Company Recovers $700,000 Due to its Attorneys' Negligence
After the judge in the underlying commercial litigation concluded that the defendant company had wrongfully denied the plaintiff manufacturer its share of the profits on technologies that were jointly developed, as a result of which he erroneously awarded the plaintiff a percentage of the gross, rather than net, profits, on those technologies (which was clearly contrary to the law), the defendants' lawyers negligently failed to file an appeal of the judge's order, costing the company several hundred thousand dollars.
Awarded: $700,000

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.
