Experienced Trial Lawyers Protecting Your Interests

If you are being sued or if you need to initiate legal action, there is no substitute for litigation experience. Most cases are ultimately resolved out of court, but you need a lawyer who knows how to prepare for trial to position you for court proceedings or a negotiated resolution.

James R. Cooney and Ryan J. Cooney are a father-and-son team with years of experience in business and civil litigation. We have secured jury verdicts in state and federal courts of Pennsylvania, including high-stakes and high-profile cases. We welcome inquiries and referrals.
