Testimonials
- Jonathan is a terrific lawyer and a great person ... I have found him to be extremely knowledgable and a zealous and effective advocate for his clients.
- Jonathan defended us against a lawsuit relating to a non-compete. He was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I hope to never get sued again but if I do, I would call Jonathan before anyone else.
- Jonathan Cooper's articles eclipsed all others in terms of content, readability and, most of all, they were very specific about New York's breach of contract laws.
- Jonathan provided the expert advice I needed to feel comfortable with a litigation involving my former company regarding a non-compete.
