Hired Attorney M. Devlin Cooper

Absolutely horrible. First interview was hopeful then wanted more money (retainer was $5000 then further work was 10,000). This was a simple case (right to repair case). In addition when the opposing attorney called Mr cooper to set up an appointment Mr cooper did not return calls. And therefore I had to go to arbitration. Mr cooper fits the stereotype of the money hungry attorney. I would not recommend him. And in fact would like to warn others of his shifty ethics.
