Highly recommended

I have needed Mark's services on several occasions and each time he was a consummate professional. Punctual, knowledgeable, well connected and always available. The only attorney to work with when things look bleak!

Attorney

Mark represented my son recently and he was very professional and guided us every step of the way. Mark was always positive while at the same time letting us know what could take place at any given time. He was able to help my son get a fair chance and when things got a little rough he never gave up.... I would recommend Mark to everyone because during the whole time my son was in court he helped us have some hope. He was always on time and told us what we were facing before my son was in front of the judge. Being that it was a first time for us we were in great hands. Thank you Mark

Amazing Lawyer

Mark Cohen was reccomended to me by a friend after I had got into some legal trouble in New York City. Mr. Cohen is the epitome of professionalism and I would happily reccomend him to anyone that is in need of an attorney. Mr. Cohen was intensely persistent in my case and provided the results I desir...ed incredibly fast.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
