Accused of defamation by a scam building contractor company after posting a review of their fraudulent practices

Curtis Cooper exemplified thorough organizational skills, a thoughtful strategic approach, and comprehensive attention to the details which were crucial in successfully arguing and winning this case. As I watched and listened to Mr. Cooper argue the case in court, I realized how seriously he embod...ied the attorney’s oath to ‘zealously and diligently defend clients within the bounds of the law.’ His legal knowledge and skills, as well as his integrity and honesty in relating to and defending his clients according to the facts and the law, are consummate. I realized if I had not had Mr. Cooper as my counsel this large financially secure and prosperous company was attempting to intimidate me (a single inconsequential customer to them) into paying over $30,000 to them for their claim of ‘defamation’ after I filed a small claim asking only for the return of my $2450 deposit. As a result of Mr. Cooper filing an anti-Slapp motion and other related counterclaims, the company first lowered their request for damages from a $30,000 to $10,000 payment and then ultimately dropped that claim. The judge awarded me the return of my deposit of $2450 plus $3000 for damages, and $118 for court costs. The judge awarded well-deserved attorney’s fees of $12,000 to Mr. Cooper. If you are interested in learning further information regarding this case, I have no problem with complete publication of the details of this case and/or verification of any and all information I am able to personally provide. Feel free to contact me at 717-476-9787.

Unshakeable and Creative

Curtis Cooper helped me wrap up my divorce masterfully. I accomplished a lot of work on my own but as we got closer to the court date, it was clear that I needed help – big time. On short notice, Curtis thoughtfully prepared a rock-solid argument and was able to protect my interests better than I cou...ld have ever imagined. He spent hours getting to know me and the intricate details of my case, and I feel that he truly cares about his clients. Curtis has an uncanny ability to read people, and was able to code-switch depending on my ex-spouse’s state of mind, making it much easier to get a positive outcome. He is confident, knowledgeable, and relentless when it comes to the needs of his clients. I am forever grateful for Curtis Cooper, and if I ever have the need for an attorney again, he will be my first call.

Mrs Hollee Patterson

I applied for Social Security Disability and I had previous representation but my case was getting nowhere so I consulted Mr. Cooper to find out what options were available to me. After the consultation, I hired Mr. Copper to represent me and soon he had my case moving through the courts. Mr. Cooper... is professional and he is a nice person. I did receive the justice that I deserved and I am very happy with his services.

Extremely Helpful Attorney

Mr. Cooper was great! He is very helpful and understanding, which helped calm my anxiety about the situation I was facing. What made me really happy to work with him is that he was personable and personal. He would contact me himself, not an assistant, even on the weekends. I felt very confident t...hat he was representing me in the best manner possible. I would definitely use his services again, if ever needed.
