The judge took only a few hours to make his decision to disban the law firm of Cook and Harding and awarded most of the financial holdings Harding. John Cook walked away with very little finanial assets but with a clean record where the Harding Law Firm was left with at least three lawsuits ahead of them. John did lose his house that his wife Joan and him live in since they wed seven years before He didn't know how Joan was going to feel all they had left was Joan's Candy Shop business. He talked to his mother on the way home on the bus ride that he took evey day.. He didn't need a car with law firm was close to the jail, cout house, and he met his clients at his office. he was glad that Joan's Candy Shop wasn't affected in the break up and the accusation of illegal doings.
When he got home Joan was waiting and stated that she had several calls from the media wanting interviews. Over dinner John informed her that her business was kept out of all of the nasty business but we did lose our house so I'm not sure where we are going to live. Joan asked him how long they have. He replied six weeks. He apologized for getting involved with the Harding Law Firm. The next question she had for him was Are they going to disbar you with the others that Harding hung out to dry. He shook his head and said no Babe I will keep my law license. Joan gave a sigh and said well that's a blessing.
