Biography

Robert H. Cooper, Esquire, is the owner of The Cooper Law Firm and has practiced bankruptcy law almost exclusively for the past fifteen years. Mr. Cooper practices in all types of bankruptcy law; however, he has chosen to work exclusively on behalf of debtor (i.e. those who owe debts) and does not represent creditor clients (i.e. those who are owed debts).

"Bob" Cooper, as he is known by all, received his law degree (Juris Doctorate) from The University of South Carolina. He has been a member of the South Carolina Bankruptcy Law Association since its inception in 1990. He has served on its Board of Directors since 1999. Additionally, he is a past member of The South Carolina Bankruptcy Court Local Rules Committee, and has served as its chairman, as well. He has been appointed by the court to serve on committees that have shaped bankruptcy policies within the state of South Carolina. He has served as Vice Chairman and co-chairman of the Annual Seminar Planning Committee of the South Carolina Bankruptcy Law Association.

Mr. Cooper has represented thousands of bankruptcy clients, and is well known throughout the state of South Carolina as a competent and experienced attorney in both consumer and business bankruptcy cases. He has litigated difficult issues, some of which had never before been litigated on behalf of debtors in this state, and has set new law regarding certain of these legal issues. Mr. Cooper has been asked on numerous occasions to speak on the subject of bankruptcy in seminars, and has done so.
