He has heart but his strategy, knowledge and seriousness makes him great at playing hard ball when he has to
Bob Cohen was my divorce attorney after a 28 year marriage. When I went to him I was petrified about something so foreign to me and mostly choosing the right attorney. The death of a marriage whether it was good or bad is so painful and the development overwhelming. Do your homework in choosing your ...

In those instances where we have gone to trial, he is well prepared and an extreme advocate for his client. As an expert with the experience of over 100 trials, I ...

Professional, direct, and a good guide for your legal issues
Bob picked up my case after my previous attorney dropped way too many balls. Bob picked up the pieces, developed a strategy, and helped me understand where my ex-husband was coming from on key issues so we knew how to counteract. He was realistic with me, but relentless on key issues and his staff wa...

Robert A. Cohen's Lawyer Endorsements
"Robert is the kind of attorney you want. He focuses on the important things, and the bottom line. He doesn't fan the flames of divorce matters. An excellent trial attorney as well, he is prepared and astute."
"Smart, focused and caring attorney. Dedicated to client success. Highly recommended."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Cohen is very well respected in his field of law and provides excellent representation. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an attorney."
"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."
