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.
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.
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!
Although Patrick was ultimately unable to take my case due to prior contact from the other party, he still took the time to speak with me and explain the situation with clarity and professionalism. I appreciated his honesty and integrity, as well as the thoughtful guidance he offered during a difficult moment. It’s rare to encounter someone so straightforward and respectful, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking knowledgeable and ethical legal counsel.
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 can’t thank Pat and his staff enough for the help they provided my family during an incredibly trying time. He took the time to listen and assess the situation, make thoughtful recommendations, and be a constant resource so we achieved our goal of a fair and equitable outcome. One of the best in PA!
I had an extremely great experience with Zachary Bartman! I can’t thank him enough for the help he provided me with during an incredibly difficult time. I contacted the bar association, and he reached out to me first within that same day. He took the time to listen to me and assess the situation. Although it took time to detain him due to unfortunate events. That initial contact from him stuck with me! He led with confidence, empathy and compassion. I felt safe, heard, understood and supported all… More in a short phone call. When I was ready to start my legal journey; I called him back and he and his assistant Anna (I believe) met me with so much patience and grace. My custody and Divorce matter was a challenging situation, but he made it manageable and provided me with a phenomenal level of professionalism and understanding that made me feel ready, empowered and reassured. I was overwhelmed emotionally, and I have been bullied for years and tried to avoid the courts. I needed counsel at this point; I wanted fairness and what was best for my children. He walked me through the entire process before it happened; we talked, I cried, he listened to my story sincerely, we laughed at my thoughts/ jokes lol I felt supported the entire way! He made me proud the way he stepped up and handled the room. I will highly recommend Mr. Bartman to anyone in need of one of the best Divorce & custody lawyers! Cooper Family Law, you have a gem! Thank you!
Excellent service overall. Patrick always provided me with great advise and delivered the resolution of my divorce case. Responsive to all my inquiries p and timely follow up with developments in the case. To top it all, I got superior value. I will remain most thankful for his representation.
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.
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!
I am grateful to have Patrick Cooper as my family lawyer. Patrick Cooper and his team was the highly competent, engaging, and accessible legal professionals that I needed to guide me through very complex legal matters that I was unfamiliar with. Attorney Cooper is not only well-informed, but also easy to talk to, takes the time needed to interpret the law and advise on options, cares about outcomes, and is affordable. I highly recommend the Cooper Family Law firm without any hesitation.
Hands down the best lawyer in town!!! He is very organized, professional and well equipped to help anyone navigate the Family court system. Top tier Lawyer with five star ratings you will not be disappointed. He is worth every single penny!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
I can't say enough how glad I am to have decided to use Yoninah Orenstein as the lawyer representing me in my struggle to get some custody of my daughter back.She helped keep me on track, and focused on the bigger picture. She knew the ins and outs of the subtleties of custody law quite well, and she navigated the complex system and settlement prior to the trial with strength and purpose.Having her by my side gave me courage and resiliency. I wouldn't want anyone else as my representation.Unfortunately… More I know I will need to have a good lawyer for the rest of my life from time to time. Fortunately I now know who I'll turn to first.
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
Pat Cooper has the experience, expertise and communication skills that deliver favorable results. Pat's familiarity with Philadelphia's courts and judges proved invaluable.
I am beyond grateful for the exceptional representation I received from attorney Zachary throughout my long and challenging custody case. This process has taken years prior to Cooper Law Firm and has been incredibly difficult—emotionally, mentally, and physically—for both me and my son. From the very beginning, Zach approached my case with compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what was best for my child’s wellbeing.As a young mother, I often felt dismissed or misunderstood… More before finding Cooper Law Firm. He was the first attorney who truly listened, believed in me, and validated what I was experiencing. He never made me feel irrational or unheard. Instead, he helped me feel grounded and supported through every step of the process.Zach’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for my son’s mental and physical health were evident in everything he did. He consistently fought for what was right and made sure my son’s best interests were always the top priority.Thanks to Zach’s expertise and persistence, my son and I finally have the stability and peace we’ve been working toward for years. I cannot recommend Zach and his firm highly enough to anyone facing a difficult custody matter. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment truly set them apart.
Zach is the guy that knows what he is doing. The system might appear to not be on your side at the beginning of your litigation, but Zach not only builds your case squarely but he also brings the law to your side with equity and fairness.You cannot be wrong with him. Thank you
Pat is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney. Handles cases with professionalism and care, ensuring the best outcomes for his clients. Highly recommend!
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.
