Exceptional Experience
Worked with Lenny on a child custody case. He was very helpful in figuring out all the ways to come to an agreement and be fair. Very knowledgeable about family law. Child custody cases can be stressful but with Lenny he made me feel confident and secure about all the proceedings. I had a stress free experience with Lenny as my lawyer. Will definitely recommend if you want a lawyer who cares about your concerns.

Lenny Cohen
Lenny was referred to me from another trusted attorney I know to help with legal counsel for my family. Throughout the entire process he was very thorough, responsive and as importantly empathetic. Lenny guided me through everything and was a true professional. He knew the local legal system and judges, and was fully prepared. If you need a good family attorney, Lenny Cohen is the way to go.

Exceptional Attorney; 5*
Mr Cohen is the exception to the rule when it comes to attorneys! He is HONEST! In addition, he's not a settler, he fought for every aspect of my divorce, even the most minut detail. He was able to settled my case, keep it cost effective as well! When you go through something as devastating as a divorce, you need to have a comfort zone to fall back on . Mr Cohen was more than that to me!! Good man, an excellent attorney, and now a man after the fact I can call a friend...

Honest and High Excellence
Lenny was honest about the case from begin to end. He worked the case effectively and motivated the adversary to settle sooner than expected. He is professional, discipline, self-motivated and knowledgeable. Lenny is someone I would utilize in the future and refer to friends. Thank you very much Lenny.

Mr. Cohen
The best! Mr. Cohen thoroughly and carefully reviewed the legal process with me. I had many questions- he was patient and very clear with his explanations. Extremely knowledgable about child custody laws. Was very comforting during this emotional time, yet frank and honest about process. I would recommend Mr. Cohen 100%. You will not find a better lawyer to help.
