Best attorney I have ever dealt with

We hired Martin for a custody case. Ex wife was horrific she had custody for many yrs! Kids were removed from her custody within a few months of filing. Martin was professional, on time, took no crap from the other side. Best legal experience we have had.

Overcharged with no results- Stay away

I really needed a great attorney in a very difficult post matrimonial issue and Marty did not perform. He did not follow up on motions filed and was very unprofessional leaving me worse off than before I engaged him. Additionally, his fees are ridiculous. Stay away

Coming from somebody who has never needed a Lawyer before

For somebody who has never needed a lawyer before, unfortunately i got involved in a horrible custody battle that is still ongoing, I have been using Martin Johnson for almost 6 years now, with me having no knowledge of the rigors of court or what to expect in a messy battle, I couldn't imagine hav...ing anybody better than Martin Johnson, I am a man with disabilities and was nervous about being in a court room and what to do, Martin Johnson, couldn't have walked me through it better, couldn't have prepared me better, couldn't have represented me better, not only have we done well in court, the only concern i have going forward would be if I didn't have Martin Johnson and his staff in my corner, unfortunately i have had one or 2 other lawsuits in the past few years, not in family court, where i had to deal with other attorneys, there professionalism , accessibility, preparation, etc, was not as i expected because i was used to Martin Johnson who goes above and beyond in every way imaginable!! it might seem like im giving high praises ,that because I am, and they are well deserved, 6 years in and counting I couldn't recommend him any higher

The BEST!

My experience with Johnson & Cohen was excellent. My attorney Marty Johnson gave me and my case all the time and attention that was needed to always be successful in court. Marty looked out for my best interest, he was calming, confident and professional to the end. I am so grateful to have him as an... attorney and now as my friend - I highly recommend his services! Marty is the BEST.

5 STARS

Mr. Johnson recently represented me. This has been the most difficult time of my life and he was nothing short of amazing. His knowledge of the law, experience, fairness and compassion helped make a tremendously difficult time manageable and productive. He exceeded all expectations and is certainly ...the way to go!

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."

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.
