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!
