About Avi
Biography
Having practiced in this field for nearly a decade, the NUMBER ONE complaint I hear about attorneys is the lack of trust and "my attorney bills me for going to the bathroom."
My clients are refreshingly surprised to hear I do not bill for telephone calls with them. In order to properly develop a long-lasting and trusting relationship, I don't feel comfortable billing for these conversations. My clients should feel free to call me when they have questions without feeling pressure that they're "on the clock."

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.
