Great attorney

Mitchell and his team were great. Mitchell always responded to emails promptly. When in court he was sure to get my agenda across to the judge. He got me a great deal. He is very professional and to the point , really works hard for his client

Divorce

Mitchell was the one (and only) lawyer recommended to me by a marriage counselor I knew. I am so pleased he was that recommendation. During the entirety of my divorce, I felt well represented. He patiently and calmly answered all of my questions and made sure I understood all aspects of a process whi...ch is foreign to most people. I have already referred friends to him and I’m sure I will continue to do so in the future.

Strategically minded & delivers results

I have seen for myself that Mitchell Cohen is an extremely effective lawyer. He is strategically minded with a steadfast focus on those things that deliver results. Rather than simply recommending things and expecting me to follow blindly, he would walk me through the thought process behind the recom...mendation. I have read on one of these reviews that a person has mentioned Mr. Cohen was non-judgemental. I can certainly attest that. I was also pleasantly shocked at how mindful he was with where he spent his time on my case so that it was time well spent. He is purposeful, ethical and effective. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my lawyer through a challenging situation and wish I had retained him from the start years ago.

Single and Satisfied

I met Mitchell Cohen during a very contentious divorce. Due to the inaction and high expense of my then current counsel, I switched to Mitch. I was immediately impressed and continued to be thru the completion of the signed Divorce Judgement. Mitch is time efficient, detailed oriented and sensitive... to his clients. He demonstrated legal competence and good common sense in the face of opposing attorney. My ex-husband's attorney was argumentative and tried to extend this matter longer than necessary. Glad I found Mitch.

Divorce

When I went to meet Mitch for a consultation, i was very confused and emotional not knowing if divorce or a separation was the right move. I left him with very useful information which helped make my decision. In the beginning i was making choices that clearly where wrong. Even though he knew it... he let me go though it without judgement. I have to say that he treated me like i was a member of his family with patience, kindness, and compassion. He was always looking out for my best interest and i truly feel that he was always two steps ahead of my ex's lawyer. I am so glad that i had Mitch on my side during this really hard time.

"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."

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."
