Saved my sanity during custody battle

Scott saved my life. I was going through a custody battle and my sons father had a very nasty lawyer. Scott came in last minute and was able to help negotiate everything without having a messy trial. Extremely professional and he didn't nickel & dime me. He actually cared about my case and made himse...lf accessible whenever I needed him. I would definitely recommend Scott to anyone.

custody

I highly recommend Scott . Scott represented me on my family law case and was extremely attentive to my personal needs and the complexities of my issues. He is well-spoken and intelligent and I believe he had my best interests at heart at all times. I was beyond pleased with my final judgement (did...n't think I would get the outcome I did) and I would recommend scott to anyone in the area who needs a family law or custody lawyer. Most importantly I felt scott and his firm were reasonable with the costs and understood that I was working on a budget. Although it was an unfortunate and trying experience, I felt I was in good hands the entire time and I'm very grateful to have had scott on my side. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a family law or custody lawyer in the greater Philadelphia area.

I highly recommend Scott Alan Cohen

Scott Cohen knows the law, knows how to appropriately use it. He stepped in when there was so much legal injustice occurring in my custody case. Last minute he was able to jump in and stop the other party from gaining emergency custody because there was just no emergency, This is only one of the ...things he has done for me and my son, He knows proper court etiquette and uses it. He makes himself available pretty much anytime that you need to communicate. He is amazingly understanding especially when it comes to the emotional aspect of the situation. He is friendly but does not play around when it comes to getting the job done. My son will be coming back to me soon and I give all the credit to Scott Cohen. I highly recommend Scott Cohen to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

Child Support

This guy literally saved my life. I had a child support order that was like one that will make you jump out the window. He helped me negotiate with a hostile X wife and brought it down to an amount i could afford, now I don't have to think of myself as a deadbeat Dad. I am now building relationships... and trust with my children. It would have been a shame to lose my children to the child support system. So, If you need a good lawyer to help you settle some family issues. Scott is your man! Oh I forgot I live in Chicago and my X lives in Philadelphia and we did this all over the phone.
