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.

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.

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 Immigrant  v.  Doe Attorney

Cooper Elliott achieved a critical admission from 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.  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."
