With offices in Georgetown and Louisville, Cook & Watkins, PLC, is a law firm uniquely suited — by experience, design, and commitment — to serving businesses, business people, and individuals with estate planning needs. We invite you to contact us today to learn how we can meet your legal needs.
Whether you need advice on a business deal, guidance through a court case, or planning for your future, we have you covered.
At Cook & Watkins, PLC, we are committed to representing clients in transactions and litigation involving real property, because we know the importance that real property has to individuals and families beyond the monetary value of that property. The real property you own is more than a chunk of the Earth, it’s your place in the world. Our goal is to provide the same passion about your property rights that you have coupled with the skills necessary to secure your place in the world.
Our lawyers represent clients in disputes with their insurance companies over what their policies cover. If a claim is made against you which you think should be covered by your liability insurance policy and the insurance company denies coverage or notifies you that will defend you but reserve its right to later deny coverage of the claim, we can help. Similarly, if property you own is damaged or destroyed and your property insurance company denies your claim, we can help.
Our attorneys and staff combine a wide range of career experience, skills, and perspective to create a formidable team, dedicated to protecting your interests
