Isaiah earned his law degree at NYU in 1991. Prior to law school Isaiah worked for two years (1986-88) as a paralegal at the products liability firm of Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C. He began his law career as a tax associate with Gordon, Altman, Butowsky, Weitzen, Shalov & Wein in 1991 (now defunct). From 1994 to 1996, he was associated with the boutique tax, trust & estates and business law firm of Bergman, Horowitz & Reynolds, P.C. (now Withers Bergman LLP) in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1996, he joined Pepe & Hazard LLP (merged into McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter LLP in 2010) in Hartford to gain more experience with private placements and corporate transactions. Isaiah remained at Pepe & Hazard until December 2001, when he became Of Counsel to Gregory & Adams P.C. in Wilton, Connecticut.. Isaiah founded Cooper Law LLC in New Haven, Connecticut at the beginning of 2004. He is admitted to practice in Connecticut and New York.. Prior to his law career, Isaiah was a professional trombonist. Isaiah Cooper performed as principal trombonist with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra in Israel in 1985-86, the Friedens Orchester (Peace Orchestra) in 1984-85, the Santa Monica Symphony in California from 1982-1984, and has done recording work in Los Angeles, California, Memphis, Tennessee, and Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel. He has performed in marching bands, salsa bands, soul bands, klezmer bands, big bands, chamber music, opera, ballet and theatrical avant garde ensembles.. As an orchestral performer, Isaiah realized the benefit of hard work and considerable practice and preparation to be sure he got the music right. As a composer, Isaiah found it critical to select the instrumentation, style, tonality and meter in order to have the freedom within that structure to create. As an improviser, Isaiah learned how to take a wrong note or dissonance and make it lead to the right one, when to leave some silence, and when to play more. Isaiah applies the same principles to his law practice. He continues to prepare, to study and to learn. He has learned to select (find or draft) the right materials for each transaction, and his flexibility and understanding of when to use silence and when to speak helps him to negotiate effectively to solve or turn around difficult situations. After years of high-level performance as a musician, mainly as principal or first chair player, starting out as a lawyer, as a first year associate in a NYC law firm, was challenging for Mr. Cooper.  Now that he has attained a similar high-level of ability as an attorney, Isaiah loves what he does, and is passionate about bringing together the elements of each deal.. Isaiah grew up living on a small chicken farm outside of Middletown, New York. His family sold eggs to local businesses, through a local farmer’s cooperative in Sullivan County (in the Catskills) and from the drive-up window which Isaiah’s mom designed and had built into the mud room of their farmhouse (this was before banks and pharmacies had drive-up windows). Isaiah learned to make change selling eggs when he was approximately seven years old.. Isaiah majored in music at the State University of New York in Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo). He was originally enrolled in a five-year bachelors/masters program in music education, but, wanting to know more about making music before committing to teaching it, he transferred to a trombone performance major, getting his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, summa cum laude, in 1978. Isaiah studied with Richard Myers, the principal trombonist of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at SUNY Buffalo, and privately with Don Miller, the Buffalo Philharmonic’s bass trombonist. Isaiah played in a Salsa band (El Grande Sonito) during his freshman year, and in the Equinox Soul Band, a ten-piece band during his sophomore and junior years. Isaiah started doing a fair amount of teaching and freelance playing during his last couple of years in Buffalo.. Isaiah worked on his Master of Music degree at Youngstown State University from 1978 to 1980, studying with Dr. Vern Kagarice. During the summer of 1979 Isaiah toured around the Great Lakes with the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, performing at waterfront parks from a motorized barge/floating stage.. Isaiah attended Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis) as a graduate/doctoral student from 1980 to 1982. He studied with Douglas Lemmon at MSU and did a great deal of teaching and performing in Memphis. During this period Isaiah was the “first call” substitute trombonist in the Memphis studios (where he recorded commercial jingles), the Memphis Symphony, the Memphis Opera, the Memphis Concert Band and other organizations. During the “Memphis in May” festivals in 1981 and 1982, Isaiah was able to perform with an almost all African-American big band which included The Memphis Horns, and musicians who played with The Ray Charles Band, Aretha Franklin and others. He even got to play for a rodeo in Memphis. During the summer of 1982, Isaiah worked as an usher at the amphitheatre at the then new Mud Island River Park. Rather than just ushering, Isaiah was often given the responsibility for transporting the entertainment to and from the facility. In this connection he met Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Donny Osmond, Hal Holbrook and the members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.. Isaiah decided to continue his doctoral studies at the University of Southern California and transferred there for the fall semester of 1982. He spent two years (from 1982 to 1984) in the L.A. area during which time he completed significant requirements towards a Doctor of Musical Arts degree. Isaiah studied with Dr. Terry Cravens at USC and privately with Ralph Sauer, principal trombonist in the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. During these years, Isaiah also taught and freelanced extensively, performing as principal trombonist with the Santa Monica Symphony, the Korean Orchestra of Los Angeles, the Japanese Orchestra of Los Angeles and the Orchestra of the Barrio. He also put significant energy into composing and conducting, and premiered a number of new compositions, including ones he wrote. His improvisational avant garde band, Concurrents, did a live broadcast of music written by its members on public radio station KPFK in Southern California in 1984.. Isaiah received a grant from the German Academic Exchange Service and spent from August 1984 until July 1985 in Germany, two months studying German in Freiburg, and ten months studying trombone with Herr Professor Dr. Armin Rosin (as well as freelancing in Stuttgart and around Germany). Isaiah played with a Salsa band in Stuttgart. This band included players from Puerto Rico, Colombia, Greece, Peru, Argentina and Germany, in addition to Isaiah. He was also able to premier several compositions, both his own and pieces by others, including a piece for three alphorns (remember the Ricola cough drops commercial?), brass and percussion.. In the spring of 1985, Dr. Rosin did a series of recitals in Israel and discovered that the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra (JSO) needed a new principal trombonist. The JSO’s music director, Gary Bertini, was also the conductor of the West German Radio Orchestra, so Isaiah was able to audition for the job in Jerusalem while still in Germany. The following year (1985-86) Isaiah performed as principal trombonist for the JSO and freelanced with a big band from Tel Aviv, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and with his section mates playing trombone trios and quartets (with a talented student).. At the end of Isaiah’s year in Jerusalem, the JSO did a tour in Germany, the first time since World War II and the Nazi genocide of European Jewry (among others) that a Jewish orchestra performed there.. Isaiah returned to the United States in the summer of 1986. He took a paralegal position at Herzfeld and Rubin (a products liability defense firm representing Volkswagen of America and most of the other automobile manufacturers).. Isaiah lives in New Haven, CT.

