Perfect Divorce Representation

Would recommend Mitch Cohen without any hesitation or equivocation -- he handled my complicated and potentially volatile divorce perfectly. I came to him wary of lawyers, in general, and found him to be expert on a range of matters -- very capable of calming my unwarranted concerns while at the same... time pointing out areas that warranted greater attention. A terrific coach without becoming a "therapist". Exceptionally sensible and efficient w/ his time -- I never felt the "clock" running inappropriately; not for a second. Greatly exceeded expectations in all parameters. I really didn't know it was possible to find a divorce lawyer of his calibre.

Outstanding Attorney

Mitch Cohen combines professional excellence, legal expertise, and care for his clients in a way that is unparalleled in my experience. Meticulous in his knowledge of the law (and, frankly, of human nature), he always gave me excellent legal advice in the face of very fraught and contentious circums...tances. His sense of both the long game and the short game helped me to come away with the best possible outcome at each turn. He also has a calm, cool demeanor that is extremely effective both in negotiations and in court proceedings. When he speaks, it is with the authoritative backing of a deep understanding of the details of the case and the relevant case law, and he has an amazing talent for saying just the right thing at just the right time. It was clear throughout my time working with him that the judge, the AFCs, and even the opposing counsel had tremendous respect for him. On more than one occasion, with a single sentence, he was able to direct the course of an entire court conference. During what has easily been the most traumatic period of my life, Mitch was my constant counsel, advocate, and champion, and I could not have had someone better by my side.

The Best Divorce Lawyer Ever

Mr. Cohen was an amazing lawyer who has helped me to survive a complex and contentious divorce. The case would have dragged on much longer and costed much more had Mr. Cohen not been my lawyer. He always sought the best outcome in the most efficient and expeditious way with my best interest in mind... Through his strategic planning and persistence, he brought an impossible case to a satisfactory end during the pandemic. His rigor, ethics and client focus earned the respect of his peers and the court. I am eternally grateful and would highly recommend his services.

Excellent Lawyer and So Supportive

Mitchell was recommended to me by my therapist and I am so thankful. He was supportive, always listened and responded to my concerns and provided great advice, some of which I wish I had taken earlier. The process is never fun, but knowing Mitchell had my back made it better.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mitch for the greater portion of 15 years. Mitch has always shown an ability to tackle the most difficult situations with a calm tempered demeanor which ultimately comforts the client and resolved matters that are ordinarily contentious. I consider Mitch and his firm to be the preeminent matrimonial firm in Westchester and Rockland County."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mitch Cohen is a very skilled matrimonial attorney. I have tried several matters against him and always found him to be a formidable adversary with a solid command of the law. He is a skilled trial lawyer and a tough negotiator. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced and ethical attorney for a divorce or other family law matter."

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.
