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.
Patrick and his team are simply the best. Experienced, sharp, empathetic, honest, and offer much needed guidance for families through difficult times. I highly recommend this firm if you have any family law related needs.
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.
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!
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 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.

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.
Cooper family law took care of me so well through all of my legal issues. From complex situation and context building about my individual scenario, to a favorable outcome and fair agreement. I couldn’t recommend them enough. While all the attorneys at their firm are fantastic, Sarah T handled my case with care and attention to detail unmatched by anyone else!!!
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 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.
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.
Patrick is excellent at what he does. He is concise, thorough, and more importantly, I valued his insight and judgement. I feel fortunate that I was connected to Patrick for my divorce. The quality of his services was impeccable and I was impressed with his counsel throughout the process.
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!
5 stars isn't enough to recognize Zach Bartman's dedication, work ethic and thoroughness. Right from the first consult when we very bluntly/honestly indicated the approach we were looking to take to have as permanent of a legal ruling as is possible in an overstretched Philadelphia Family Court, Zach responded with clear strategy approaches and answered every question with patience and kindness. What really speaks to his expertise is that it took a mere TWO very effective court dates to… More achieve results deeply important to our family's well-being that no former counsel even bothered fighting for. Zach is worth his experience, kindness and legal approach to family law matters if you're considering moving forward with him as your attorney. He's able to be pragmatic and solutions-focused with humour. I can't speak highly enough of him.
It was a smooth experience with this lawyer. She was very nice and polite. She did everything to make the divorce easy and smooth so I will appreciate anybody that want to use her in divorce to go ahead and have that confidence in this lawyer OK thank you guys. God bless.
Carol Krawitz Verlin of Cooper Family Law handled my case with the utmost care. She was very thorough and her proposal was accepted immediately without question or hesitation by the opposing party. After pouring through several years of court documentation, she was able to close the case in an expeditious manner. I would utilize the services of Cooper Family Law again.
