Who We Are

Larry Chipman and Aaron Cook joined their expertise to form Chipman Cook, P.C. in 1999. Their combined experience and training offers clients solid legal guidance on personal property, business, and financial matters.

Larry G. Chipman 

Larry received his bachelor’s degree in Business (with honors) in 1976.  He received his law degree from the University of Arkansas in 1981, where he was winner of the “Client Counseling” competition and participated in Moot Court.  He is admitted to practice law in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. 

Larry is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys; The American Bar Association, including the Business Law and Real Property, Probate & Trust Law sections and Elder Law Committee; The Missouri Bar Association; and the J. Ruben Clark Law Society.  He has taught Business law at a local business college. 

In 1983, Larry received an American Bar Association award for outstanding legal assistance to Armed Forces personnel and in 1992 was recognized for Outstanding Community Service for work with the Advance Directives Project by the Midwest Bioethics Center, Metropolitan Medical Society of Great Kansas City and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association.  Larry served three years in the U.S. Army as an attorney and still serves in the Army Reserves. 

Larry is married to Elizabeth, and they are the parents of an 11-year old son, Alex.  They enjoy music, travel, and involvement in Alex’s scout troop.

J. Aaron Cook

Aaron received his bachelor’s of science degree, magna cum laude, from Brigham Young University in 1995.   During college, Aaron successfully opened and operated an agency for financing professional services.

After college, Aaron earned his juris doctorate degree from Yale Law School.  While in law school, he assisted community groups and indigent clients through his work in the Family Law Clinic and Environmental Law Clinic.  Upon graduation, he earned his attorney’s license with the Missouri and Kansas Bar Associations.

Aaron moved to Kansas City and began practicing at Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin, among the nation’s largest law firms, serving international corporate clients.  After consistent work on large corporate projects, however, Aaron developed a desire to instead work one-on-one with clients in more personalized legal service.  That brought him together with Larry Chipman to form Chipman Cook, P.C., offering expert assistance for each individual client.

Aaron married his college love, Anja, in 1995.  They together enjoy outdoor activities and work with the youth of their church.
