Overview:
Marvin A. Cooper’s long and distinguished legal career spanned nearly fifty years. Marvin’s ability as a trial attorney and a legal advocate were exceeded only by his qualities as a human being – he was one of the most caring, passionate and talented trial attorneys that the State of New York has ever witnessed. Marvin’s career started as staff counsel for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company where he learned the “ins and outs” of the legal profession from the defense side of the bar. Representing insurance carriers over the years has served as an invaluable asset for the entire firm as the focus of our representation shifted to representing the injured party – the plaintiff – over the past thirty-five years. Marvin was instrumental in the No-Fault legislation which came into effect in 1976 and served on numerous legal panels, including the legal-medical panel with both attorneys and doctors as members, for many years. Marvin shared his insights and trial acumen with William, his son, for fourteen years of practice together. Sadly, Marvin died in February of 2005, leaving behind a legacy of grace, elegance, class, passion and brilliance for which the firm Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., will forever represent in his honor.
