Thank you very much Albert!
Albert Cohen is a great estate attorney. He's settled my New York probate without any hassle. He is a friendly person and very professional, his staff as well. When we went together to court, it seemed that other attorneys and the judge knew who he was, which made me feel confident in my case. Thank you for helping me out.
Response from Albert Cohen August 16, 2013

Great person and excellent attorney
Albert Cohen was recommended to me by my CPA of 40 years when I came into some money and needed to make changes. After quick, clear, responsive conversation by phone, I felt comfortable enough to hire him from out of town, because I would not return to New York for several more weeks. He commenced to produce the package of documents tailored to my needs at once. They were finished and waiting when I got home. His rates - flat for part and hourly for another part - were reasonable and in the end, I felt were terrific value for money. I look forward to working with Albert for a long time, and have thanked my CPA for the referral.
