What Makes Us Different

We have a reputation for taking the most serious, complex, and important cases. Our firm doesn’t just handle the most challenging cases; we embrace them. These are the cases that other lawyers have declined due to their complexity, high stakes, or daunting odds. And when a settlement is out of reach, we’re always prepared to fight.

Our Pursuit Is Relentless

Complex litigation demands great effort and persistence. At Cooper Elliott, we promise to
pursue your case tirelessly. Here’s what you can expect:

Checkmark Icon

Initial conversation

We gather important information, discuss your goals, and share our process.

Checkmark Icon

Evaluation

As we collect information, including records and witness statements, we assess the strengths and weaknesses of all possible claims and defenses and whether pre-suit settlement is feasible.

Checkmark Icon

Filing the lawsuit

This starts the formal litigation process. Prior to filing, we strategize as a team and collaborate with you to determine a path that we believe will best accomplish your goals.

Checkmark Icon

Exchange of information

This is called the discovery phase and includes exchanging documents and obtaining testimony under oath from witnesses and experts.

Checkmark Icon

Mediation

After sufficient information has been obtained, many times the parties will attempt to resolve the case by using a neutral person to help bring the sides together.

Checkmark Icon

Trial

Many firms avoid court; we embrace it. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we don’t hesitate to fight. We are prepared to take your case to a jury, secure the verdict you deserve, and push for changes in the law to prevent future harm.

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Cooper Elliott. From day one, Sean Alto and his team were not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate. They truly understood what I was going through and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Their patience, empathy, and dedication made the entire legal process easy and stress-free, so I could focus on my recovery. Thanks to their hard work, I received the compensation I needed to move forward with my life. I highly recommend Cooper Elliott to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer.

I cannot recommend Cooper Elliot enough.

I was involved in a serious car accident after just having welcoming our new son into the world.

When you are at your lowest, you remember with great detail how people treat you. Sean and his team treated me and my family with nothing but compassion, grace and care.

The stress, anxiety, and fear were only mitigated by the EXTRAORDINARY passion, care, and speed this firm operates at.

A huge thank you to Sean Alto with his incredible professionalism. I never once felt that Sean and the team at Cooper Elliot had anything other than my best interest.

Thank you Cooper Elliot for being a light during a very challenging time.

I just closed out a case with Bart Keyes, and it was a long, but very good experience. Kim Cecil was fantastic in getting me the things that I needed to do so we could present a strong case. This was my first time ever doing something like this, and Bart's guidance was flawless. He kept me calm during the mediation process and answered all of my questions. We were on the same page, and he represented everything I needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Bart and this firm to anyone who needs representation! Thank you Bart and Kim!

Cooper Elliott is a top notch law firm that settled my daughter’s accident. The first time we met in person, Sean Alto came to meet us in my daughter’s hospital room. He has a warm demeanor, and a nice conversational tone. Throughout our discussion and setting expectations, we knew we could trust him. His approach is kind and thoughtful and he has a lot of previous experience that aided to understanding the steps our case would take. It took approximately 6 months to settle our case. We worked closely with Michael Tonovitz for catch-ups and questions. He and Kimberly Burroughs helped a great deal with explanations, patience and humanity. I couldn’t recommend a better law firm for any case more than Cooper Elliott.

Rex Elliott at Cooper Elliott is truly exceptional. He was the perfect balance of empathy and toughness—understanding my issue deeply while giving me unwavering confidence throughout the entire process. One of the things I appreciated most was how easy he was to reach and communicate with, always making me feel heard and supported. Thanks to his expertise, we had a resolution within just three days and received everything we asked for. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. Rex is simply the best! Highly recommend!
