A complicated case with a positive outcome....Andrew G.

My experience with Jill Cohen went well. The price was fair, and the representation was acceptable. Being that the charges brought against me were in a municipality that I have a history with, and a Prosecutor that is as tough as nails and is rarely known to drop or downgrade anything that could hav...e resulted in jail or prison time, she was able to work it out so that I walked away with only a fine, and a six month (non-reporting) probation period. Considering the case involved a stolen vehicle, a driving on a revoked, and several other complications, I was satisfied and relieved with the outcome. Now I can go forward with my life and focus on my sobriety and my future. Another great thing about Jill is that she clearly has compassion for those who are struggling in addiction and understands that addiction can lead good people to make mistakes, and that a good outcome in court can be what makes or breaks their future. I'm very happy with everything and I would suggest to others that she be on the top of their list when attorney shopping. She's experienced and she knows the system well. Thank you Jill!

Exceptional lawyer with a good heart

I helped my brother find a lawyer, for charges filed against him by his crazy ex,(bro was innocent and we had several proofs to support that). We consulted multiple lawyers,and when we talked to Attorney Jill,my gut told me "she is the right one and the lawyer we have been praying for". She knows th...e system in court,very up front to the client,charges reasonably, and has a very good heart .She was able to downgrade 2 of the serious charges to less charges ,into cases being dismissed within the time frame she promised us. Me and my brother highly recommend Jill.It is worth hiring her. She is God-sent and the answer to our prayers!

Not guilty verdict

My brother was facing a charge I knew he was innocent and I hired two other attorneys and for a child molestation charge is very difficult and I prayed so hard to get the right attorney on this case and I ran across Mrs.Cohen office remind you , Mrs Cohen is over an hour from Hudson County and I didn...'t want any more attorneys in this town, Jill took the case and traveled for all court dates, the prosecutor knew Jill know how they work and we went to trial, Jill Cohen show the jurors all mistakes and lies was told. Trial is very scary no matter what , after Jill Cohen questioned all the witnesses to the point of doubt, I was so proud of Mrs Cohen because this was a new country for Mrs Cohen and she showed them she knows her law.. She won the case and I can't say enough I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I recommend Mrs Jill Cohen to anyone they need a lawyer that knows the law and not to get rail road,. God is Good

Best of the best!

Jill came recommended to us, and I couldn’t be happier with her! When I found myself in need of a criminal defense attorney for a family member, it was a scary, unfamiliar experience. Jill took the time to explain everything each step of the way. While the situation itself will always cause une...ase, she made it a lot less scary. Jill made sure we understood every possible scenario so we could make an informed decision on how to proceed. She is very down-to-earth and extremely easy to talk to. Jill spent a lot of time making sure she understood every aspect of our case; she genuinely cared about the outcome and not just her compensation. Hopefully I’ll never need a defense attorney again, but if I do – I’ll be hiring Jill R. Cohen!
