Cooper & Bilbrey, P.C.

Mr. AJ Bilbrey has been assisting me with a complex situation involving my ocean-going catamaran, and he has been exceptional in every respect. He is highly professional, insightful, and thoughtful in his approach. Rather than escalating matters unnecessarily, he works methodically to de-escalate situations and focus on achieving an appropriate and effective resolution. I consider myself a discerning client with high performance expectations, and to date, Mr. Bilbrey has met or exceeded those expectations in all regards. I have been consistently impressed by his judgment, responsiveness, and availability. It is truly my pleasure to provide this positive review based on my experience working with him.

I hired David Bartholomew to handle my BWI case after being referred by a friend. He was quick to respond and walked me through every step. Very knowledgeable about traffic and boating laws, and had a strong defense. Thanks to his hard work the case was dropped. I highly recommend David for any of your attorney needs.

David Bartholomew is my go to guy for any legal advice or counsel personal or business. Always straight forward with what to expect and has always produced favorable results

Recently I had the pleasure of an introduction call with Attorney AJ Bilbrey (Cooper & Bilbrey, P.C) He was very pleasant, knowledgeable as to the direction we should be going, and also respectful of my lack of Legalese. After a lengthy phone call I was also impressed by his strong sense of ethics and solid answers to my questions. Looking forward to working with him and the guidance of his firm.

Working with AJ Bilbrey was a pleasure. It's obvious that he has a deep knowledge of maritime law and an extensive history with people of interest in the USCG and the related judicial system. This made my experience go smoothly and wrap up nicely. I highly recommend educating oneself as the process goes along because it makes the conversations as fruitful as possible.

My wife and I recently contacted Attorney Bilbrey (Cooper & Bilbrey, P.C.) regarding a maritime case, and we were truly impressed by the experience. Not only did he answer our initial questions, but he also took the time to explain the process in detail and provided additional valuable information we did not know that we needed. We highly recommend Cooper & Bilbrey, P.C. to anyone seeking legal guidance in maritime matters

From day one when I reached out to Mr. Cooper he was so respectful, pleasant, resourceful, and all around GREAT person. Mr. Cooper is one of the best lawyers in town. So blessed and grateful for him and his team for everything they have done for me.

Cooper & Bilbrey (and particularly, A.J. Bilbrey) were outstanding in settling a difficult marine collision that happened during a storm in January 2024. A.J. was able to navigate a lot of legal issues in the case about negligence, etc. and were able to obtain a full settlement of what we were seeking in damages. It was an excellent outcome, and I would recommend A.J. and this firm to anyone needing marine assistance.

Attorney Bilbrey was amazing to work with. He was easy to talk to. No legal mumbo jumbo. I never felt like I didn't understand where we stood legally in our situation. He got back to us regarding our concerns on a regular basis. I would highly recommend this firm . It is always in everyone's best interest to support local small businesses.

I highly recommend Cooper and Bilbrey PC to manage your legal needs! Albert Bilberry worked my case and was outstanding. He diligently worked on my complicated case for 2 years and effectively communicated with me throughout that time. Even with a difficult defendant and complex scenario he went above and beyond to ensure a favorable outcome. He is a proficient attorney and smoothly executed my case with a winning verdict that surpassed my expectations. I thank both Mr Bilbrey and Mr Cooper for accepting my case and working with me throughout this process. I am so glad I chose Cooper and Bilbrey PC to manage my case. I will definitely use this law firm for any future legal needs.

After an unfortunate charter fishing incident, I was both grateful and relieved to have found AJ and the Cooper & Bilbrey team. AJ was very personable, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He carefully reviewed all options with me and provided the correct recommendations. His responsiveness to questions or concerns was always immediate. Further, AJ provided the best result possible. I will always feel fortunate to have been represented by such a great attorney and top notch firm!

I had an urgent need for an attorney in South Carolina. I called the firm on a word-of-mount referral. AJ picked up the phone, and within 10 minutes, we had a resolution plan in place. AJ agreed to personally ensure all paperwork was handled the next day. Mind you, the firm did not know me except from a random phone call. Regardless, the entire transaction was wrapped up within 24 hours thanks to AJ and his immediate personal efforts -- which were well beyond expectations. I'm very thankful that I found the "needle in a haystack" law firm who can establish an effective and successful relationship immediately and carry through to get the job done. Thanks to AJ and the firm.

I have worked with John and his firm . I have experienced something that should be a common practice but unfortunately not practiced by many . Honesty, Integrity and the willingness to help a people with much passion . I highly recommend John and his team . I am grateful for your help! Thank you always!

John Townsend Cooper was welcoming, thorough, gave his honest open opinion, and made all the legal work clear. He has a calm reassurance in dealing with important issues important to his clients. I would highly recommend Cooper & Bilbrey.

John Townsend Cooper did an outstanding job with our unusual, challenging case. He was always courteous, respectful, expedient as best could be and at times added a little humor which is always a good thing. My husband and I highly recommend this law group! Thanks for everything John Townsend!!

Whether you're buying, selling, registering, or get injured on a boat, AJ Bilbrey is the attorney you want on your side! Highly recommend.

My experience with the Cooper & Bilbrey firm was very good. Though my issue was probably not that life shattering, they still were quite responsive to my questions and needs. Never once did I feel that they did not care about the circumstances that I wanted to have addressed. I also learned that a good maritime lawyer is very much needed when addressing the unique aspects of maritime law.

Unbelievable experience. Albert Bilbrey was amazing to work with, had an incredible work ethic and got the job done. Communication was exceptional from start to finish. Very difficult circumstances were handled with ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone even with the worst situations.

Cooper&Bilbrey came highly recommended from another maritime lawyer, and have helped me with a serious coast guard situation. Albert Bilbrey has proven to be a man of his word and put forth some serious efforts to help me resolve this issue. He believed in me from the beginning, and always had my back thru this tedious process. I would recommend him to anyone who has to take on the coast guard to get a good resolution which is not easy. Thank you and you firm for all your help. Sincerely, Andrew Rowe
