I’m so grateful for the team at Cooper Hurley! They really went above and beyond to make a terrible time as comfortable as it could be and took time to check on me regularly and make sure I was getting the help I needed to heal from my accident. During our mediation process, I felt understood by my lawyers and was impressed with how John Cooper stuck up for me. Thank you, John, Bailey, and Jenny! I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for help with compensation after an accident.
