Excellent advice and service

I highly recommend Alan Cohen. We were faced with large (for us) overdue accounts and after many efforts to collect we consulted with Alan. He called us back immediately; he listened to our situation and asked pertinent questions. He provided advice on how our late fees procedures should work (we wer...e posting these correctly) and how we should proceed. The upshot was that we were able to get the client on a payment plan that resulted in payments without going to court. I cannot say enough about the great advice (on how we should approach the matter) and his advice. I would recommend Alan's and his service to anyone needing help in collecting money from a client. We did it without damaging our relationship- yet getting the money we were owed (over $ 180k). We plan on using Alan whenever the need arises. Collecting overdue accounts is painful- don't put off calling Alan and getting advice.

Collection on a debt

I spoke with Mr. Alan Cohen in regards to collections on an out of state judgement that I have. I have had 2 attorneys working on this case and they can not find a way to collect funds. In my consultation with Mr. Cohen I found him more knowledgably than any other attorneys I have spoke with. I wi...sh I had worked with him from the start. He listened to what I said and then advised me. He is extremely knowledgeable in the law and how to go about things legally. I highly recommend Mr. Cohen to be your first call in legal matters. I found him to be and outstanding attorney.

Successful Business Collection from a Friend

My personal collection attempts over many months had no positive results. Mr. Cohen listened to my problem and wrote a strong but respectful letter to my friend via certified mail. I received my full payment within days.

Tenant Problems

As an out of state landlord I hired Alan Cohen to help me deal with a tenant six months behind in rent. I was afraid of a messy eviction process and concerned that I would not be able to recoup back rents owed me. Alan insured a speedy eviction of my tenant and I recouped every penny of my back ren...t. If you want someone who is relentless and gets results, I strongly recommend Alan.

My company has been working with Alan and his team for several years. I personally have been utilizing his services for almost 4 years and he never disappoints. Alan keeps you informed every step of the way and he gets results quickly. If you want to win your case, then hire Alan.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have dealt with him on several matters as opposing counsel and he was very responsive and fair in dealing with those matters. I trust him and would certainly retain him for my own collection matters. If you have outstanding debt to be collected, there is no one better."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am an attorney in California that sought out Mr. Cohen's services in connection with domesticating a California Judgment in MA on behalf of a finance client. The Judgment Debtor had moved to MA. The Judgment Debtor through a MA attorney vigorously opposed the domestication of the CA Judgment and Mr. Cohen expertly and clearly presented the Court in MA with the legal and factual authority to prevail. Mr. Cohen was at all times wonderful to work with and at all times responsive in a prompt and professional manner - Thank you Mr. Cohen!!"

Unknown lawyer | Apr 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"We hired Alan Cohen many years ago to collect money owed to us by a former client against whom we obtained a judgment in California. In the interim, the client went to prison for unrelated, illegal activities. We honestly forgot about the debt and assumed we never would be paid. When the debtor was released from prison, however, Alan and his team continued to pursue our claim vigorously. He knew when the debtor was released from prison and just continued his dogged pursuit of our money. It has been OVER 10 YEARS since we retained Alan to collect the monies owed to us and, by golly, he has been on it the entire time. We continue to receive checks from a debt that, frankly, we thought we never would collect on. I have been an attorney for 43 years. In my opinion and experience, Alan and his team are the most tenacious lawyers I have ever met. Very professional; outstanding client service and communication and he goes after debts like a dog after a bone. Highly recommended"
