An AMAZING Lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Veronica is the ONLY lawyer I would trust with my life!!!!!!!!! She's very informative, very professional, she's honest, she goes over and beyond for you, she communicates with you every step of the way so you'll know what's going on. I've hired Veronica on 2 separate occasions and if I ever need a l...awyer I would hire her again. I LOVE her!!!!!!!! She works even when you don't think she is. She resolved my case during a pandemic while I was in another state the whole time. She's AMAZING!!!!!!! As a person and a lawyer!!! She treats every case as if you're her only case, you may reach out to her at anytime with questions and she'll answer them for you, she's easy to talk to and she's honest with you about your results. Again Veronica thank you for being an AMAZING lawyer!!!!!!!!!

Attorney Misconduct (Over billing, Unethical, client abandonment)

I hired Atty Cope earlier this year for a case in Gwinnett County. She was initially open and available once I paid my retainer. Due to being able to resolve the case resolution without an attorney I ended our client-attorney arrangement. Because the arrangement was so brief I inquired about getting ...part of my retainer back. She agreed only after telling me that there is a mandatory "35 Day waiting period" After weeks and weeks of non communication she never returned it to me. I called her office repeatedly, texts, Facebook, she just refused to talk to me. Will be reporting her to the Georgia Bar to file a complaint. I do not recommend Attorney Veronica Cope. civil case in Gwinnett county. She was initially open and available once I paid my retainer.

Replied last November 24, 2018

This client was charged with theft by taking and assault. Since he was a doctor charged with a felony, I wanted to act very quickly to minimize any effect these charges might have had on his practice. I quickly got him into a program which would ensure that these charges were dismissed and his record would be restricted (charges removed from his record). Because of my quick action, the client got into the program and never even had to go to court. Although I provided the services agreed upon, the client thought he should receive part of his retainer back although it was a fixed fee arrangement and he was not due a refund of his retainer. For customer satisfaction, I ultimately refunded a portion of his money back although he was not entitled to any money back. This is truly an example of “no good deed goes unpunished.”

Professional and Knowledgeable

Ms. Cope was contacted on Friday for a DUI case to be held on Tuesday. She responded the very same day I called her office and did my initial consultation and kept in touch with me over the weekend. When I met her, she was very professional and knowledgeable as she explained to me what was in my best... interest. She was able to negotiate my charge of DUI to reckless driving so I would not lose my drivers license. I highly recommend Ms. Cope to help you in your time of need. Give her a call.

THE BEST!

Veronica Cope is an outstanding lawyer. One of the best I have met in recent memory. She took my case and dealt with it like a pro. In less than one week that I engaged her services, she delivered on a platter of gold and case was dismissed. She is not just an excellent lawyer, she is a true professi...onal who understand the needs of her clients. Even when I couldn't afford her, she worked with me to rekindle my hopes, and put a new laughter on my face. Trust me, Veronica Cope is a lawyer of choice. I highly recommend her to anyone who loves winning.
