Great Experience

Child custody is never easy, especially when involving complicating circumstances. When I approached Mr.Cohn I was scared and a rattled mess. Mr.Cohn had an overwhelming wealth of knowledge and drive to help my case while being sympathetic to our circumstances. He worked diligently with me side by s...ide every step of the way and was able to put me and my family at ease. He was able to break down all of the possible outcomes and explain them in a way I could understand while helping me find the best solution for our family! My experience, though traumatic for me, has been so wonderful thank you to Mr.Cohn and his diligence! I have and will continue to recommend Mr.Cohn to anyone looking for a lawyer with exponential knowledge and drive to bring a reasonable realistic outcome!!

Professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable and experienced

Doug helped guide me through a very complicated custody battle against one of the big family law firms (Delaney McKinney) with both honesty and knowledge, and did it with the utmost efficiency and organization. My custody fight was much longer than I had anticipated but Doug explained each step of t...he process to me and allowed me to present the type of case that both fit my personality, my parenting style and my income. I wanted to both thoughtfully and firmly defend my rights as a parent, while making sure that during our year long trial, we always respected my spouse, and most importantly didn't do anything which could ever adversely effect my children. After a lot of trial preparation as well as a long trial, I felt good about the representation that was provided and about Dougs emotional support throughout the process. It's clear that his vast experience in, and knowledge of, the Family Court System, is one of the factors that makes him such an effective advocate and helped him win my case. I could not have gotten through it without him. While I know these factors would have been true even if we had lost our case, thankfully my custody case was yet another one which he won!

Grateful...

was presented with a very difficult divorce as well as non-stop litigation in the last few years. After meeting Doug, I immediately felt at ease upon our initial consultation. When you are presented with an uncontrollable situation, it is not only important that your attorney be your number one advo...cate, but they also need to communicate clearly all your options... both good and bad. Doug clearly defined all from a legal standpoint, and guided my family and me through this process every step of the way. He also will not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Doug is a straight shooter and a tremendous attorney. Doug has a high level of integrity, outstanding character, and I will always be happy to refer to him as my attorney...
