Quick Response and Knowledgable

Simply the Best

Faced a DUI charge with a refusal d/t unfamiliarity with state laws. Facing an unimaginable burden and other unexpected consequences, Mr Cooper was there at a moment's notice to answer all of my questions and help guide me through every step of the way. More importantly - he explained everything in a simple, straightforward and matter-of-fact manner. Mr Cooper provided me with the kind of reassurance that only a conscientious professional skilled at his craft could provide. I could not have hoped for a better outcome that what Mr Cooper was able to provide.

Quick Response and Knowledgable

Zach helped me get through a 1st offense DUI. I reached out to Zach the day after my DUI and he responded within minutes. He was always available by text or call. He responded all days of the week and was quick to do what he said he would do. Zach's prices to seem to be at a bit of a premium compared to other lawyers, but you get top notch service. I'd recommend Zach to anyone who finds them self in a tricky DUI situation.

Had my second dui and due to a refusal was a level 3 violation (Top Rier)

Zack got this reduced to a level 1 allowing me to spend 5 days in jail instead of the 90 that I had expected. Highly recommend him.

If you ever need a lawyer he is the man to hire!! Thanks again Zach

Major reduction in my sentence...

Zach was able to negotiate a huge reduction in my sentence through his expertise in handling DUI cases. He kept me assured throughout my case that we would have a strong defense which kept me confident and at ease in an otherwise difficult position.

Excellent DUI Lawyer that will WORK for your case

I hired Zachary Cooper as a 1st time DUI offender. My case involved my vehicle flipping over. From the first phone call, Zach assured me that he will take the necessary steps and actions to drive to the lowest penalty. Zach gave clear instructions of what to do and when to do them. Each step along the way, he was always reachable and attentive to my concerns. Even after being denied ARD twice due to a previous record, Zach did the unthinkable and got me the lowest DUI sentencing possible, just 6 months probation. His work kept me with my family, saved my license and preserved my occupation. Zach delivered.

A GREAT REPRESENTATION!

Attny Cooper, represents me in my DUI case in Bucks Cooper. His representation was very effective and lawyer. After preliminary hearings Zac follow-up on my case to the end. I was denied ADR as 1st offender based on the nature of mine, but he argued and I was given a 'minimum' penalty of probation with "conditions" not to report if I met my financial requirements. What I had taken from Zac is, he tells you the facts given the nature of your case. He advises you to take and follow all the required steps. I did and it all helped me out as well. Thanks, Zac. Son.

Excellent lawyer!

I hired Mr. Cooper to defend my son, who had very serious second DUI/suspended license charges against him. Theses carried mandatory jail sentences. Following Mr. Cooper's recommendations, (rehab), and with his skill and experience in this system, my son received probation, community service, fines, but no jail time. Not one day. He could have faced a minimum of two 90 sentences to serve consecutively. To say that I am happy with his service, and results would be a gross understatement. In my opinion, you simply cannot go wrong if you avail yourself of his services. He relates to you on a personal level, never rushed, or made to feel that you are just a number. He takes his time, and explains everything in detail. There is a reason that there are so many glowing reviews of Mr. Cooper. He is the one you want on your side.

Thank God I Hired Zachary

I got a DUI after having some wine and foolishly taking Ambien (stupid, I know). I never drink and drive. Getting a DUI was the most embarrassing, devastating thing that has ever happened to this Main Line mom. I thought of going to one of my Lawyer friends...so glad I didn't. Go to a DUI Specialist (I know that sounds like a commercial, but I found out it's true) Zachary Cooper is fantastic. He is kind and compassionate (which I really needed and appreciated). He helped me get through a terrible ordeal. I can't imagine what I might have faced (jail time, etc.) if I hadn't hired him. Thanks so much Zachary!

Wonderful Attorney

I just had a hearing for a speeding ticket that would carry 5 points on my License and Mr. Cooper got it knocked down to no points at all. He is a wonderful attorney and helps you out every step of the way. He answers all your calls promptly and keeps you updated with every move in your case. I would highly recommend him!

Zachs Good

i got a DUI ( 2ND ) and faced other charges, Bad Ones, I called Zach He did His magic, and all i faced was the DUI got me Days house arrest only no jail time. the rest is up to PennDot. as Zach explained.

Posted by anonymous | February 24, 2016

What An Outstanding Lawyer!

I've done my fair share a research while consulting with many lawyers and Zachary Cooper is the best attorney for DUI related charges in central Pennsylvania. I had a serious double DUI case with multiple offenses and Zach was able to get me out of everything. If there is a Loupole, he'll know about it, if you are expecting jail time, severe charges, suspensions, or violations then Zach is the man for you and your cases. Down the road you will not regret it and you'll see why you made the best option to hire this attorney. Zachary Cooper is seriously the definition of a professional lawyer.

Happy Ending

DUI, should everyone survive, is still a life changer whether temporary or permanent. I was relieved to have Zack Cooper in my corner. His support, knowledge of the law and relationship with the court helped me tremendously.

Posted by Mike | February 10, 2016

Outstanding!

When I got the DUI I was in a really bad situation. I had resigned my position with my Philadelphia employer and accepted a new one in Atlanta GA. One week before my move to GA i was charged with DUI and faced a potential 90 day jail sentence. Zachary absolutely went the extra miles needed to get me the best possible outcome just as he promised he would. Over the next 18 months he talked to judges and DA's, he got continuances and delays when I could not make court dates due to the constraints of my newly hired situation. As my wife stood with me at each court appearance Zachary's calmness and confidence always managed to put her in a better state of mind as we headed back home ( I can't thank him enough for that.) Bottom line 3 day's jail vice 90 days. he never gave up. Thank you Zachary.

Incredible job!

Zachary has done an amazing job representing me through my DUI. I was initially very scared and worried, but Zachary explained everything to me, put me at ease, and was there for me at each step. His representation and advice have been fantastic, and I am absolutely confident I have come out of this with the best possible outcome. I will also say that he has been available via cell and email, and has always gotten back to me quickly when I have a question. And he's a really nice guy to work with. I would recommend Zachary to anyone facing a DUI charge.

Review

I made a poor decision about a year and a half ago and needed a lawyer for a DUI/DWI. After researching my case, potential outcomes, what my chances might be - I was terrified --that it would effect my chances at a new job, ultimately my career, jail time, fines and the list continues. I was looking for a good lawyer that would not just take my money but provide honest information. Zachary Cooper not only fulfilled those requirements but returned every phone call and email with every question I had. He didn't sugar coat anything and gave me honest guidance/advice.

Retrospective. Post hearing.

I was concerned about the day in court. I was fully represented prior to the day and I feel comfortable we closed it out in a favorable manner. I left the court room that day with my chin up. I am glad I hired Zachary.

Todd La Neve

Criminal defense Attorney | Jun 20
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Zach Cooper is an outstanding lawyer. I could stop here, but will share briefly why I feel this way. Zach recently helped one of my brother's "in-law" family members who was charged with felony offenses that could have led to prison time and the total ruination of a young life. The case involved a genuine mistaken set of circumstances with no criminal intent present. Through Zach's capable defense, the young man not only avoided the felony charge, but entered a plea to a citation-level offense, paid restitution for same damage that had occurred, and his case was dismissed. Zach came through in a huge way for his client and is committed to doing the same for every one of his other clients. I made a family referral to Zach and have no reservations about saying you could do the same and rest assured that Zach will do all within his power to make a positive difference."
