About Scott
Biography
When I’m not serving clients’ needs or spending quality time with my wife and two awesome kids, I can be found on my road bike traveling the back roads, or in the woods on my mountain bike. I was born right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, and grew up in Haverford Township, Delaware County. After graduating from Haverford High School, I attended Tulane University in the wonderful city of New Orleans, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Management. I graduated from Widener University School of Law in 2000 and have been practicing to be a different kind of lawyer ever since!

Custody
I hired Scott to help with a child custody case that arose pretty quickly. He made himself available for reviewing my case, and for both of my court hearings.

Scott Cohen
Replied last October 15, 2014Unfortunately sometimes there are misunderstandings between lawyer and client when everything is not put down in writing, or the client is less than straightforward and does not provide all the information the lawyer needs to properly provide advice and counsel. That is why I ALWAYS have a written fee agreement signed by the client, and they are provided a copy so that there is no confusion about the scope of the representation. If a client decides on their own, after work has begun, that the agreed fee is "too much", and they get angry and take to social media to vent that anger, it says more about the client than the quality of the representation.
