Do I work directly with an attorney at all times?
100% of the time. Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., believes that you are entitled to work with a professional attorney at all times. You always know who is handling your case and that the same individual will work with you throughout the course of your representation. William Cooper makes himself available to you so that you can always have access to the experience that only an attorney can provide.

How does the attorney's fee work?
We have always worked on a "contingency" fee basis. In simple terms, our clients do not pay anything unless and until they get a recovery of money. Only at that time are the clients charged the out-of-pocket expenses (off of the top so that both the client and our firm pay for the expenses together) and then a one-third fee on all negligence cases. Despite other firms now charging upwards of 40% and 50%, our office believes that one-third is adequate compensation and shows respect for our clients.

Who decides whether a case should be settled?
It is always the decision of the client to accept or reject a settlement. We have found that our legal advice - based on over forty-five years of experience - properly guides the client in making the decision to settle a case. However, the ultimate decision is always that of the client.

Will Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., get the best result possible? Better than other law offices?
The stellar reputation of our law firm, our vast trial experience, the willingness to fight for our clients, and the ability to take a case to trial, all adds up to a firm that will get the absolute maximum that our clients are entitled to receive under the law.
