The Top of His Breed

I consulted with Avi Cohen and learned he is a proficient and diligent attorney. I also referred a client to him, and he prevailed for her. He's reliable, proactive, and thorough. Last but not least, he's understanding and personable. His briefs are exceptionally well written and compellingly persua...sive.

Represented by Mr. Cohen in Personal Injury Case

I had a fall in 2017. I hired Mr. Cohen to represent me, and my case was just settled. He and his able assistant, Suzanne, did a good job, and I am satisfied with the settlement I received.

Our Day In Court

Avi is a caring and diligent Attorney. I felt very confident having him defend my case before we walked into the court room and after experiencing how well he kept control of the proceedings and kept my best interests his utmost goal was impressive and comforting at such a stressful time. I would hi...ghly recommend Avid Cohen if you are looking for qualified, Caring, Professional and Quality Attorney to represent you and your case.

Best lawyer ever!

I was going through a tough time. Found out my ex-wife using me for a green card and falsely accused me of things I didn't do. I thought I was finished because men always lose in Divorce Court. Then I walked into Avi Cohen's office and he gave me a ray of hope. He gave it to me straight and told ...me what I needed to do. On my court date he got my case settled before even seeing a judge. I got what I wanted from the settlement and then some. I knew I hired the right lawyer the minute I walked into his office. He's tough, smart and can you make you laugh when times look dark!

Painstakingly honest. Great guy

He got me a settlement in under a year and a half. He kept me in loop at times, he isn't dismissive.. He has great instincts. He is very clear, helpful and guiding... he really helped my family in the immediate aftermath of the accident I was involved in. He was very supportive and reassuring that h...e would do what he could to get me back on my feet and that is exactly what he did. He is a great person to deal with.

  • 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.
