Rosanna helped our family when my daughter was suspected of academic misconduct. Rosanna is a unique individual and I am honoured to have made her acqaintance. For me, Rosanna is not only an impeccable lawyer, but an extraordinary person, a role model for other people, examplifying such qualities as dedication, professionalism and a real sense of having a personal mission to help people.

The advice I was given was detailed and incredibly helpful. Rosanna was motivated and compassionate about my situation and promptly provided me with advice and documents to help me with my case. It was obvious she has an extensive knowledge about her field and I can't recommend using RT Coopers solicitors enough. I was walked through my case and all of the options I had to pursue in a detailed zoom consultation.

Dr Rosanna Cooper was especially helpful in my case. I don't think I could have appealed without her expertise. Throughout the process she was extremely informative and made sure I knew exactly what was happening. She was able to pick out features of my case that previous lawyers did not. Dr Cooper looked at my case thoroughly, with empathy for my situation. I would definitely recommend her! Update: I've received the outcome for my appeal and it has been upheld! This would not have been possible without the support and expertise of Doctor Cooper. As mentioned earlier, I would definitely recommend her work!

RT Coopers are an excellent professional law firm and I was pleased with the help that I received. Dr. Cooper advised me, and not only is she a brilliant lawyer, but she is also very caring and supportive of all of her clients. My appeal drafted by RT Coopers for extenuating circumstances was upheld and I am most grateful for the help of Rosanna and the academic lawyers. I strongly recommend this quality firm.

Report
I enquired with several firms about a case of self plagiarism. RT Coopers Solicitors was quick to respond and straight away we were able to go through the specifics of my case. Rosanna spent several hours on Zoom with me going through my entire literature review and we complied evidence that I could use in my appeal. Rosanna also prepared a strong statement that I could use in my case. Whilst waiting for my appeal date Rosanna was on hand to answer any questions and always replied promptly.
After appealing, I won the case and am set to graduate with a Distinction. This was a huge relief to me as if the original decision had not been overturned I would've graduated with a Merit. I can't thank RT Coopers enough - they helped me tremendously compiling the evidence and statement I needed to win my case. Highly recommend!

I felt compelled to write this review as RT Coopers have been exceptional in the way they have dealt with my case. I had a very bad experience at work and went to a settlement agreement lawyer for help. I spoke to the lawyer who was amazing, she reassured me, supported me and got me an amazing outcome from a very bad situation. I wasn't in a good place mentally when I first spoke to the firm and was doubting myself but with the amazing reassurance and positivity I received I began to feel much more positive and have a brighter outlook. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anybody who is need of help! THANK YOU.
