Simply the Best

I was stuck in a contentious divorce and had nearly lost hope with the trajectory of my case. I initially hired a different lawyer, who clearly had no interest in his clients unless their case seemed profitable. When I found Avi Cohen everything changed. Avi is an incredible lawyer. In the lowest poi...nt of my life he cared for my case, for myself as a person, and for the wellbeing of my children. We involved a children's attorney, as he advised, and it made all the difference. He is also very understanding and takes one's financial standing into consideration. I never felt any financial pressure with him and I felt he treated me with great dignity. He advocated for myself and for my children while maintaining a positive attitude and respect for everyone involved. In the end, Avi has a great skill for finding the best solution given your unique circumstances and is unafraid to offer his level-headed honest advice (he also has a great sense of humor). The only thing I would have done differently in this divorce was to ditch my previous lawyer altogether and start with Avi sooner.

He is a bad attorney-who is very good with social media

I hired Avi Cohen through an ad in a local paper touting him as one of NY's best attorneys. He sent a petition to me to review before sending it to the court. I marked up the document and sent it back. He sent this marked-up version with words crossed out and my handwritten notes to the court. He was... weak and timid before the judge. I fired him before the retainer was used up. His bill included time spent during the free consultation. He refused to refund the retainer. When he finally did send my money back he held 3% for credit card processing.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I have no clue who you are and I have never submitted unedited documents. I guess if you do not want to put your name out there, I apologize that things did not work out and wish you the best of luck! Can't make everyone happy I guess...

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 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!

Traffic Violation Representation

Avi represented me for speeding ticket in North Hills Village court. He was able to reduce the ticket to non-moving violation with Zero point. Fine was nominal compare to what I had to pay if I pleaded guilty. Avi, is nice to talk to and explains all the options available. He is a people person, ...ready to assist. I highly recommend Avi Cohen for legal services.
