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.
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.
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.
Excellence experience I would highly recommend Yoninah to anyone seeking an excellence attorney. She was very efficient meeting my premarital legal needs and she got the job done within 5 days. Yoninah was very accessible , diligent and dependable and has proven to exceed my expectations. Yes, I would recommend her to my family and friends.Mrs Jones
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!
I've retained this firm for a total of 3 separate family court proceedings. Zachary Bartman has been my representing attorney for all 3 cases and he has been phenomenal. All cases have turned out in my favor. I would highly recommend Zachary Bartman for any family/domestic court related issues.
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 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.
My child custody case has been difficult from day one. I was previously represented by a lawyer who was not straightforward with me about the process and did not explain my options clearly. Working with the Cooper Family Law team was so much better. Like night and day. Patrick and his team were friendly and helpful from the beginning. Everyone that I worked with on the team was really sharp and also kind. They guided me through a very difficult time. They are the best child custody lawyers in the… More Philly area!
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.
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.
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.
I was given last minute notice that I had to appear in court for a legal matter. I had one day to find representation and when I called Cooper Family Law, they took the time to listen to me and responded swiftly. Mr. Zachary Bartman contacted me to discuss the case and assured me that he would meet me in court the following day. Mr. Bartman exceeded my expectations in every way when it came to handling my case. He addressed any questions or concerns that I may have had. While I hated having to be… More in court, Mr. Bartman helped to make it more bearable for me. I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Bartman and this firm. In the end we got the desired outcome and I don’t believe it would have been possible without him. I am extremely appreciative for your help throughout this process, Zachary. I would 100 percent recommend this firm and if the need arises in the future, I will have them represent me. If you find yourself reading my review, please understand that I hate leaving reviews so that should speak to the level of professionalism that Zachary displayed. Don’t hesitate to contact Cooper Family Law if you need assistance.
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.
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.
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’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 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.
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.
Patrick Cooper was my attorney for my child custody and support cases. He was fantastic, he helped me through every step and had a great strategy of what we needed to present my side. I would recommend him to anyone that is going through these types of cases, he is very thorough, keeps contact with you throughout the process which could be long in these times and definitely made me feel well represented in court. I can’t thank him enough!!
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.
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.
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.
