Hired Attorney Jack Cohoon

Working with this Lawyer exceeded my expectations. He was able to fully understand the demands and the attention to detail that my case would require. He went above and beyond with weekend and late night correspondence to keep me informed with relevant communications while keeping my case on track. He was fair, honest, hard working, and attentive. It was a pleasure to work with this lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone who requires legal employment representation. Thanks again for your services and continued success with this law firm. Respectfully, SC

Hired Attorney Jack Cohoon

I hired Mr. Jack Cahoon to help with an unemployment overpayment issue. This issue went on for quite some period. Mr. Cohoon did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable about the system, laws, and how it works. He was always very responsive with communicating and keeping me up to date. There were times that I was almost ready to give up while Mr. Cohoon persevered. He was always patient and professional. His calm demeanor, confidence, and expertise in this area of employment law were what kept me going. After several months, I am so grateful to say that my case has finally been settled and was granted in my favor. I never could have done this without Mr. Jack Cohoon from the BURNETTE SHUTT MCDANIEL Law firm. If I ever need an attorney again, I will not think twice about hiring Mr. Cohoon. I highly recommend you check out Mr. Cohoon at https://burnetteshutt.law Wendy

Hired Attorney Jack Cohoon

I have never needed an attorney before until the day that I did! So I feel extremely fortunate to have had my first experience with Jack Cohoon’s counsel. Through no fault of his own, the legal process was long and arduous. But when we finally had our hearing, Jack blew me away with his tenacity, knowledge, and compassion. Worth every penny and worth the wait to have my “day-in-court.”

Hired Attorney Jack Cohoon

From day one of being referred to Attorney Cohoon I was impressed with his professionalism and compassion. Attorney Cohoon took the time out to actually review my case and not just shut me out as I tried to explain in my lack of legal knowledge way. For that, Attorney Cohoon was able to see the illegal tactics that were being used against me. I often times was panicked or depressed about my matter and Attorney Cohoon showed me empathy and compassion. I would recommend Attorney Cohoon to everyone. Job Very Well Done.

Hired Attorney Jack Cohoon

Jack recently helped me work through an emotional matter with a former employer and I could not be more pleased with his services. I had the privilege to work alongside and learn from Jack as a new lawyer at SC Legal Services, where his knowledge and compassion were on display each day. He has clearly brought all his best attributes with him to private practice, and I cannot recommend him enough for tricky and/or sensitive employment matters.

I am extremely pleased with the services I received. My case was handled with compassion and professionalism. Originally a call for advice, the personal attention and wealth of information I received was such that I felt immediately comfortable obtaining the services of this attorney. I would indeed, and have since recommended this attorney and this firm.

She is an excellent contract and employment attorney with a great reputation in South carolina. She has done a great job under difficult circumstances helping me with my case. I would definitely recommend her and have to other people who need help with the type of law she practices

Hired Attorney Grant LeFever

Attorney LeFever pays close attention to detail. This was critical for a successful and complete resolution of this case. Multiple agencies were either directly involved, or to be involved later after the court decision. The subsequent process of dealing with all those different agencies, including Federal and other states, has been smooth and successful. This is due in no small part to attorney LeFever's attention to the requirements of all the parties and their inclusion in the order.

Hired Attorney Sarah Cox

Sarah Cox was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to explain what was going on, what we were working towards, what information we needed to obtain and the road to obtain it. She was patient and thorough in the process. She understood what we needed in the case and was able to obtain it during the process from the opposing side. She is very good at what she does and I will absolutely have her represent me in the future should the need arise. Thank you again Sarah!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
