Sometimes success is more than money.
At Cooper Elliott our job is to achieve your vision of justice. Sometimes that means obtaining non-monetary changes or outcomes that juries and judge cannot provide. Here are a few recent examples of what our clients asked us to achieve:
Doe Families v. Local School District
Cooper Elliott achieved a settlement that included significant rule changes in a school district.
Entine v. Lissner
Cooper Elliott obtained an injunction in favor of a student who was improperly prevented from having a service animal in her sorority house.
Doe Family v. Local Hospital
Cooper Elliott achieved a settlement that included discussions of changes to a hospital's policies. The judge in the case said that, in her experience, this was meaningful but rare: "I heard Mr. Cooper talk about the OSU policies ... And I hope that truly is part of your agreement or understanding ... that doesn’t happen all the time ... This Court’s experience, in cases that I’ve presided over similarly, we don’t often get that piece, where the other person involved, the defendant or the representative, is willing to engage in those sort of changes ... I hope that that does happen for you."
Doe Immigrant v. Doe Attorney
Cooper Elliott achieved a critical admission from an attorney that allowed the family to return to the U.S. and not be subject to a 10-year bar from the United States.
Doe Family v. ABC Companies
Cooper Elliott obtained an agreement for safety devices to be periodically checked, with written certification of compliance to be provided to the family.
Doe Family v. Doe Apartment Complex
Cooper Elliott required the defendant to install safety devices in all units that would have prevented the injury that caused the death of the family's son and make a public service announcement regarding the importance of the safety device.

Excellent firm i am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process
I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience... in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.read more

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years... ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!read more

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly... cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.read more
