Very satisfied
I was involved in a car accident in which I was rear ended. Thankfully I was not critically injured, just a few bumps and bruises. Howard clearly explained to me what action was appropriate for the situation and made me feel comfortable with his ability to handle what needed to be done.
Howard B. Cohen's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Howard is possibly the best cross-examiner in WNY. He has this talent because of his analytical skills and because he simply will not accept a job that is halfway done. His ethics are of the highest caliber; to be represented by Howard is to always know that your lawyer will get you exactly what you deserve without bending rules or engaging in underhanded tricks."
