A nice litigator that gets results. It's not a dream or a TV show - it Mr. Cohen.

Mr. Cohen was thorough, kept us informed of all the steps involved (and even asked us if we wanted to know all the steps!), good communication. Always willing to answer our nervous questions - very patient and calm. I thought litigators were going to be vicious from the start. He was calm all the... way through and just used logic and law to smash the other guy to bits. Calmly, and was very good at calling people by their honorific. Your honor, Oposing Counsil, may I suggestion you look at it thus way. Very impressive.p

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