I provide alternative legal services that most attorneys do not provide. Legal coaching is an affordable, cost effective approach to the traditional legal services model. I provide "pay as you go" legal advice and support so that everyone can feel comfortable in retaining an attorney.. Whether you can afford an attorney or not, legal coaching may be attractive to you because you are either budget conscious or have limited financial resources. Maybe you believe you can do a lot of the work yourself and just need some guidance.  Nevertheless, I take you step by step and walk you through the process. You pay for what you need. And if you decide somewhere down the road that you want me to take over your case, we can discuss that option as well. I believe everyone should have options when hiring legal counsel. It's stressful enough when facing divorce let alone the thought of hiring a lawyer.

I practice primarily in the areas of medical malpractice defense, legal malpractice, products liability and premises liability defending hospitals, physicians, mid-level practitioners and nursing staff against claims of medical negligence.

I help people like you protect your rights.. Getting charged with a crime can be a scary experience. Not knowing how your future will be affected can be paralyzing.  That's why you want an attorney who not only has experience, but understands what you're going through.  My firm was built on the principle: Innocent until proven guilty.  Being charged with a crime doesn't always mean you did something wrong -- good people make mistakes, and everyone deserves a proper defense.. I'm a criminal defense lawyer because it's more than just a job - it's who I am. I give each case the careful attention it deserves, and work closely with clients to ensure their best interests are carefully served.  I create and maintain open communication with clients through all stages of their case.  My job is to establish an atmosphere of trust and respect, and understand the challenges my clients are facing.. As your attorney, I'll do the same for you because you are more than a client: You are a person who matters.

I have a broad commercial civil litigation practice including ERISA, environmental, zoning, directors and officers, products liability, financial and employment litigation.  I also represent clients in state and federal court, at the trial level and on appeal, in arbitrations, and before various administrative agencies including the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection..

Also in employment law, I draft and provide advice on employment contracts, restrictive covenants, severance agreements, and the implementation of employment manuals, policies and procedures.

I concentrate my practice in family law from pre-marital agreements to. post-trial hearings and appeals. Most of my cases are referred by both attorneys and satisfied clients. I have a very successful trial record that spans over 35 years in cases including complex high-net worth divorce, business valuation, mental health, addiction and abuse issues, along with relocation and other custody disputes. I am an active member of the Connecticut Bar Association’s family law section  and the New Haven County Bar Association’s family law section executive committee. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and have an AV-rating by Martindale-Hubbell®’s The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, which is the highest rating in both legal ability and ethical  standards. I am also listed in Best Lawyers in America.. I have been appointed as a Special Master in numerous judicial districts and also for. the Regional Family Trial Docket. I've lectured and written on family law issues, including technology and legal ethics and appellate practice. My approach is to use  creativity and personal attention to detail to execute individualized strategies that address each client’s goals and achieve the best possible results as efficiently as possible, whether by settlement or trial.

I am an attorney, an artist, and a tech enthusiast, licensed to practice law in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I spend my days helping start-ups, innovators, and makers protect their legal needs. I spend my nights learning to code.. An innovative business like yours is not one-size-fits-all. You don't need a corporate suit, and you don't want to rely on Google to meet your legal needs.. That's where I come in. I've worked with small businesses and big media corporations. Business today isn't business as usual anymore.. When you contact me, you get an actual person, an attorney & business owner, and not a robot or customer service drone.. Together, you and I will strategize your legal without breaking the budget or drowning in legalese.

The agreements and contracts are crafted to provide the legal structure for the entity to operate effectively, and constructed with the objective of avoiding future disputes.. There are numerous types of disputes that might arise within the healthcare industry; between providers and payors, doctors and hospitals, senior and junior doctors, and partnerships. Within the arena of dispute resolution and mediation Greg assumes the patient/provider perspective and works as an advocate for the patient or provider. In a recent arbitration, a national ancillary healthcare service provider claimed that a national payor entity had wrongfully denied over 30,000 claims for reimbursement.

Attorney Pepe, appointed by the national healthcare provider as one of the arbitrators, together with the other arbitrators, worked with both parties to achieve resolution. The emergence of large healthcare provider groups and networks presages large and complex arbitrations when the parties have disputes..
