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.

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Federal regulation lawyer | Jan 20

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."

James Sexton

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.
