John L. Cooley

A Trusted Advocate in a Complex Personal Injury Case

When my small business was named as a defendant in a significant personal injury lawsuit, the stress was overwhelming. The allegations were serious, and the potential financial impact was daunting. I needed an attorney who was not only a skilled litigator but also understood the intricacies of defending such claims. John L. Cooley and his team at Cooley and Associates were exactly that. With over thirteen years of dedicated practice in personal injury litigation, specifically on the defense side, Mr. Cooley brought a calm, strategic perspective from our very first meeting. His deep knowledge of Virginia law and procedural nuances was immediately evident. He meticulously investigated the incident, managed all communications with precision, and developed a defense that was both thorough and pragmatic. His recognition in legal circles, including for his work in tax law, speaks to the breadth of his analytical skill, which he applied seamlessly to our case. The result was a favorable settlement that protected my business's future without the risk of a trial. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Cooley was accessible, transparent, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. I cannot recommend his expertise highly enough.
