Posted by Shawn | April 3, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Chip is the Best

When we needed to hire a firm to represent us we immediately contacted Cooper & Elliott. Chip has successfully defended us in complex litigation and we couldn't be happier.

Posted by Dawn | September 14, 2015 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

First meeting

We met with Mr. Cooper and discussed our options. He was very compassionate and professional. My husband and I really appreciated his honesty. If he feels that we have a case we would definitely hire him to represent us.

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.
