Stay far far away

I saw another review made by somebody that had a horrible experience. I want to save potential future. Clients considering this Lawyer for child custody matters because most likely you will lose your child with this attorney and the case and most likely he will call you crazy because he does not want... to work or look at the bigger picture or fight for the truth I recommend. Looking for a REAL LOYER because this is not it On the other hand, hopefully the other council will have this attorney so that is an advantage but if you are having this attorney represent you, you might as well just for your rights while paying him

Posted by Matthew | December 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Mr.

Avi Cohen was recommended to me by a friend. I needed a good attorney to end my divorce. I was stressed out to the max and Avi told me "follow my lead and do what I say and everything will be fine". Mr Cohen experience and expertise in family law made this tough time in my life easier. I was ready to... throw in the towel and give my wife what she wanted instead of what was fair and Avi would not allow that. That was when I saw the "PITBULL" side of Avi. So I decided to move over into the passenger seat and let him drive and take the lead. He was tough when needed to be and relentless in not allowing me to be screwed in any way. My divorce ended with a fair settlement that I was happy with and able to live with. The best part of this process was I made a friend for life. I would definitely, 100%, without hesitation recommend Avi if any of my friends need an attorney.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Avi has been a great pleasure to work with. When I first consulted with him, he was realistic with my expectations and the timeline of how personal injury cases get resolved. He is straight forward and maintained constant communication with me in regards to the status of my case. I am ex...tremely happy with the outcome and the settlement amount Attorney Avi was able to secure. I couldn't ask for a better attorney!
