Coopers LLP

What Coopers LLP does

Coopers LLP is a privately held plaintiff-side personal injury law firm organized as a Limited Liability Partnership, headquartered in San Francisco, California, with additional offices in Santa Barbara, California and Portland, Oregon. Founded in 2005, the firm employs approximately 32 people including 9 attorneys and operates under a contingency fee model in which clients pay no upfront costs and the firm's compensation is a percentage of any recovery. The firm's practice portfolio spans personal injury and wrongful death, bicycle incidents, pedestrian incidents, commercial trucking accidents, wildfire claims, dog bites, catastrophic accidents, premise liability, e-scooter accidents, auto accidents, and product liability. It also operates two wholly-owned sub-brands: BicycleLaw.com, the first bicycle law practice in the nation dedicated exclusively to cyclist representation, and BicycleGeneration.org, a community advocacy initiative.

The firm differentiates on the basis of trial readiness — disclosing that 98% of cases resolve without trial or arbitration while maintaining the trial posture required to extract favorable settlements — and on deep specialization in bicycle and active-transportation law anchored by partner Bob Mionske, a former U.S. Olympic cyclist. Go-to-market relies on referrals from former clients, opposing counsel, jurors, and judges, complemented by a content-driven ecosystem (Coopers' Code blog, Coopers' Counsel newsletter, Coopers' Code podcast) and sustained community involvement in cycling and pedestrian advocacy organizations across California and the Bay Area.

Disclosed case results include settlements and verdicts ranging from $535,000 to $10,000,000, with at least eighteen matters in the seven-figure range. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no parent company; ownership rests with shareholders including founders Miles B. Cooper and Maryanne B. Cooper (Shareholder and Managing Partner). The firm is licensed to practice in California and Oregon and is not a technology company — its "product" is legal representation, not a software platform, and no AI, automation, or proprietary technology stack is disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Wilshire Law Firm: Large California plaintiff PI firm with heavy marketing spend and a contingency model covering auto, catastrophic injury, and premise liability; representative of the large-scale, ad-driven competitor Coopers competes against for mass-market PI cases.
• Reali Giampapa LLP: California plaintiff PI firm with offices in San Francisco and other CA cities handling serious injury, wrongful death, and auto cases on contingency; directly comparable to Coopers' CA practice and Bay Area base.
• GJEL Accident Attorneys: Northern California plaintiff PI firm focused on auto, bicycle, and pedestrian injury cases on contingency; one of the closest direct competitors given overlapping practice areas (bike/pedestrian), Bay Area geography, and contingency model.
• Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP: Top-tier California plaintiff PI firm handling catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and product liability cases on contingency; comparable in trial credentials (multi-million verdicts) and overlap in core practice areas such as auto, premise liability, and product liability.
• Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys: California-based plaintiff PI firm with offices across the state handling auto, dog bite, premise liability, and wrongful death cases on contingency; directly comparable service mix and geography to Coopers' California footprint.
• Walkup, Melodia, Kelly, Schoenecke & O'Hara: Established San Francisco plaintiff personal injury firm with a similar contingency-fee model, broad PI practice (auto, premises, catastrophic injury), and comparable trial-ready reputation in Northern California — a direct competitor for the same referral pool.
• The Barnes Firm (Pietropaoli & Barnes): Multi-state plaintiff PI firm handling auto, bicycle, pedestrian, and catastrophic injury cases on contingency; comparable contingency model and practice mix, but with broader geographic scale than Coopers.

Others

• Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC): California plaintiff-bar trade association that Coopers partners are deeply involved with (board roles, leadership academy). Not a competitor but a key ecosystem body shaping referral flow, peer reputation, and lobbying environment for plaintiff PI firms like Coopers.
• Doron E. Ezickson PC (Bike Law - separate firm): Bicycle Law (bicyclelaw.com) is both a Coopers-owned sub-brand and historically has been associated with a separate national bike-law practice; relevant adjacent peer given the niche category overlap and shared brand asset in cycling legal services.
• American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA): Invitation-only national trial lawyer organization whose membership signals trial credibility; multiple Coopers partners are ABOTA fellows, making ABOTA an important peer-group/credentialing institution relevant to the firm's positioning.
