Divorce

Mitchell Cohen did an outstanding job for me in finalizing my divorce. I had 2 other lawyers before I was referred to Mitchell Cohen and they did nothing for me but send me a bill. It is very important to get a very good attorney at the beginning that will save you time, money and grief. Do not ma...ke the costly and stressful mistakes I made, go to Mitchell Cohen first and you will be a fortunate and happy client even in these difficult situations.

The Best Divorce Lawyer Ever

Mitchell Cohen was my lawyer for a very difficult divorce. I had a ruthless spouse who hired an impossible lawyer who was constantly prolonging the process and who made irresponsible and ridiculous accusations. Mitchell Cohen was always firm, calm, respectful, never ruffled, supportive and his advice... was always right. He returned all calls quickly. He is beyond knowledgeable and was responsible for getting me the very best settlement possible despite the cast of characters. It surpassed all my expectations. He is diplomatic with judges and other lawyers and has excellent relationships with them and is highly respected by the legal community. He has won multiple awards for excellence. I hold Mr Cohen in the highest regard and am extremely grateful to him.

Finally Helped where no one could before!!!

Mr. Cohen helped me to expedite a child support issue that had lingered for years. His professionalism and quick response to my problem helped resolve this issue when I have paid other attorneys and got no results!!! Thank you again. Look no further this is the right place to be!!!!!

Thank you, Mitchell

I used Mitchell for my divorce after struggling with another attorney for years. Mitchell got the divorce within months and also sued my previous attorney (!) for overcharging me. I got back a significant amount of cash. He is excellent.

Posted by Marlene | January 14, 2014 | Family

Excellent lawyer - highly recommended!!!

Mitchell Cohen is everything a lawyer should be. I always felt that he had my best interest in mind and respected my personal preferences while he represented me. It is obvious that he is highly regarded by his peers, is always professional and shows compassion when dealing with sensitive family ma...tters.

"Mitch is by far the most calm, cool and collected attorney I have ever met. He is smart, beyond effective and well respected. I hope I never need a divorce but if I did I would want him to represent me."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

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.
