Cooper Elliott was proud to support the inaugural CABJ Griot Society "Pillars of the Press" awards luncheon, hosted Saturday at Huntington Park's Hall of Fame Club.

We believe a free, diverse press matters to a healthy democracy and a healthy legal system. Just as we believe every person deserves fair representation in the courtroom, we believe every community deserves to see itself represented in the newsroom.

Thank you to the Columbus Association of Black Journalists and its President, NBC4 Anchor Kerry Charles, for the important work you do.

No amount of money will ever bring Jo Ann Echelbarger back to her family. But we hope this resolution brings them some measure of peace and sends a clear message that dog owners and those in positions of public trust have a real responsibility to protect the people in their communities. When that responsibility is ignored, there are consequences. We are honored to have stood with the Echelbarger family through this fight.

True leadership is built on alignment, but it’s fueled by real camaraderie.

As Managing Partners at Cooper Elliott, Kaela and Abby share the heavy lifting of leading our firm and tackling complex cases. But what makes their partnership work seamlessly is how much they truly enjoy working together.

High-stakes advocacy is demanding, but it’s a lot easier and more rewarding when you’re leading alongside a trusted friend.

At our firm, women make up the majority of our legal team. To our clients, that number means something much deeper than a statistic.

The legal process can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when navigating a painful or traumatic life event. Having a team that brings diverse lived experiences, deep empathy, and a shared perspective changes the entire experience. It means you are not just represented. You are heard, understood, and walked alongside every single step of the way.

Summer shipping brings an influx of heavy commercial trucks to our highways.

To beat the rush, some companies cut corners on vehicle maintenance and driver fatigue. According to the FMCSA, these are major factors in summer crashes.

Stay safe out there. If you ever need an advocate in your corner, we’re a click or a call away.

We don’t just walk out of the courtroom with a verdict; we leave with the leverage needed to influence systemic change. Our trial work exposes negligence so completely that institutions have no choice but to update their safety rules and policies.

A jury verdict can compensate a victim for a tragedy, but our mission is to ensure it never happens again. We use the undeniable truth uncovered to dismantle unsafe corporate and institutional systems from the top down. True justice means turning a victory into community protection.
