About Nicholas
Biography
Nicholas C. Cooper has been practicing attorney disciplinary law, a very limited field, since the 1970s when he was appointed Chief Counsel, respectively, to the Disciplinary/Grievance Committees of the Appellate Divisions,1st and 2nd Departments. He has been in private practice for the last 35 years focusing exclusively on defense of attorney disciplinary cases and providing expert opinions and ethical advice to attorneys on all issues related to lawyers' professional responsibilities and legal ethics, as well as providing counsel to applicants seeking admission to the New York bar. He does not practice in any other area of law. This extremely limited practice enables him to provide an ultra-attentive focus not just on his clients and their cases, but also on this narrow field of law.

Excellent problem-solver and great attorney
I am an attorney, who recently moved to New York from Pennsylvania, and sought assistance with applying "on motion" to be a member of the NY bar. There was a small issue with my situation/application that I believed may be problematic. I did some internet research for an attorney, found Mr. Cooper, ...
Nicholas Charles Cooper's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I have consulted Nicholas Cooper from time to time since the 1980's. He is at present representing me on an important matter. Mr. Cooper is a sure-footed attorney. His mastery of law and specialized procedures is striking. Virtually every consultation or interview has left me with invigorated confidence. Whenever I have reached out, his response has been swift. He sees to it that I know clearly what he will do and why the particular step is necessary. And he is equally clear when no attorney service is called for. He submits every paper for my preview and demonstrates an ideal patience with my questions. Above all, I value having Nicholas Cooper in my corner. I am glad of this opportunity to endorse him. Daniel A. Eigerman"
