Barry K. July 10, 2024

I highly recommend Jim Cooper's firm We had a contested claim against a restaurant and personal guarantors in Portsmouth, VA. Jim and his staf did a great job in communicating both before and after a hearing I attended and the collection case has now settled for a lump sum that I consider a favorable result. I will use Jim's firm again and recommend Jim to anyone I talk to that has a collection issue in Virginia. Barry Kotzen Rsik and Collection Manager Quikstone Capital Solutions

Jim is a fantastic attorney. I have the privilege to work with Jim for a few years now and I can say without a doubt he and his team are my favorite to work with. I receive detailed updates on my files in a timely and efficient manner. When I have a question regarding a file or even a potential file, Jim is quick to give me a detailed response covering all aspects of my question. More importantly he is honest, he doesn't tell me what I want to hear but tells me what I need to hear. I highly recommend utilizing Jim and his firm for any future needs.
