One of our areas of concentration is substantive motion and appellate practice. Recognizing that many firms that lack the time or resources to draft their own substantive motions and appeals, we work together with those firms to maintain their unique relationship with their clients, maintaining the confidentiality of our role in drafting the court papers.

Over the last ten years, Mr. Cooper has briefed issues in both the State and Federal Courts on issues ranging from expert qualifications, judicial recusal, and expert preclusion to an expert's competence, res ipsa loquitur, insurers' bad faith and improper jury charges and has lectured on the procedural aspects of motion practice in the State courts. Indeed, the Appellate Division, Third Department's decision regarding expert preclusion was published on the front page of the New York Law Journal in January, 2003. We encourage you to view a sampling of our recent decisions of interest, a list of which is provided below.
