolves either through negotiation or trial. What happens at each of those stages, and how law enforcement handled your case, determines what options are available to you. We walk you through every step and explain what is happening and why.

Getting us involved early, before charges are filed or before you answer any questions, means your side of the story is part of that picture from the start. We handle every stage of the process, from the initial investigation through trial, if necessary.
