We are deeply gratified by your words of appreciation

November 21, 2010

Dear Billy,

This is truly a season of thanks for me. I want to express my great appreciation to you and your associate for all your work on my behalf, representing me following my accident on December 24, 2008. As the second anniversary nears, I am reminded of my pain and fear but I am also grateful for my stellar recovery and for those who helped ease it along.

From the time I met you in the hospital I felt I could put my trust in you, could rely on you and thus a terrible burden was lifted from my shoulders enabling me to fully concentrate on my recovery.

The settlement was more than I ever imagined and for that I am so grateful to you. I am now able to live a more financially stable life, one with more possibilities. I know that, in your words, “sometimes out of a very bad thing, can come a very good thing.”

Whatever befalls us in life, with the bad and the good, becomes a part of us and you are definitely a part of the good!

Be well and happy holidays to you and your families. .

Dear Billy,

I was fortunate that my friend referred me to you as my lawyer to take on my personal injury case. Naturally, I was eager to see how you would perform in this capacity.

My preliminary and post interviews with you resulted in a positive experience for me. Later, I witnessed you in action through how you took command of my case at hand.

I saw your organizational skills rise to the surface. You guided me through the step-by-step procedures to follow. Next, I learned how successful you were in negotiating for a fair and just settlement. And finally, the favorable outcome of a win/win situation due to your knowledge, abilities, and skills that were forthcoming.

I thank you for your faith in me and for all you did to bring about a final closure to my personal injury case.

In gratitude and appreciation,

1) What is the philosophy of the office of Marvin A. Cooper, P.C.?

The most important person in our office is YOU - the client. Each and every person in our office is treated with respect, as if they were a family member. With this attitude and philosophy we can assure our clients that we are doing the very best for them. We take a case and work on it to maximize the monetary recovery for our client. Our office will make a difficult situation as pleasant as possible.

2) Do I work directly with an attorney at all times?

Yes, 100% of the time. Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., with 50 years of trial experience, can provide you with a professional attorney at all times. You always know who is handling your case and that 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.

3) How does the attorney's fee work?

Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., has 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 a fair compensation and shows respect for our clients.

4) 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 fifty 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.

5) Will Marvin A. Cooper, P.C. skillfully get the best result possible? Better than other law offices?

The stellar reputation of our law firm, our vast trial experience, our 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 maximum recovery that our clients are entitled to receive under the law.
