Life Saver

Before I hired Marty, my ex-wife was trying to take the children full time, every dollar I had and was making wild accusations. Within one week he restored order and calm back into my life. Going through a divorce that involves children can be as mentally draining as anything you will experience, let... me tell you right now, Marty Johnson will take your life back for you. Having him in your corner will change your life moving forward. Marty will NEVER let you get pushed around and will always get what is best for you and your children. I do not know where I would be without him.

MJTG

Let me start by saying, If you do not appreciate Marty Johnson as an attorney or Like Marty Johnson as a person; there is something fundamentally wrong with you. MJ was highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine from Fairfield, CT. I made an appointment and became his client 60 minutes after. ... MJ is sharp as a razer. He is honest and cares about his clients. He will not allow your child to be affected by your divorce!! MJ will do what is needed and at the right time. MJTG is the title I gave him, which stands for Martin Johnson The Great. MJ is respected and admired by everyone, from the moment you park your car in the garage, walk through security, in the elevators, in the hallways, and most important in the court room representing you before the Judge. MJ knows the law, which earned him another title by me; THE PROFESSOR. This is the best law firm and the best attorney you can possibly have in your corner. MJ is the Michael Jordan of matrimonial matters – Pun intended!

Mr. Johnson is a strong, no nonsense lawyer who gets things done. He is smart, experienced and relentless! He is well respected with peers and court system. I highly recommend Mr. Martin Johnson to anyone getting divorced. I hired him on a referral from another powerful Westchester lawyer who told me... Mr. Johnson would be their first choice. So glad I listened!!

Well Represented

I was a client of Martin Johnson @ Johnson and Cohen. I was just about to post a review when I read this recent review in front of mine. This is clearly some disgruntled, unhappy person or an adversary of Mr. Johnson. This is not who Marty Johnson is. The rest of the reviews on this site are an acc...urate picture of who Marty Johnson is. My experience with Marty and his firm was that he is very organized, aggressive (when needed), prepared and responsible. All of my issues were not only addressed but resolved. Divorcing is not a great experience, but having Marty and his firm at my back, I was relieved and confident. The Courts / Opposing Attorneys can hold up proceedings with adjournments, etc. but that is no reflection on my attorney. Shame on the person who misrepresented him in their review. If you need a top notch attorney, Martin Johnson is the attorney for you.

The G.O.A.T

A good friend once told me “Who you surround yourself with, is a reflection of who you are”. Mr. Johnson sets a very high bar. It has been a pleasure and honor to have Mr. Johnson represent me over the years - my divorce and what has turned out to be 2 post matrimonial matters brought by my ex-wife ...and her family. I’ll get right to the point because that is how Marty rolls, you either have Mr. Johnson in your corner or you don’t. Mr. Johnson is not simply the best, he is hands down the Greatest Of All Time. Walk the halls of the courthouse and into the courtroom with Mr. Johnson and you will observe that he is universally respected by everyone, from the other attorneys, judges and even the security guards. This respect is well deserved and has been earned over many years of hard work and success realized on behalf of his clients. I am forever grateful for Marty and thank him for serving me and my family so well.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked on a number of cases with Mr. Johnson as opposing counsel. He is a tough litigator and impressive negotiator with a courtroom presence and signature style that has earned him the respect of the bench and bar. He remains one of the most experienced divorce lawyers working in New York State and brings a wealth of experience to his cases. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a smart, skilled and ethical attorney in a complex family law matter."
