Juliet Cohen's Lawyer Endorsements
"Juliet is a wonderful attorney, hard-working, focused, and cognizant of her clients needs. She is a trusted advocate, reliable attorney, and great friend."
"I consulted Juliet with respect to a trust that my mother-in-law had set up prior to her recent demise. The trust included a house in which my mother-in-law had resided. I asked Juliet for help in drafting releases that will need to be signed upon the buyout by my wife and by my wife’s sister of their respective interests in this house, which is now owned and continues to be occupied by a third sister. The advice I received from Juliet was invaluable. She is not only very knowledgeable, she is patient and compassionate as well. These qualities are important in her field, since she must frequently encounter families in distress, families who, already reeling from the loss of a loved one, then have to deal with financial issues that tend to bring out the best and the worst in people. Juliet’s calmness and poise helped us to navigate these roiling waters."
