5 stars is not enough

Five Stars Are Not Enough! Working with Steve Cohen has been a life-changing experience. From the very beginning, he brought not only unmatched legal expertise but also a level of compassion and dedication that is rare to find. Navigating a child custody case is one of the most emotionally challen...ging journeys any parent can face, but Steve made me feel supported every step of the way. He was always accessible, responsive, and truly took the time to understand the unique dynamics of my situation. What impressed me most was his ability to remain calm and focused, even when things got tense. His strategic thinking, attention to detail, and powerful presence in court gave me a sense of peace and confidence I didn’t think was possible. Thanks to Steve Cohen, not only did I receive a favorable outcome, but I also felt heard, valued, and respected throughout the entire process. He fought for what was right with integrity and heart—and I will forever be grateful for the impact he’s had on my family’s future. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares and will go above and beyond to fight for your child’s best interests, look no further. Steve Cohen is simply phenomenal.

Highly knowledgeable and insightful; problem solving/prevention specialist

I almost want to nickname Steven Cohen as the “Comeback Kid” for my case. When I was served pretty aggressive divorce papers, I panicked and hired an attorney whom I eventually learned was highly inexperienced and incompetent in divorce /custody cases. I wasted a lot of time and money on that guy unt...il a friend recommended Mr. Steven Cohen. During my consultation with Steven, it immediately felt like I was in the right hands and someone actually knew what was going wrong and had the knowledge to fix it. I had other consultations before and one lawyer told me to stop crying and the other told me he’d only take on my case if I could prove I had $30,000 in my savings to cover the fees. Steven Cohen was not only a superior attorney when it came to knowing the law, but his compassion and encouragement towards me, as a client, was unexpected; he knew how to gently, but firmly tell me to when to let things or when I needed to get my $&@! together. Divorce is painful enough without dealing with who you can trust with your best interests. I can honestly say I that I always felt like Steven went above and beyond to protect my rights and never gave up on what I was entitled to. I can imagine how many times he’s had to answer the same questions from clients over and over again but Mr. Cohen never made me feel like I was asking a stupid question nor did he ever lose his patience with me. It’s incredibly scary to go through something like this for the first time and I can’t say there are many clients who come out it and consider their attorney more of a friend or life coach. I would recommend Steven Cohen over and over to anyone who has to go through the confusing and stressful process.

Child custody

It was a pleasure to work with Steven Cohen. In this difficult time, his responsiveness and calm nature were extremely helpful to me. It would be a pleasure to recommend him to anyone. My child custody case was handled by him, and his composed demeanor helped me explore my options before the hearing.... Communication with him was never rushed, and emails were returned promptly.

Great attorney

I retained the services of Moskowitz Law Group. LLC when I was going through my divorce. The founding partner, Galit Moskowitz, referred me to one of her associates Steven Cohen. Steven managed my file through various difficult proceedings in the last three years. He was always mindful of my needs an...d was strategically and professionally fighting to represent my voice in the best way. He successfully negotiated the terms of my spousal and child support. He has also successfully represented me in a court proceeding when my ex tried to, unjustifiably, take my parental rights away from me. About half a year ago, due to a change in my circumstances, he again successfully re-negotiated the terms of my child visitation agreement. Steven gave me the comfort and confidence that I needed while going through a difficult process of a divorce. He is a true professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to be represented and feels that the legal system or the ex are unfair in their demands. Thank you Steven for all your help and I wish you the same success in future cases.

Caring and Compassionate

I hired Steven Cohen to help me navigate a very complicated case involving my abusive ex. Going into this, I was absolutely terrified about what would happen. Mr. Cohen was extremely helpful and professional while also being incredibly comforting throughout the whole ordeal. He genuinely cared about ...my cause and did everything he could to ensure that I got a good outcome. He was willing to go above and beyond to help me and I am extremely grateful to him for helping me resolve my case in New Jersey.
