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.

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.

Best Attorney!!

After an intense search and several consultations with different lawyers at a very critical moment and full of anguish and uncertainty in my life I decided to hire the services of Mr. Steven Cohen and his Firm: Moskowitz Law Group. I am very proud of myself for having made the decision to hire the se...rvices of Mr. Cohen to represent me in my divorce… I have to say that it was very nasty and Steven had to fight very hard to not let my ex-husband get away with his intentions of leaving us (my kids and I) on the street with nothing after eleven years of marriage. Steven fought for me and my family and I was very relief with the results. Steven, is a professional and intelligent lawyer who you can trust and with whom you can be completely sure that you will be very well represented. With the human, patient and compassionate side of Steven (believe me at this stage of your life this is very important and very helpful) makes you feel that you are not alone and that you and your loved ones will be fine. I do not regret having made the decision to leave my divorce (financial stability) in the hands of Mr. Steven Cohen. I highly recommend Mr. Cohen for any case related to your family and I promise you won’t be disappointed! Por mucho tiempo estuve en consultas con muchos profesionales buscando al abogado correcto, no solo para que me represente en mi divorcio (que por cierto fue muy dificil ya que mi ex queria dejarnos a mi y a mis hijos en la calle sin nada despues de once años de matrimonio) sino tambien para que me apoye, me comprenda y me de la seguridad de que mis hijos y yo ibamos a estar bien. Estoy orgullosa de mi misma al no haberme equivocado de contratar los servicios del Sr. Steven Cohen d ela Firma de Abogados Moskowitz Law Group. Steven es un abogado professional, compasivo y paciente que te da la seguridad de que todo va a estar bien….de que tu y tu familia estaran bien! Si estas buscando los servicios de un abogado para que te represente, defienda y pelee por los intereses tuyos y el de tus hijos ya no tienes que seguir buscando porque Steven estara ahi para escucharte y defenderte. No te vas a arrepentir si decides contratar los servicios del Sr. Steven Cohen!!

Excellent Attorney

Steve is a common sense, logical and ethical family attorney. He gave me common sense and logical advise during the divorce process. His advise helped me to keep my divorce costs low and to quickly divorce. In case you need a divorce attorney, Steve is the attorney you want on your side.

Rising Star

Steven helped me restore my parental rights and through a difficult divorce. From the first day I began working with him, I could tell Steven was on top of everything. He was professional, knowledgable, patient and a great advisor. Having him as my attorney helped restore my faith that I would be alr...ight. The divorce process for me was a lengthy and painful process. Steven is the reason I made it through.
