Posted by Diane | January 02, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

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.

RARE FIND

Moskowitz Law Group, Attorney Steven Cohen was the most educated and responsible decision I have ever made in my life. I avoided this law firm at first due to the retainer which was a HUGE mistake. I found out just how quickly you get what you pay for. I wasted $3500 for an attorney, who did absolut...ely nothing and my child was taken from me for 7 months due to false allegations. Upon hiring Steven, I was made to feel at home right away. His extensive knowledge and experience was instantly noticed. Whats even more comforting is that you can feel his compassion and sympathy. Its almost like conversing with a friend. From the start, I had no doubt in his ability and professionalism would get me through the difficult times I endured and was still facing. To make a long story short, I have had Pudding Face for the last 24 hours. Steven went ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I would have ever expected. He turned all the wrongs into right and the past 7-9 months are a memory I will not be reliving. I feel like I have had a cement truck lifted off of my shoulders and myself, my wonderful girlfriend and most importantly, my child can move forward with life. The only negative thing I can say about him is that he's a Giants fan. If you can get past that, you'll be ok. I know this firm offers a free 30 minute consultation. You have zero to lose and I would not hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone. I have only met one other lawyer from this firm but with Lawyers like Steven on their staff, I can blindly say with 100% certainty I would hire any of them without question. Plus, they have all you can eat Jolly Ranchers with ALOT of Watermelon mixed in. If you don't like Watermelon Jolly Ranchers, theres something wrong with you. Steven, From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you have done for us. You will never know how much it was appreciated and well be forever grateful. You are the man!!!!
