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 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.
Leonard B. Cohen began his family law career after completion of a family court judicial clerkship for the Honorable Severiano Lisboa III, J.S.C.,  Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, in Hudson County from 2008 to 2009. Leonard has devoted his practice to matrimonial law and all related family matters.  He has also expanded his practice to handle real estate litigation such as commerical and residential foreclosures as the home is in many cases the most valuable asset in a marriage. Leonard has been appointed by Family Court Judges to act as a Guardian Ad Litem, Attorney in Fact, Receiver of Rents and Parenting Coordinator and is also proud to serve as an Early Settlement Panelist in Hudson County.
Leonard was admitted to the New Jersey Bar and the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, in 2009 and is a member of the Hudson County Bar Association.

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...

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.
