Phenomenal Legal Representation

We hired Jeremy Cohen to represent us in a multi-state lawsuit involving the kidnapping and illegal adoption of our 11 year old dog. Jeremy tirelessly and effectively coordinated legal efforts across state lines. His legal acumen in this area of law is stellar and beyond comparison. He helped in the ...drafting of many legal documents and was indispensable in negotiating the return of our beloved companion. We cannot recommend him enough.

Incredibly helpful

Jeremy was a huge help in answering my questions and alleviating my anxiety related to how an alleged dog bite incident could affect home insurance. He has an abundance of wisdom and experience to share, and he does so with plenty of patience. Highly recommended!

Ms. Brooklyn's Mom

In 2010 my mother became deathly ill and she needed to re home her dog of 5 years, Ms Brooklyn a chihuahua mix and not so nice. Her wish was for me to take Ms Brooklyn. After my mother passed I became extremely attached to Ms Brooklyn and she to me. We were bosom buddies and she wouldn't share me w...ith anyone. It was a loving bond like no other. She was great company and I loved her to the moon and back. Unfortunately Ms Brooklyn was poisoned by a exterminating company scheduled for an apartment above me but they were given my apartment by mistake. I was away working while they entered my home and left several bait traps that Ms Brooklyn found interesting. Needless to say a week later Ms Brooklyn passed due to rat poison. It was the most painful experience and I thought I would go insane. The pain was at times unbearable and I just remember feeling so much anger and loss. I missed work and my health fell tremendously I was lost and didn't know what to do. I found Jeremy on the internet I believe and reached out to him and told him of my nightmare. Right away he understood my feelings and wanted to help me. He explained that the law considered Ms Brooklyn as property rather than a family member and that tore at my heart. Jeremy went onto explain that he was going to do everything possible to make the landlord and the company liable for their actions. It was a long road with lots of disappointments first the landlord wasn't responsible and then the exterminating company wasn't responsible. This went on for months and Jeremy kept the course and fought for Ms Brooklyn and he won her case. They were responsible for her death and they paid. Not a great deal but they paid property worth. At that time I was motivated to move to create laws that pets were not property but in fact family members and should be treated as such. Today I have two new fur babies Ms Darlyn and Clara-belle, both gifts as a result of a feature story on the news arranged by Jeremy to get Ms Brooklyn's story out. Donations and contributions have been made by both myself and Jeremy in memory of Ms Brooklyn. May she rest well till we meet again. Would I recommend Jeremy Cohen? Absolutely without a doubt. His heart is true and he genuinely cares not only for your fur love but for the whole family. Thank You Again! Brooklyn's Mom Salem woman's dog dies of rat poison 2017.

Knowledgeable and compassionate

Animal law is fraught with emotion. My puppy had been mauled to death by a group of dogs and Jeremy helped me accomplish all of my goals while also being a trusted advisor and, I would say, friend. His experience and knowledge of this highly specialized type of law is unparalleled in Massachusetts. ...

Highly recommend

So glad I found him...so glad someone like this even existed! My dog was injured very badly at a doggy daycare facility because of their negligence. Jeremy was able to help us navigate our rights as pet owners and hold them accountable. Easy to communicate with, and just a nice person to deal with. ...Extremely fair and practical.
