About Cook Law

Cook Law & ADR, PLLC is a Minnesota-based law firm established in 2015 by Timothy C. Cook. Mr. Cook is an attorney with over thirty years of experience across several fields of legal discipline. His most notable fields include construction, surety, real estate, business, employment, and insurance.

Tim Cook’s commitments to people, quality, and integrity run deep. This is perhaps best evidenced by the fact that, until forming Cook Law & ADR, his entire legal career was spent with only two firms. The first nearly twenty years of Tim’s career was spent at Moore, Costello, & Hart, a Saint Paul-based firm that housed some of the best attorneys in all of the Midwest. Shortly after the turn of the century Tim joined the law firm of Hammargren & Meyer, PLLC, a Minneapolis boutique firm that was suited to Tim’s philosophy and that had a small but solid fleet of skilled attorneys. With both firms deceased, Tim decided to follow his lifelong dream and started Cook Law & ADR, PLLC.

Over the years, Cook Law & ADR’s clients have included virtually all players in the construction industry. Tim assists clients on all aspects of the construction process on projects of all sizes, public or private. Tim also represents businesses and individuals on a range of other matters. Most notably, Tim Cook is well trained in providing alternate dispute resolution (ADR) services to help resolve legal disputes.  Mr. Cooks ADR services aim to provide prompt, fair, and affordable resolutions.
