Meet Us
Stephanie R. Cooper
Attorney at Law
Stephanie R. Cooper has a unique and unconventional employment background that led her to establish our firm in 2001. Throughout the years she has worn many different hats, including those of a concert pianist, a struggling single mother and successful business owner and a published author. These varied experiences have given her a unique combination of skills that so many attorneys in Manhattan lack: the ability to face a problem head-on, to learn what's necessary for success in order to devise and execute effective strategies tailored to each unique situation.

Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Interpersonal relationships are complicated. Whether you're concerned about your intellectual property being used or misused when you leave a job or fear you'll lose valuable concepts as a result of a divorce, our attorney can help. Entering and exiting any sort of formal relationship poses an inherent risk, but careful planning will help provide your intellectual property with the long-term protection you need to feel secure. Our attorney can help you negotiate the terms of an employment contract or navigate more emotional divorce and child custody cases based on your needs.
Ultimately, our firm focuses on helping our clients establish their personal goals and works to help them take the legal steps necessary to meet them. We understand the realities of living in New York City. Our clients value their time and money, and we work to help them use both to their advantage. We know that even the most emotionally charged and contested divorce cases can be settled outside of court, and our team is willing to put in the work to help our clients strive for a favorable judgment.
