I reached out to the Law Office of Jonathan M. Cooper regarding a violent situation with my son's elementary school. After they asked me a bunch of questions regarding the incident, they came to the conclusion that they can't profit from my tragic situation, they quickly ended our conversation and fo...rced me exit. It was the single most unprofessional situation that I've ever experienced and I warn all clients and future clients of this firm to beware.

Jonathan helped us through a tough situation, where many great lawyers advised us to file bankruptcy. We hired Jonathan, and he held our hand and guided us. He was able to show the plaintiff's lawyer that we weren't at fault and we were the victims of a fraud. He also successfully negotiated a settle...ment

I retained Jonathan when my separation from my firm of almost 3 1/2 decades began to lose traction and i realized I was in need of quality counsel. Jonathan Cooper took to the task quite rapidly and adeptly. He drafted an ideal agreement and we were able to keep almost all of Jonathan's terms through... final execution of the documents. Jonathan kept a cool head despite what he described as trying conditions and that attitude was extremely helpful to me. I could never have negotiated this deal myself without the able and informed advice I received from Jonathan. If you ever need a lawyer to handle non-compete clauses in an overall effort to get what is fair and just, make sure you sit down with Jonathan first. Unless you secretly like to lose ground, you'll sign his retainer and get him on your side as fast as possible. The legal fees you spend on the quality lawyering Jonathan Cooper delivers can be measured in: i) the number of your goals achieved; ii) the number of your dollars saved; and iii) the doctor bills you avoided. Thanks a lot Jonathan

Jonathan Cooper has represented us on a rather complex case. Here's my overall review: 1) He is very fairly priced, not not just per hour... Based on the amount of work he did versus what our previous attorney did, it ended up costing us about 80% less than what we paid for our previous attorney. ... 2) He is very hands on. He gets the full picture and comprehends the minute details very quickly which ends up saving a lot of time, headaches and of course money. 3) His work is very professional. 4) Finally and most importantly, his advise to us was purely based on what he believed was most beneficial to us, and not what would bring him more billable hours. Once you get to know him you see that that's just the kind of person he is - honest and straightforward!

I was involved in litigation related to a non-compete contractual dispute that involved dual litigation in California and New York. While initially i had tried to fight for the case to be heard in California, we ultimately failed in that effort, it was then that after searching online I came across ...Jonathan's website. If you've ever been involved in a lawsuit, then you know you're initially hungry for information. Jonathan's articles on the issue were quite clear in demonstrating his knowledge on the subject matter, and the style was also very easy to read. Upon an initial consultation, he came across as a very understanding of the situation and seemed confident that the situation could be handled based on the initial details on the case, which eventually led me to retain him as my attorney. Without knowing much about how litigation goes, I've come to realize that notwithstanding a solid background in the legal principles behind your defense, knowing how to sell it to the other party is crucial. When it came time to actually sit down with the opposing party for mediation, understandably both sides were somewhat confrontational, but I felt Jonathan managed the pace and took control of the situation and just seemed more conciliatory - without knowing what went on behind closed doors with the other party, I certainly was happy to have him on my side than the opposing attorney defending the other party. In the end, the settlement was more than satisfactory, and I could almost argue it to have been a win. Not to wish upon myself that I would ever need his services again, but if it came to be, and in particular to non-compete/trade secret/confidentiality issues, I'd definitely go back to him, and I would recommend him to anybody in NY in need of similar expertise.
