The firm

The firm

A Baltimore general practice, founded by Gerald Cooper in 1965.

Cooper & Tuerk is a firm of experienced civil and criminal law attorneys working from Suite 2300 at 201 North Charles Street. You work directly with an attorney, with personal service instead of being left with a paralegal. In the firm’s own words, “Our goal is to obtain the best possible outcome for you.”

The office takes matters from Baltimore City, all of Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County, and across the wider Baltimore area. Hours are by appointment, so the first step is a call to (410) 539-0300.
