Jeremy Moss Cohen

My ex abandoned me and our cat more than three years ago. Two years after disappearing and ghosting me, the ex suddenly reappeared and demanded that I give her the cat. This was six months into Covid and I had barely left my house for six months and the cat was my only and dearest companion. So I tol...d the ex, "No thanks." In response to my reply, she ended up suing me for the cat and $25k in pain and suffering damages, plus her legal fees. I talked to a couple of lawyers, but neither of them would take the case, saying that the case was unwinnable for me because the receipt for the cat was in my ex's name. They told me that I should just give my cat to my ex and adopt a new cat. I didn't want to do that, however, because I love my cat dearly. I came across Jeremy Cohen via Googling for lawyers that specialize in pet law in Massachusetts. He told me that the case wasn't so cut and dry as the other lawyers had insisted. He said, for instance, that he knew all sorts of techniques that could tie up the case in the courts for a couple of years, and that in all likelihood, these endless roadblocks would cause my ex to give up the suit and just adopt a new cat instead. Especially since during all this time, I would still be in possession of my cat. Most people would not be so patient, nor want to devote so much time, energy, and money to retrieve a cat that they hadn't seen in a couple of years and now wouldn't see for a couple more years, at best. Jeremy was exactly right. It took a while, but my ex eventually dropped the suit against me, and now I no longer have to worry about having my beloved cat taken from me.

Jeremy represented us at a dangerous dog hearing for our Staffordshire Terrier brought by a neighbor. DO NOT GO TO A HEARING WITHOUT BOSTON DOG LAWYERS. There were 2 incident with the neighbor's 2 large dogs that were over 1 year apart, a complaint that our boy bit the neighbor during the first in...cident in the hand and attacked his dogs. The Town made several errors issuing the date and time of our hearing and the first hearing was missed without our input. Jeremy stopped that hearing after it closed while the Board of Selectmen had already found for the complainant and deemed our boy Dangerous. They were administering all of the allowed restrictions. Two weeks later, we had our hearing and Jeremy not only educated the board, but explained why our boy was not Dangerous, explaining how the neighbor placed his hand inside our boy's mouth in an attempt to separate the 2 dogs resulting in an injury to his hand. Our hearing ended in a nuisance label since he had escaped several times and the only restriction was to maintain the fenced area he is kept. NO ONE should attend these hearings with Boston Dog Lawyers to represent them and remove the risk of having their dog labeled a Dangerous Dog which follows them for life and hold many restrictions.

I recommend attorney Jeremy Cohen. He responded in an extremely timely matter, he is a very knowledgeable, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Jeremy for a Dangerousness hearing, he is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier with the resul...ts.

I consulted with Jeremy regarding an Emotional Support Animal dispute with my landlady. He confirmed my suspicion that certain terms she was proposing were likely non-compliant with the law, and encouraged me to try working it out with her directly first, while explaining how the process would work i...f I needed to hire him. I almost hired him later when I continued to have trouble, but ultimately did not need to when the landlady started complying with the law. He was empathetic throughout the whole process and should I run into any further animal disputes, he will be my first call.

We hired Attorney Jeremy M. Cohen to deal with a nuisance dog issue we had with our neighbor. He was hindered in his abilities to assist us at first since it was initiated right before the Pandemic. The town offices were closed. As the town started to open, he communicated his objections to how th...e town was handling it and referenced state law in an effort to educate the town with how their bylaws were not in compliance. He requested hearings in accordance with our citizen rights. The town has been egregiously incompetent in the resolution of assisting with the issue and had a dog catcher decide the fate for us being the harassed family. Our decision to bring the case to Superior Court has been tabled for now due to a backlog in the court system and we are exploring another legal avenue. We found him witty, highly intelligent, incredibly effective with very few words, conscientious of his fees to his clients and a genuine desire to solve the issue for his clients. He cares about not only the people involved but also the animals. He recognizes that bad behavior with pets could be a sign of abuse and neglect from their owners. We would highly recommend him to assist with representing anyone who has a dog issue. We felt total confidence in his ability to represent us and we will not hesitate to hire him in the near future if the other resolutions we are pursuing do not resolve the issue.
