Job Well Done

I had gone to several attorneys who would not take my case before I met with Mr. Coogan. I explained my situation and the fact others wouldn’t even see me in person. I’ll never forget when he told me “everyone deserves to be represented” I knew then he was going to go to bat for me and he hit a... home run! When I thought we wouldn’t prevail Mr. Coogan never gave up on me or my case. He held his ground and in the end we did indeed prevail! I can’t say enough about the job Mr. Coogan did on my behalf but beyond that when we first met and he told me “everyone deserves to be represented” spoke volumes about his depth of character. That’s something you don’t learn in law school…character!

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.
