A trusted advisor through a complex business dispute

Our family-owned business faced a significant contract dispute with a former partner, and we turned to Glenn Cooper at Lerch, Early & Brewer. His 52 years of experience were immediately apparent. He guided us through the intricacies of commercial litigation with a steady hand, explaining our options clearly without resorting to unnecessary legalese. His deep knowledge of Maryland state courts was invaluable, and his recognition in both commercial litigation and family law proved surprisingly relevant, as the dispute had personal dimensions. While his billing rates reflect his senior status and expertise, the value was there. On occasion, response times from his team could lag, but Mr. Cooper himself was always thoroughly prepared and commanding in meetings. We achieved a favorable settlement that protected our business, largely due to his strategic counsel. He is a formidable and wise attorney who inspires confidence.
