Michael Alan Cohen

I've spoken to a lot of lawyers during my Lord of the Rings style quest for divorce information. Some have been courteous and given me a moment of their time. Some have point blank refused the second they think there's a possibility I won't be useful to them. Michael is one of the few with the kindne...ss and patience to go through my case like a human being. He listened, he talked, and at the end, he recommended I pursued my case in a different state. Anyone who puts the time in to recommend you don't do business with them is the type of person I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doing business with. In a world of sharks, he is a dophin - agile, kind, and every bit as smiley as his picture shows. Talk to him!

Michael was a lifesaver when I was dealing with post-divorce parental alienation. He understood what I and my kids were going through and had the knowledge and experience to navigate through the dysfunctional NYS court system. He also had the wisdom and morality to advise me that in some cases my mon...ey would be ill-spent when he could have charged me for services. If you need a divorce attorney, mediator, or help with any post-judgement issue, Michael Cohen is your man!

Despite all of the emotional baggage, negativity and stress that comes with a divorce Michael is highly-effective at focusing on the getting though the divorce with least amount of collateral damage. I believe that we (Michael and I) came out of my divorce successfully. It's not winning, it's a...bout coming out of it fairly. In my case, we have two young children involved. Michael and I developed a strategy and we stuck by it throughout the emotional roller coaster known as a divorce proceeding. Although the proceeding took a bit longer to execute than it should have (thanks to the flip-flopping of the other side), we finally got it done. Finances and kids fairly handled. Little to no collateral damage from the divorce proceedings. One comment that Michael made early on that impacted me is that a divorce is a business separation. Said another way, I/you need to look at divorce as a separation of a business-- nothing personal; it's only business. Anytime I found myself getting a little emotionally charged-up, I would remind myself, "this is just business." Beyond that, Michael is very knowledgeable and adept at providing the pros and cons for every question, option or scenario to help guide me (or you) through this journey. Most importantly, he knows the law. He was patient, kind, and really enabled me (or you) to make the best decisions with all of the information in front of you. Michael was not interested in starting World War 3 between you and your spouse if unwarranted, but he surely did not suffer fools lightly. If the opposing lawyer made poor comments, motions, etc. he was quick and aggressive to nip that in the butt. Anytime we hit some turbulence with the opposing lawyer, it was extinguished. I would strongly recommend Michael to another and I have already done so. I would certainly use him again, but I hope that I won't need to.

I used Michael for my divorce. He was my second attorney and what a difference he made from the first attorney. Whenever I called Michael he always either answered his phone or got back to me right away. He fought very hard for me and got my case settled as quick as he could. He also didn't bill me f...or every minute he could. I called him many times to ask him questions and he answered my questions and spent time on the phone with me and didn't chsrge me a penny. He made a difficult time much easier for me.

Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthily. As a Male facing a divorce and/or custody battle, the cards are stacked against us before entering court, "it is what it is", but Mr. Cohen somehow eases the pain without increasing the stress levels. In other words, he doesn't add lighter fluid to red hot b...riquettes... Most of all, Mr. Cohen is not a Thief as many of them are! Thanks again for your help Bobby
