Cook, Barkett, Ponder & Wolz

Cook, Barkett, Ponder & Wolz Experience. Excellence. Results. While many firms claim to try cases, only 2% of civil cases ever reach trial. At CBPW, we regularly go to trial-and win.

At CBPW, we have a statewide and national practice that has given us extensive experience in state courts, the Courts of Appeals and federal courts. This success allows us to negotiate larger and more favorable settlements for our clients. In addition to our success in the courtroom, we are experienced in motion and appellate practice. Over the years, we have won thousands of motions ranging from

dismissal motions to complicated motions in class action cases. We are equally skilled at protecting our verdicts against reversals by appellate courts and in obtaining relief for our clients when the law has been improperly applied at the trial court level. CBPW focuses on helping those who have been hurt by the carelessness of others. Although we are experienced in handling all manner of negligence cases, some types of cases occur more frequently than others. The following are some of our more prominent areas of representation.

-Automobile and Truck cases

-Business Litigation, incluidng antritrust and unfair competition, business fraud, breach of contracts and business interference

-Medical cases, including drug recall and pharmacy errors, medical negligence and nursing home neglect

-Defective Products and Product Recall

-Personal Injury and Wrongful Death, including brain injuries, electrocutions, jobsite injuries, gas explosions, chemical exposure, serious slip and fall, and insurance coverage or bad faith litigation

Through detailed investigation and strategic evidence gathering, our team proved what really happened. A dangerous maneuver by a commercial truck driver created an unavoidable situation. The result?
