I hired David Cohen during a very tough point in my life. My legal challenges were serious and nerve wrecking . He handled my cases with great professionalism and knowledge of the system. David was easy to communicate with and was always available for consultation and questions. He took the time to t...horoughly explain my options and ensured that I understood the process and possible outcomes. My cases were concluded with the best results!!! I recommend his services to anyone looking for a phenomenal lawyer. He is trustworthy, works to DEFEND his clients, and actually cares about the case outcome. He also has a great rapport and is well respected by court staff. He had my best interest at heart and was so supportive. I will forever be truly grateful to have hired such a skilled attorney.

I am an immigration attorney based in Los Angeles. Recently, while preparing an application for a client, we hit a snag - he had an outstanding bench warrant from 2001 in New York City. It had to be fixed ASAP or my client was going to miss out on a big work opportunity. I was fortunate to be refer...red to CFB and David Cohen through a colleague. David Cohen's quick action, understanding, and expertise saved the day. Despite being a total stranger to David, he was on the phone with me within minutes of being introduced by email. He immediately understood the situation and had a plan to expedite the solution. He was, at all times, friendly, courteous, empathetic and professional - I had great confidence that our New York criminal court matter was in skilled hands. In just a few days, David was able to use his criminal law expertise and his connections with local Courts to not only get this 2001 file back onto the Court's radar, but to get the situation fully resolved - much to my client's relief. This file could have languished on a lawyer's desk and in Court processing for weeks or months, but David made it his priority and got the job done right away. I could not have asked for a better legal outcome for my client or a better professional and personal experience. As an attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend David Cohen and his firm to anyone who needs criminal law expertise in New York.

Unsolicited, a public defender told me that David Cohen is “among the best defense attorneys in New York.” Distraught and skeptical, I called his firm, Cohen Forman Barone, and spoke with him. During that phone call, David gave me what I needed most—hope. Walking through the courthouse, I witnesse...d what is well-known: David Cohen is renowned. Employees, colleagues, and friends greeted him as we made our way to the courtroom. Once inside, David commanded the respect of the judge and the prosecutor. Standing by my side was my champion, metaphorical sword and shield in hand. My case was intricate, yet David recognized its disparates and crafted a cohesive defense. But my cause wasn’t won by legal skill alone. Indispensable to that defense was a singular fact: David understands people. His rapport with the opposition was victory's sine qua non. I owe my freedom to David Cohen. Why entrust your future to anyone else?

In the beginning, the first attorney I saw said, “If I were you, there is only one attorney I would want to defend me, and that is David Cohen. If you’re lucky enough, he’ll take your case. I consider him to be among the best defense attorneys in New York, perhaps the very best.” So I met with Dav...id. After a thorough consultation, he took my case. One of the first things he said was “I am not the type of attorney who will take your money then throw you to the wolves. I will work for you until the very end.” He did just that, calling the DA’s office continually, making frequent visits, and sending them letters. He constantly kept the pressure on. One assistant DA said, “I’ve never seen a defense attorney take such a personal interest in a case in all the years I’ve practiced law.” David always answered any questions I asked. He is peerless and, I believe, really cares for me as a person. It was a long road, but in the end, charges were dismissed. The outcome was outstanding. David, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back.
