JOHN COPE    •   FIRM FOUNDER

ATTORNEY JOHN COPE

John Cope has concentrated his 37-year practice in real estate title litigation after beginning his legal career as a seven-year felony prosecutor in Tarrant County where Cope gained extensive trial experience that includes 50 jury trials of charges such as drug possession and delivery,  sexual assault, child abuse, and non-death penalty capital murder. After leaving prosecution, Cope spent several years with a civil litigation firm focusing on real estate title defense and related litigation. Cope founded his own law firm in 2012. He is often retained by highly respected title insurers to represent homeowners and lenders, and frequently represents settlement agents in disputes arising from real estate transactions.

Cope is a 1992 graduate of The University of Texas School of Law where he received a Dean’s Achievement Award in Insurance Law. In addition to his broad experience as an attorney, Cope is a former senior real estate lending officer who managed mortgage originations and specialized in residential interim construction.
