Cook, Netter, Cloonan, Kurtz & Murphy, P.C.

At Cook, Netter, Cloonan, Kurtz & Murphy, P.C., we have been providing legal services throughout New York State for more than 100 years. Our firm was established by Andrew J. Cook, Sr. in 1905 in Kingston, NY. Mr. Cook later served as assemblyman in the New York State Legislature and as county judge. The firm has included four generations of Cooks, and each of our lawyers is local, born and raised in Ulster County, NY. Though we have always been a general practice law firm, our practice has expanded over the years, concentrating on insurance defense and also representing plaintiffs. Our attorneys are negotiators and litigators who have extensive experience in a wide range of matters, including:

Insurance defense litigation
Insurance coverage issues
Commercial litigation
Municipal litigation

Trusts and estates
Residential and commercial real estate
Personal injury litigation
Civil rights and discrimination

Robert Netter, William Cloonan and Robert Cook joined the firm in the 1970s, and with the subsequent addition of Eric Kurtz, Thomas Murphy and Michael Cook, the firm became Cook, Netter, Cloonan, Kurtz & Murphy, P.C. We are a group of highly experienced trial attorneys, and we are proud of our history of providing top-quality legal services in the Hudson Valley and throughout New York state.
