Top Real Estate Attorney

Joel Cohen is always attentive to our clients. As a busy real estate broker, its imperative an attorney we recommend be available and provide important real estate legal advice and expertise. Joel is that. He is a good listener and fair negotiator. He will always go to bat for the buyer or seller cli...ent if it becomes necessary. Joel's paralegal Judy Nadeau is also a key cog in keeping the transaction smooth and pleasant.

Extremely Professional, Highly Capable, Kind & Caring

I am a real estate agent who has recommended and used the services of Joel Cohen since 2003. I cannot say enough good things about the professionalism of both Joel and all of his office...they truly work as a professional team. Whenever I recommend Joel to a client I always tell them if you want a ...deal to go through with no problems go with Joel. I have had many instances where the "deal" was ready to go south and Joel has always pulled it back together,,,he and his team make it seem easy but I know it's not! He and his staff are tireless and don't quit until it's done. I have recommended clients to him that kept changing their minds constantly about wanting a home or not wanting the home....a deal finally went through and he and his staff were so kind to these particular people...they have more patience than I do. I recommend Joel to everyone because I know they will be in good hands.

Hubris and Lacking Of Compasion

It is rare you will even see Mr Cohen as his staff does all the work. At the time of my closing he did enter the room for a few brief moments to introduce himself. He was rather smug and condescending to all the parties involved and left us all wishing we used different representation. My real esta...te agent mentioned he will stop sending clients his way after having had several bad experiences including this one.

Dear Anonymous. I do work with my paralegal staff as a team. Each have over 20 years of experience. I review and supervise everything that goes in and out of the office. We strive to give the best service and attention possible. Please contact me directly to discuss your impressions in person. I certainly do not feel that my services are anything but the most attentive and supportive of my clients' matters. Thanks.

  • 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.
