I was handling a custody arrangement through the court on my own. Things got somewhat complicated and I needed some help. I was a previous client of Sadek and Cooper for another legal matter and decided to contact Cooper Family Law for help since they did so well with my case. Patrick was extremely helpful, timely and very communicative on my issue. While I did not need to obtain his services on this issue, if needed in the future I will. I wish I would’ve retain their services at the start to help… More me better navigate this court system. Thanks again Patrick!
My experience with Patrick Cooper, Family Law Attorney has been nothing but amazing very professional staff, responsive to all my request and messages and always won my cases when working with these amazing attorneys. I would definitely recommend them for all of your family needs.
Zachary Bartman was an outstanding lawyer and I’m extremely grateful for his representation in my PFA case. He was professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions honestly, fought hard for me in court and completely shut out the opposing council. Thanks to his expertise and confidence, we won the case. I highly recommend Zachary Bartman to anyone who needs a skilled and dependable attorney, especially for PFA… More matters.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Cooper Family Law, particularly with Zachary S. Bartman, for the preparation of a prenuptial agreement. From the initial consultation to the finalization of the prenuptial agreement, Zachary S. Bartman demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. He meticulously explained every aspect of the agreement, ensuring that I understood all the terms and conditions involved and that the agreement was fair and comprehensive. His responsiveness… More was remarkable—he consistently replied to my inquiries in a timely fashion, which greatly contributed to the smooth and efficient process.The entire process with Cooper Family Law was seamless, thanks to Zachary’s diligent efforts. The firm’s organizational skills, combined with Zachary’s expertise, made what could have been a stressful and complicated procedure remarkably straightforward and stress-free.I highly recommend Cooper Family Law and Zachary S. Bartman to anyone in need of legal assistance with prenuptial agreements or any other family law matters.
COVID really slowed down the process, however, Patrick stayed diligent in securing a victory for us. I definitely recommend and will use again if needed!
Mr. Cooper’s “bedside manner” - if you will - is almost avuncular. His mastery of jurisprudence is evident after mere minutes into a conversation.To be succinct: The man is good at what he does.
Zach did a excellent job in handling my pfa case. Zach is very intelligent and sharp as a tac in handling the false accusations made against me. Most importantly you should consider hiring him to help you defend against a pfa because when it's time for him to do his job, he takes control of the court room and gets it done. It doesn't matter what kind of lies you are up against and the new lies that come out during court Zach puts it down thank you for the awesome job. Robert Nimchuk
Cooper Family Law is the best divorce law firm in the Philadelphia area. They handled my complicated divorce with child custody, support, and division of property issues. My attorney and the support staff were excellent. They really took the time to understand my situation, explain the process to me, and helped me approach every decision that I had to make in an educated and practical way. I strongly recommend them to anyone else who needs a divorce lawyer in the Philadelphia area.
I’m a retired US Marine disabled veteran. Unfortunately, my wife and I and going through a divorce. I contacted Patrick and his team for advice , they walked me through the process and acted as a conduit for me with legal terms I didn’t understand. I don’t know much about this whole process but I can attest they were not out for money, they took into consideration our children’s and my spouse’s needs as well as mine. It’s not an easy time , I can say with confidence, they are trying to make as easy… More as possible for all parties. I whole heartedly recommend Patrick’s firm to all especially veterans. Patrick’s firm gives lawyers a GREAT name. God bless.
I hired the firm to draft my prenuptial agreement, including helping me put together my goals and the necessary disclosures. They were informative, efficient and personable but most importantly they kept us on track throughout the process so that we were able to finalize everything well before our wedding.
Zachary helped me through my case. I truly believe it was because of him that I won. He listened to my story and he made sure the truth was heard in trial. He fostered confidence in me during a very anxious time. He was professional, polite, and understood his job very well. He walked me through the entire process before it happened and provided reassurance throughout. I'd recommend him to anyone I know.
Patrick has done an amazing job reuniting our family. Very professional, prompt responses, and leaves no questions unanswered. We are very grateful that Patrick was sent out way, without him, we would not of had our family reunited. Patrick representing our family truly was a blessing. We highly recommend hiring Patrick.
Having to navigate the court system can be an overwhelmingly stressful experience for many individuals. However, by seeking legal representation through Cooper Family Law, these feelings can be greatly reduced. Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to be represented by four different lawyers at this reputable law firm, particularly in cases involving custody, child support, and a personal protection order (PFA). Without exception, my experience with this law firm has been exceptional,… More consistently resulting in positive outcomes. It is with deep gratitude that I write this review not only to express my appreciation for the entire law firm, but also to specifically acknowledge the invaluable contributions of Zachary Bartman. During an incredibly challenging and emotionally charged period, Mr. Bartman provided unwavering support and advocacy for both my daughter and myself. His calm and rational approach allowed him to present the facts and provide wise professional counsel. As a result, I was able to secure full custody of my daughter, a triumph that I had previously only dreamed of achieving. I will forever be indebted to Zach and the entire team at Cooper Family Law for their tireless dedication to my case, ultimately yielding the results that seemed beyond reach. Thank you immensely for your outstanding work.
