New York's FINEST Law Firm

I can say with confidence The Avi Cohen Law Firm, is the Top Law Firm in NY. I am a retired NYPD Police Officer & was referred to Avi Cohen through a highly respected Private Investigator I know, & I still can't thank him enough for pointing me in the right direction. Avi Cohen got me all the record...s I needed for my case, before the defendant knew what hit them, and has connections to all of NY's top Private Investigators. Avi can find a needle in a needle in a haystack, and he certainly did in my case. The case I had was against one of the biggest National Commercial Banks in the country. I called other firms in NY to see if they could help me, and was rejected each time, or they wanted a large retainer fee, and charge me a very high hourly rate. Once I met Avi, He really took the time to listen and hear me out. He didn't charge me a consultation fee, and provides all his clients with a personal service you'd expect from a family member. No matter how many times I called Avi Cohen on his personal cell phone number with new info on the case, Avi would always get right back to me, and never charged a dime, no matter how long we talked. I always dealt with Avi, not a Paralegal like you do with some other firms. I've never met a more focused, tough as nails & highly intelligent attorney in my life, and believe me, I've dealt with them all in my former line of work. Nobody knows all types of Laws better than Avi Cohen. He's a litigator no other Attorney wants to see on the other side, or piss off. He's like a Pitt bull when it comes to protecting his clients. It took Avi a week to figure out my case, and he agreed to take it. He mapped out a long term plan and guaranteed me a successfully outcome. True to his word, he settled the case to my great satisfaction without going through the long drawn out process of Supreme Court. Whatever type of case you have, or if you ever find yourself in a jam, Avi Cohen is the Attorney you need to call.

Excellent lawyer, professional, fast results!!

Avi has been the best lawyer I've ever had! He's extremely nice, genuinely cares about your well being and took care of me and my husband. He stayed in touch, was very knowledgable and generous. He surprised us with little presents and even hooked us up with free tickets to a Knicks game!! Most impor...tantly he settled my case in less than a year, which really was very impressive since most cases can last years before coming to a settlement. He really went above and beyond what I thought we were going to get from the lawsuit!! Avi thank you so much for helping me and my husband, I would reccomend you 100% and will call you again in the future!!

Posted by Daryl | March 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Fantastic Lawyer!

Avi was one of the best lawyers I have ever hired. He is very attentive, knowledgeable, tenacious and compassionate. When I had explained my circumstance, He immediately sprung into action and went to work with one goal, to have my children returned home. Avi did all the leg work and revealed thin...gs that were happening to my children that I would have never known. Before I knew it, Avi did exactly what he had promised and that was to have my children returned back to me. To this day, Avi on occasion checks in to see how things are going. What else can I say, but if you want someone thorough, efficient and effective, give Avi Cohen a call. Thank you Avi for restoring wholeness to our home.
