Not who or what she claims to be

Do not waste your time or money. No bad feedback? All of her reviews are very general with John Doe names, do not be fooled. I hired this lawyer and never got anything not even a reciept for what she "says" she did. Never went to court, hard to get in touch with, claims she can never find files and i...s never available to meet. However, before I payed her she returned any and every message promptly. She is also a sports agent and that is what she cares about and only about. I have been trying to get my money back for over a year now. Please I ask you to think twice before making the same mistake that I made. Good luck.

Any of my clients will advise you that I am accessible and responsive and that I will go to great lengths to obtain the best result for my clients. This criminal client lost his job after I had been working on his case for some time and became very upset as I would not return his retainer which had been earned long before his request per my retainer agreement. This was after I had worked diligently on his criminal case without ever receiving the full retainer, giving him a discounted rate, and allowing him to make payment installments. He threatened me and my career and indicated that he would do whatever is necessary to try to ruin my career. Although I completed the services for which I had been retained and even offered to try to return a portion of his retainer as a compromise and a matter of "client satisfaction", this disgruntled client refused and said that he would only be happy with the return of the full retainer. If you will notice in his review he never indicates that I did not do what I was paid to do or that he did not have a favorable result. In fact, I was able to get his probation terminated which had kept him from obtaining employment. I have been practicing law for 15 years and have always made my clients issues my priority as I know how important careful handling of their cases may be. Please take the time to read the rest of my reviews over the years. I am also glad to provide a number of client references upon request. Although I enjoy the sports agency part of my practice, my criminal clients come first as often their liberty and livelihoods are at stake. This gentlemen is truly an example of the old adage "No good deed goes unpunished."

Excellent Representation

Mrs. Cope is a great legal representation to have. She is very professional and knowledgeable of the law. Mrs. Cope was like a big sister to me and she helped me understand my case and the consequences involved. She worked really hard with the prosecutor and judge to get my charges dismissed. She was... always there for me when I needed assistance and she treated me with respect. I have the upmost respect for Mrs. Cope and I thank her for her help. I would recommend Mrs. Cope without a doubt.

Excellent Lawyer

I first met with Veronica in 2011 when I received 4 traffic citations on two separate occasions in the same week. Veronica had already been my father's attorney for years and I definitely knew why. She came to court with me very well prepared and kept me informed through out the entire process. Even ...before we entered the court room, she outlined all my options and told me what she thought was the best course of action. She came with me to court even though there was multiple appearances at different courts. The tickets included super speeding (going 100 mph in a 65 mph zone) , turning right at a red light, using a cellular device while driving (was under the age of 18 at the time), and another speeding ticket going 17 mph over. If I had gone to court without Veronica for any of these tickets, there is no doubt in my mind that my license would be suspended. She was able to make it so that nothing went on my record, and some of the tickets were even dismissed. Early in 2014, I got into some trouble as well and was issued two citations; one for reckless driving and the other for aggressive driving. She was able to get my tickets dismissed, and I had to attend a few classes and pay a fine. My father also has had only great experiences working with Veronica and we will continue to have her as our lawyer. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them, because she will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.

Ambitions and Honest

Veronic is excellent at what she does. She is affordable and trustworthy. The Cope lawfirm is on point and reliable they will not stop until the job is done. I had a case in Dekalb County from 2008 and hired the law firm to represent me. Ms.Cope had all fine and tickets reduced. And paid on Septembe...r 2, 2014 i was arrested for the same offence that had already been taking care of. I called Ms. Cope 2 years later told her that wad wrongfully incarcerated and she work night and day to get me released The Cope Law Frim I will always hire.

Excellent Representation for Traffic Citations

I received dual traffic citations for 'driving on the wrong side of the road' and 'reckless driving.' Mrs. Cope had a good strategy prepared in the event of a trial, but due to her good instinct and determination, she was able to get my case dismissed. She is very familiar with the processes and prof...essionals associated with the DeKalb County Recorders Court, and I highly recommend her for representation involving traffic citations.
