Who's better then Avi ?

I can tell you, no one. Avi took the time to explain the tough process ahead, the potential pitfalls and the various options. He made himself available at all times and no questions went unanswered as I was an active participant start to finish. I highly recommend Avi, he's professional, experienced ...and cares.

phenomenal attorney

Avi assisted me in my personal injury claim as a result of a motor vehicle accident. He is a phenomenal lawyer who was expeditious in starting the process, responding to any of my correspondence, and more importantly the settlement.

Accident

What Avi had done was extraordinary. He had helped me every step of the way when I had my car accident. He answered every question I had and always kept me updated on all events that took place in the case from paperwork that needed to be filled out and sent to locations of physical therapy.

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.

Divorce is hard....

.....but attorneys like Avi make the process tempting to do more than once. One of the best decisions I've made in 2015 was retaining Avi as my attorney. What I admire most about him is his humanity. You're not just a number or a paycheck. Calls, emails and texts are always answered in a timely manne...r and he always take the time to explain whatever need to be explained without making you feel stupid. He's understanding, caring, funny, and super hard-ass in court. I'm not ecstatic about my end results but I'm glad i had him in my corner.
