Meet Heather A. Cooper

I am one of the three founding partners of Cooper Ginsberg Gray, PLLC, and helped launch the firm in November of 2004. Our firm’s mission is, and has been, centered on providing compassionate and competent legal representation, advancing the legal profession, and giving back to the Northern Virginia community.

Throughout my 30-year career, my practice has been devoted to helping my clients navigate through family law matters. I strive to connect with my clients on a personal level and provide them with a calming presence when handling their cases. I always endeavor to manage the case in such a way that reduces the financial and psychological impact of the divorce on the family.

My experience includes handling issues ranging from child custody to distribution of property (including retirement assets, stock options, and real estate) to issues pertaining to alimony and child support. I have also assisted clients with protective order matters and those seeking prenuptial agreements.

I have developed a particular interest in cases in which one or both spouses are in the military. Having come from a family dedicated to military service, I have an acute interest in all aspects of military divorce, including jurisdictional issues and those related to the division of military retired pay.

Outside of my practice, I give back to the legal community by conducting Continuing Legal Education seminars for other attorneys and paralegals. I speak on topics including basic divorce law for paralegals, premarital agreements, division of military retirement benefits upon divorce, drafting of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders for retirement plans covered by ERISA, custody matters, enforcement of Marital Agreements and client management. I was also honored to serve as President of the Board of Directors for the Fairfax Law Foundation, the charitable arm of the Fairfax Bar Association.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, Phoebe and Slam, volunteering as a foster for dogs in need of safe spaces and watching live music.

If you would like to schedule a consultation appointment with me, please call our office at (703) 934-1480 or complete our initial consultation form.  I look forward to meeting with you.
