Man on a mission to help people

After almost 20 years trying to get help with getting my license, I hired Mr. Cooper. Best decision I ever made. This man went out of his way to help me and guided me through each process. I finally found someone who was competent and who genuinely cared and wanted to help. I now have my licen...se and no longer feel the hopelessness I have felt for so many years. Mr. Cooper, you are truly the most competent and compassionate professional I have ever had. You are an excellent attorney and words cannot even describe how grateful I am. I hit the jackpot. Thank you so much for everything you did for me and all of your hard work! Excellent Attorney.

Hope where there is none

Meeting Jonathan Cooper literally saved my life. Mr. Cooper was not just knowledgeable about my situation and the possible outcome, but he was honest and kind in handling the delicacies. He had the ability to know what i needed when I did not know for myself and guided me step by step on how to not ...just get the best outcome for my case, but to better myself and my life in general. As a result of his services, I am a stronger person today who lives a life I can be proud of. As for the outcome of my case specifically, he was vigilant and persistent in my getting an outcome that was appropriate for my situation. Honestly, he worked a miracle for me and I am forever grateful for that. I would recommend his services to anyone who feels as if they have a hopeless situation ahead, because he creates hope through his abilities as an attorney.

Great experience!

Even though this was just a free consult, Mr. Cooper took his time, was very personable and made certain I was taken care of. It didn't feel rushed or like he was trying to "sell" me. Overall, it was a great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my close friends and family. That says al...ot!

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.
