Car Accident Representation

Mr. Cooper was very informative and knowledgeable regarding my case. He thoroughly explained the process and answered all my questions in a prompt manner. He and his staff were very helpful and caring which was very comforting as this was not a process I was familiar with nor an event that was easy... to talk about. Mr. Coopers calm and patient demeanor made it much easier for me to provide the details of what happened on the day of the accident. I would strongly recommend Mr. Cooper as he is an exceptional lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
