"Divorce and custody cases are some of the most emotionally driven cases for our clients, but working together, we strive to make this process less stressful for both you and your family, no matter what brings you to our office."

In 2007, his brother Andrew Cooper joined Larry in his law practice and the firm became known as Cooper & Cooper, Attorneys at Law, LLC.
