Melissa Cohen

I hired Melissa Cohen, Esquire of SeidenFreed LLC to represent me in my divorce, and I'm incredibly grateful I did. From the first consultation, she demonstrated compassion, knowledge, and direct-exactly what I needed during such a difficult and emotionally charged time. She took the time to understa...nd the specifics of my case and clearly explained my rights, options, likely outcomes and always led me in the right direction. Throughout the process, Melissa was responsive to my questions, kept me informed about every development, and fought hard to ensure a fair outcome regarding pet custody, property division, and support. Not only her ability to balance empathy with firm legal strategy that stood out the most. It spoke so much more volume how she is an advocate for domestic violence victims in addition to mental health awareness. She was not just a lawyer but an amazing supporter who made sure I was aware of additional resources to get me through such a traumatic time until the very end. Thanks to her professionalism and dedication, I made it through the process with a strong sense of closure and confidence in the next chapter of my life. I would recommend Melissa Cohen, Esquire without hesitation to anyone going through a divorce-especially if you want someone who truly has your back.

I retained Ms. Cohen regarding a sensitive family matter. She has been nothing but knowledgeable, prompt, and reliable. The dedication she has to her practice is unparalleled. Initially, I was emotional and wavering. Ms. Cohen sensitively and professionally explained the law and decisions (althou...gh difficult) I had to make for the safety of myself and my daughter. She thoroughly explains all possible routes and outcomes. Ms. Cohen has a human touch coupled with a fierce loyalty that is an immeasurable benefit when considering a family law attorney. As I continue my journey through family law, her guidance and representation is nothing short of excellence. I have recommended her and will continue to do so.

Melissa has been my son’s advocate and mine, since the moment I met her. What impressed me most about Melissa was her professionalism, her investment of time to understand my individual case, her thorough knowledge and understanding of case law and precedent that would support my positions. And m...ost of all, her ability to guide and advise me appropriately on every single issue that came up in this stressful process. I was overwhelmed and scared and needed her to assist me with a contentious custody motion. Melissa was always straightforward and told me what to expect each step of the way. She does not always tell you what you want to hear, though she will provide the outstanding guidance and advice you need to get the best outcome possible. Having a lawyer who is honest with you and guides you even when the information is difficult or not what you want to hear is critical to get the best outcome for your family. My situation is high conflict and Melissa remained steadfast and professional while we navigated the contentious and often frustrating process. Melissa always promptly answered my questions, emails, calls and responded in a manner that helped navigate every issue. I am not someone who would easily give five stars, especially on a topic as important as my son and his well-being, and Melissa is absolutely five stars. I have recommended Melissa to colleagues, friends and family and will continue to do so. She has high integrity and expertise and I trust her in every instance.
