Smart, professional, attentive and caring attorney

Bob Cohen was highly recommended to me and I was impressed from our first meeting. He has been a reliable, honest and fierce advocate for me throughout my litigation. If you want not only a smart attorney but a winner, you want Bob. He wants to win and he wants to win for you. When he can accom...plish this, you will know it – he won’t lie to you. I am glad he was on my side of the table and I would not want him sitting across from me. He is responsive, takes your calls and emails and takes the time to explain your options as well as what he is doing and why. His entire office staff has been a pleasure to work with as well as being advocates for what Bob is trying to do. They deserve the recognition as well. I recommend Bob Cohen without reservation. You want him.

Extraordinary Lawyer that Has Your Back!!!

Robert A. Cohen, "Bob", was recommended by someone that I knew and trusted. I was 8 months into my divorce, on my second lawyer and felt that the legal system was unfair and had a lack of faith in lawyers. Right away I knew Bob was the REAL DEAL. He was always very clear on what to expect and ...I stopped feeling worried and stressed about my situation. I knew that since Bob was my lawyer I would be okay. Every time I emailed or called him he responded right away with all of the answers that I was looking for. Bob Cohen went above and beyond. Prior to any important court appearance or deposition, Bob would meet with me to consult and thoroughly explain what would happen and any important documents he would need from me. In addition, if there was ever an issue that was occurring between my "husband" and I Bob Cohen would reach out to the other side and helped me avoid a potential conflict with my "husband". This alleviated a lot of unneeded stress for me. Bob Cohen is a genuine lawyer with a lot of class and knowledge. This is evident in how he carries himself in the courtroom and deals with other lawyers and judges. He is a step above the others and anyone that knows him would agree with me. Bob Cohen was able to get me all of the things that I requested for my divorce settlement. I came to him at a very difficult point in my divorce and he turned it all around for me. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bob Cohen!!!. He truly is the best lawyer!!

Very honest and very respected

I hired Bob because I knew he'd be able to handle a possibly contentious divorce. I needed someone who was well respected in the courts, extremely knowledgeable and would fight for me and my children. From the beginning Bob was a straight shooter and told me exactly like it was. No empty promises, no... bull and I respected that immensely. He was always prepared for court and always had my best interests and the best interests of my kids at heart. He genuinely cares about my case. In the end, he was a terrific negotiator and always kept me in the loop of what was happening. He went above and beyond to settle my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a strong attorney.

Can't recommend enough!

When my divorce first began I was involved with another lawyer that made a very difficult divorce and custody battle even more difficult. When it got to the point where I knew I had to move on, I was recommended to Robert Cohen at Tabat, Cohen, Blum and Yovino by a trusted colleague that had used him... before. After my first meeting I knew he was the right lawyer for me and switched to him right away and It was one of the best decisions I made. He was a light during this incredibly difficult process. Smart, kind, respectful, completely accesible and a force when needed and necessary. He was honest and advised me well about where my expectations should be with things and always explained thoroughly all the different possible outcomes, so nothing ever felt like a surprise. Everyone that I dealt with in his office were also fantastic and always took the time to explain things to me if needed. I never felt disconnected and I always felt well protected and taken care of. I truly cant recommend them enough!

Best Divorce Attorney Ever

Bob Cohen represented me in my divorce 13 years ago. To this day I am so grateful to him for his knowledge, his understanding, his compassion and unwavering support and guidance. My children and I truly had and have a much more healthier and fuller life after divorce because of him. Through the ye...ars I have recommended him to friends who thank me continuously. He is everything one would want representing them during this trying time and he believes in "happily ever after"

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."
