Dr

Extremely effective and intelligent attorney who is not looking to drain client’s financially. I had been through 4 attorneys previously, he’s the real deal

Smart, aggressive attorney of your side

Bob Cohen is the kind of attorney who you want in a matrimonial action. first of all, he takes your case very seriously and gives you personal attention. He makes sure to know every aspect of your case and of your personal situation. Bob and his firm know the applicable law and make sure that you...r rights and best interests are protected. He has great experience and knows his stuff. Mr. Cohen and his firm are very professional and will get you the most favorable results. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Cohen or his firm for any matrimonial or litigation case.

The Absolute Best !!

Bob was by my side every step of the way through my entire divorce. He was recommended to me and I would highly recommend Bob to anyone who unfortunately is getting divorced. I never once felt alone or unsure because he would immediately respond if I needed him, and explain things to me in a way th...at always made me feel safe. He understood that I was speaking from the emotional side and I understood that he was the legal side. He insured that we felt like a true partnership to get me my positive outcome at the end. I loved how tough he was with me when needed, his sense of humor when appropriate and how I never could’ve done this without losing my sanity and getting through my divorce without him. without him. Everyone in the entire firm was just as wonderful and professional as Bob. Hearing Ruth’s voice at reception would be the first to bring me comfort and then Denise always had all the answers if Bob was not available. A huge thank you to Robert Cohen and the entire firm of Tabot , Cohen, Blum , Yovino and Diesa !

Robert Cohen Review

Robert was highly recommended to me and he lived up to the referral as well as more. Bob takes the unknown out of the divorce process and approaches it head on while explaining the progress allowing the client to feel less overwhelmed. He is a negotiator, your best advocate as well as someone who wil...l get you to a settlement as quickly as possible. As his assistant said, " don't worry, he's got your back". Bob is considerate and respectful and very fair. I appreciated his quick response and thorough support from his staff. He knows when to get tough ( and he does) and when to ease off so as bring both sides and lawyers to an agreement. Thank you Bob for being instrumental in allowing me to move forward!

I finally won

Bob Cohen is amazing. He has a wonderful ability to be aggressive and negotiate at the same time - and he manages to do so with humor and charm. I had an awful 4 year long divorce and ended up losing half my kids and spending a lot of money on a lawyer to help me lose! Then my ex took me bac...k to court because I moved although it was legal according to our divorce. I hired a different lawyer who also seemed to be losing - again! Then I hired Bob. He worked magic. I ended up with a completely different structure where one kid actually gets to totally live with me! For the first time not only did I not lose - I won. If you are getting divorced you NEED a lawyer to help you win. The truth is not enough. Get Bob. I wish I’d had him all along.

Child support lawyer | Jun 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked as a Law Guardian on a few of Mr. Cohen's cases. I can attest to his professionalism and zealous activism on behalf of his clients. Both the bench and the bar respect Bob for his knowledge of the law and his ability to try cases, but it all goes without saying that Bob knows how to settle cases whenever possible. The most important asset that a matrimonial attorney can have is the ongoing compassion for each and every client that comes through the door, regardless of how many times we may have heard similar cases. It amazes me how Bob is a constant cheerleader to us all, reminding us to keep our eyes on the "prize" and that prize is the outcomes for our clients. If a client wants a winning attorney who will get them the best outcome on their case, then Bob Cohen is their clear choice."
