PRACTICE AREAS
* Labor & Employment Law: this area of the law encompasses a wide variety of issues like Pension Plans, Retirement, Occupational Safety & Health Regulations, Affirmative Action and Sexual Harassment. Employment lawyers help protect workers when their rights are being violated. Often an employment lawyer will concentrate on representing either workers or employers. Mr. Cooper's concentration is on workers' rights.
* Discrimination: the area of the law dealing with unfair or unequal treatment of a person or persons based upon their belonging to a protected class.
* Personal Injury & Torts: the area of the law which involves civil cases designed to obtain compensation for injury to your person. The personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to trial. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability. Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the attorney must establish negligence. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be negligence. Once liability and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as for pain and suffering.
* Workers' Compensation Law: law which focuses on the remedies and compensation for injury to an employee arising out of and in the course of employment that is paid to the worker or dependents by an employer whose strict liability for such compensation is established by statute.
* Criminal Law: public law that deals with crimes and their prosecution. This area of the law is usually governed by statute or ordinance.
