Cooney Law Offices

What Cooney Law Offices does

Cooney Law Offices, P.S. is a privately held, founder-owned law firm headquartered in Spokane, Washington, operating continuously since 1949 and serving individuals and families across Spokane and Eastern Washington. The firm operates through four core practice areas — Personal Injury & Wrongful Death, DUI/Criminal Defense, Estate Planning, and Probate — with an additional Employment Law offering introduced in 2025, and is staffed by four named attorneys (Jim Cooney as Co-Founder/Of Counsel, Dallas Cooney and Tamarae Leong as Managing Partners, and Meagan Bennett as Attorney).

The firm runs on standard legal practice management tooling with no disclosed proprietary technology; client acquisition is direct-to-consumer via phone intake (509-327-6000), a Typeform-based online intake funnel, and in-person consultations at the recently relocated 25 W. Cataldo Avenue office. Marketing relies on local SEO, Google reviews, and memberships in five state and national bar and trial-lawyer associations.

Revenue is generated through three streams: contingency fees on personal injury and wrongful death matters (where the firm advertises $1M+ in annual settlements), hourly and flat fees for criminal defense, and professional-services fees for estate planning and probate work. Free initial case reviews are offered as the primary funnel entry point. The firm reports having served over 15,000 individuals with a 4.3/5.0 Google rating, and operates as a professional service corporation (P.S.) with no institutional or parent-company ownership.

Emerging players

• LegalZoom: Online legal services platform offering standardized wills, trusts, and business formations at low price points — a technology-enabled competitor threatening the commoditized estate-planning portion of the practice.

Others

• Nolo: Legal information and attorney directory platform — adjacent competitor for consumer attention around legal topics and a referral source/displacement risk for traditional firms like Cooney.

Broad incumbents

• Stoel Rives: Large Pacific Northwest full-service law firm with offices across the region — a broader incumbent that competes for higher-end commercial and estate work while overlapping on litigation.
