Highly Recommend

I worked with Caroline in the tenant/landlord case. She was professional and cordial but persistent in helping me get the desired outcome. Overall, a pleasant and positive experience.

Highly Recommend

Upon hiring Caroline as my advocate, I immediately felt a burden lifted. Caroline takes an empathetic approach to her work, which I very much appreciated while navigating such a stressful situation that involved the landlord, insurance, and other building tenants. She is easily accessible, takes th...e time to explain everything in detail, and also listens to any concerns you have without casting judgement. I also appreciated the fact that she did not try to overcharge me for minor interactions, which I'm sure other lawyers would, and was mindful about delegating certain tasks to paralegals to help save me some money. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a competent lawyer who provides peace of mind.

Highly Recommend

From the moment I was put in touch with Caroline, she was professional, reassuring, thorough and diligent in working with me on my landlord/tenant case. She listened carefully to every detail of my case, asked questions when necessary, and always kept me in the loop with her progress on the case. In ...addition to her legal expertise, she was extremely compassionate, understanding and clear-headed -- which did wonders to help me during a very stressful period of my life. I highly recommend her, especially with cases that may have difficult or extenuating circumstances.

Excellent representation

I was referred to Ms. Piela Cohen through an online forum and I couldn't be more pleased with her representation. From our first conversation I knew I could trust her and I had complete confidence in her as an attorney. She is very professional and yet friendly and caring. Throughout the case she wa...s thorough, helpful, quick to respond, and hard working. She listened to my concerns and was honest and thoughtful in our conversations. I was very pleased with how communicative she was during this process. She worked hard throughout my maternity leave discrimination case and I am pleased with the results. I would highly recommend her as an attorney.

I wish there was a review when I hired this attorney

Ms. Piela may mean well, but she failed to represent my case adequately, likely for lack of expertise. She advised me wrongly while charging me exorbitant fees. I hired another attorney for a tenth ( ! ) of the price she charged, and their work is incredible. Now my case has finally flipped in my fa...vor. Sometimes the people who are supposed to help you, actually take advantage of you the most. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney.

Good afternoon- I have not ever represented any "Michelle R." If this is an actual former client, I encourage you to please reach out to me directly with your concerns. I am extremely confident in my ability and integrity. As an aside, I do not know of any L&T attorney worth their salt who would charge a flat fee for litigation, so readers please beware.