I am very grateful to have found Patrick and Monique in a difficult time! They were patient, reliable, always available to answer questions and provide recommendations along the way. I felt my interests were important to them and represented at every juncture. The process was smooth and handled so professionally, I never doubted I had experts in my corner.I’d absolutely recommend Cooper Family Law to anyone seeking legal representation!
If you are looking for an incredible team this is it. Patrick and Monique are amazing and have really made a huge impact on my life. I came to them when I was in probably the lowest point of my life and have helped me tremendously. They are always there when you need them and are always prepared. I can't thank them enough for everything. They treat you like family and I wish I could give them more stars. Thank you Patrick and Monique.
My divorce was a long and grueling process. I was very lucky to have somebody like Pat in my corner. Many times he went above and beyond my expectations and helped me through a really difficult time.Pat was readily available for whenever I needed him, which wound up being often. He is a stand-up guy who is knowledgable and experienced. He was ready to go to bat for me at a moments notice when the situation arrived (which wound up being often).Getting divorced is overwhelming, scary, and can make… More you feel like you are on your own. Having a guy like Pat on your side makes it a little bit easier.I highly recommend Pat.

Never a pleasure to be in court, but always a pleasure to work with Cooper Family Law. From the very beginning, they made a challenging situation manageable and provided a level of professionalism and understanding that was both reassuring and empowering. The team is thorough, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about family law, guiding me through each step with patience and clear communication. Zachary Bartman, in particular, was a standout—his dedication and expertise led to a favorable outcome… More in my case, and I felt supported the entire way. If you're looking for a firm that truly has your back, Cooper Family Law is the one.
I highly recommend Sadek and Cooper. They are excellent and caring lawyers . They handled both my divorce and bankruptcy cases and they were very knowledgeable and understanding. They answered all my questions quickly and made me feel very comfortable and at ease every step of the way. I can’t thank them and their staff enough for all they did for me. Please if you want caring, knowledgeable and excellent lawyers Sadek and Cooper is the law firm to call.
When I first realized I needed a lawyer for my custody situation, I simply googled custody law and chose to call Cooper Family Law because I had heard the name before through some advertisement somewhere. My consultation with Zachary Bartman was smooth and reassuring but when I met him in person I noticed he looked super young, and I feared he lacked the experience needed to produce my desired outcome.My ex refused to concede any ground at all, and we were forced to go to a custody trial. When I… More tell you Zachary Bartman completely overwhelmed opposing counsel and made their arguments appear foolish to our trial judge, I am not exaggerating. In fact, I felt foolish for judging a book by its cover. He was able to get me what my family and I had set out for despite a mountain of lies and nonsense impeding us. I now cherish the time I get to spend with my son, and I thank God I picked up the phone to call Cooper Family Law everyday. I will highly recommend Mr. Bartman to anyone in need of one of the best custody lawyers in Philly/Delco/Montco areas, and if I am ever in another pickle I know he’s the guy to get the job done.
Family law matters can be emotionally charged and legally complex, which is why having a skilled lawyer by your side can make all the difference. Whether you’re facing a divorce, dealing with custody issues, or navigating the adoption process, an experienced family law attorney helps you understand your rights, options, and the legal implications of your decisions.
Guidance and Clarity: Family law can be overwhelming, especially when emotions run high. A lawyer provides clarity, explaining the legal process and helping you understand the steps involved in your case.
Protecting Your Rights: An attorney ensures your legal rights are protected throughout your case. Whether it’s ensuring a fair division of assets in divorce or securing appropriate custody arrangements for your children, a lawyer advocates for your best interests.
Negotiation and Mediation: Often, family law cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation rather than lengthy court battles. A lawyer can help facilitate peaceful, fair resolutions that minimize conflict and preserve relationships.
Representation in Court: In some cases, litigation is necessary. An attorney represents you in family court, presenting your case and fighting for your rights in front of a judge.
Emotional Support: A good family lawyer not only offers legal advice but also provides compassionate support during a difficult time, guiding you through the emotional challenges that come with family-related legal issues.
No matter what stage of family life you’re in, having an experienced lawyer on your side can bring peace of mind and ensure that your case is handled efficiently and effectively.
