At Cook, Barkett, Ponder and Wolz, we’re proud to share that our firm has been certified as a 2025 BridgeTower Media® Best Places to Work Law Firm.
This isn’t just an award. It’s a testament to the culture we’ve built on trust, respect, and shared commitment. Our own employees’ anonymous feedback is what earned us this recognition through a rigorous survey, measuring key factors like fairness, support, and teamwork. That process proves our belief: a team with a focused mission delivers better results.
Why This Matters
A strong and unified team is critical when you’re facing a personal injury case. We support one another so we can stand together for you with every resource, every ounce of determination, and every bit of experience we have.
Managing Partner Attorney J. Michael Ponder puts it this way:
“This certification is a tremendous honor because it comes directly from our team. It confirms that we have built an environment where our people feel valued and empowered. When you are in the business of fighting for people during the worst times of their lives, the strength of your team is everything. A positive, unified culture isn’t just an internal benefit; it is the engine that drives our determination to secure the best possible outcomes for our clients. It ensures that when life hits hard, we have the strongest possible team ready to hit back.”
Insurance companies are ready for a fight. So are we, because our team culture lifts every member to deliver their best and take on tough opposition with resolve and compassion.
