Attorney Information
Overview
Patrick J. Cooper, Esq. is the founding partner of Cooper Family Law, a premier Philadelphia-based firm specializing in high-stakes family law cases. With over two decades of experience, Patrick leads the firm’s family law practice, handling complex divorce, child custody, child support, property division, and adoption cases throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania.
As a certified divorce mediator in Pennsylvania, Patrick is committed to helping couples navigate divorce through mediation, offering an alternative to litigation that minimizes conflict and fosters cooperative solutions. He brings a calm, solution-oriented approach to all his cases, particularly in high-net-worth divorce cases that involve significant assets such as multiple real estate holdings, business ownership, and complex investment portfolios.
Patrick has consistently achieved favorable outcomes for his clients, including securing decisions in international child custody disputes, advocating for grandparents’ custody rights, and effectively managing sensitive LGBTQ+ family law matters. His legal counsel is rooted in understanding the delicate balance between emotional sensitivity and the need for tough, decisive action when necessary.
In addition to divorce and mediation, Patrick’s extensive experience extends to estate planning, where he works with individuals and families to craft comprehensive strategies that protect assets and legacies. He regularly assists clients in drafting wills and trust agreements to ensure their families’ financial futures are secure.
