Verlin, Esq., a Partner at Cooper Family Law, is a highly experienced family law attorney with more than three decades of service to families across Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. Known for her calm demeanor and clear communication style, Carol is a steadfast advocate for clients facing complex and emotionally sensitive legal matters.

Carol believes in empowering clients with information and guidance, ensuring they feel supported and confident as they make important legal decisions.
