Excellent!
I hired Kerri for my divorce. She explained the process very clearly and helped me through every step. She was professional and efficient with her time as well as friendly and easy to get along with. She made the unpleasant process of divorce as easy and painless as it possibly could be.

Outstanding!
Kerri Cohen is amazing. Period! I'm still in the process and if not for Kerri's professionalism and compassion, I don't know if I will survive this divorce. She is so much more than a competent attorney, she is a good human being and sensitive to the process and it's toll on her client. Hoping no one needs a divorce attorney, but If you do, Kerri Cohen is who you want fighting for you. Her staff is second to none.

Outstanding lawyer - caring and knowledgeable
I cannot say enough good things about Kerri and her team. From my very first visit, Kerri was compassionate and took the time to get to know me and what my objectives were for my case. She was able to get me the outcome I was looking for in my divorce case. I am incredibly grateful for having Kerri and Jen as my lawyers, and for helping to calm my nerves and guide me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Kerri truly took the time to get to know me and what was important to me in my case, and took every step to get me the desired outcome. I'm very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her!

Ms.
Difficulty in receiving awarded legal fees from former spouse, who was in contempt. Firm support needed to complete the legal process and gain the needed reimbursement after delays, exhaustion, and loopholes. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and tenacity of my attorney! Thank you and your team for honoring this Air Force veteran.

Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommend
Kerri has been a godsend. I came to her in tears having gone through a terrible experience with another attorney. She was completely comforting and assured me we would work together for the best outcome of my family law case. With that, she has gone above and beyond to ensure my case received her full attention, she was quick to respond to any questions and clear up any confusion I had. She followed up in a timely manner when dealing with legal documentation and was always professional dealing with the opposing attorneys. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients and she is not happy until you're happy. After my case ended and I began having issues collecting child support, I told her about it and Kerri stepped right back in, sending letters and filing documents which quickly helped me to get it all back on track again. I can't say enough good things about her and the quality of her work. I highly recommend her.

Excellent
I located attorney Kerri on the internet regarding my divorce and I am very glad I found her. I scheduled an appointment to meet with her. She worked within my schedule to set-up this time! I initially had a free consultation through a telephone conversation with her and she graciously took the time to discuss my concerns which helped to lead me in the right direction. She was extremely knowledgeable about my situation. She attentively listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. During my meeting in her office, she helped me to understand all my rights. Attorney Kerri did a great job with composing and completing my divorce settlement agreement. I highly recommend attorney Kerri. Yo encontré a la abogada Kerri en internet y estoy muy contenta de encontrarla, primeramente tuve una consulta gratis por teléfono y ella se tomo el tiempo para explicarme mis derechos lo que me ayudó a orientarme mejor. Durante la reunión en su oficina ella me ayudó a entender mis derechos completamente y el mejor método para resolver mi divorcio. La abogada Kerri hizo un excelente trabajo. Yo recomiendo a la abogada Kerri!!

Has gone above and beyond - call of duty
I am separated from my spouse who is refusing to co-operate to sign off on documents to prove we are separated, which is causing Financial Aid Office to put me through the ringer. A close friend referred my to Ms. Cohen who has gone gone beyond her call of duty to help clarify the ongoing issue with my financial aid. This simple expression of thanks is not enough to for the extend Ms. Cohen has gone to assist me. THANK YOU and Ms.Cohen. Grateful Nikisha

Knowledgeable, Dedicated and Extraordinary Lawyer!
Kerri is a very extraordinary lawyer that is extremely thorough and knows her stuff. I have been through my fair share of lawyers throughout the years and she is the embodiment of what a true lawyer should be professionally and ethically. She was very dedicated throughout my custody case and persistent in making sure that I had the fair outcome that I deserved. Not only is she knowledgeable about family law, but she made sure that I was prepared from mediation to trial. She and her team gave me the confidence and assurance that justice would be served as the other party was being unreasonable. In the courtroom, she is serious business and will give you 200% effort when fighting for you! Most importantly, she was always available if I had a question or her legal team was there to assist me. Overall, I am very satisfied that I chose her out of the 4 that I was considering hiring for my case.

Sanity amid chaos
Hired Kerry to help walk me through the separation procedures at the end of a 26-year marriage. I would have lost my sanity had I had to go through this without Kerry's professional assistance and personal compassion and understanding. We walked-away with everything we asked for and a little more. I appreciate the time and effort Kerry put forth on my behalf. I highly recommend her based on my experiences!

Excellent attorney!!!
Kerri professionally handled our custody case which was quite messy. After 10 months of hearings, emergency DSS in our favor, documents too numerous to mention; our girls are now safe and where they belong. To see their happy faces safe, sound and smiling I give her a big thank you! Kerri is a blessing in the courtroom, behind the scenes, dealing with unprofessional attorneys, and thoroughly knows the law. We could not have chosen a better attorney. We highly recommend her and have thanked her many times over.

Kerri Cohen's Divorce Practices
I give Kerri 5 Stars! I wouldn't have received visitation or a divorce degree without Kerri's aggressive and fact-based approach to my case. My ex-wife was unexplainably difficult at every step of the process. Kerri navigated my case perfectly by focusing on the facts and showing how frivolous claims by my ex-wife was prolonging access to my children. The court agreed and gave me an absolute divorce and a reunification plan to be reconnected with my children.

Looking for a great attorney? Here is one..
I was looking for a caring and highly skilled family law attorney. I chose Kerri because of the reviews of her clients. Neither the reviews or Kerri have disappointed me. My divorce is not final yet so I’ll write another review on her practice later but so far I’ve found her focused, responsive, resourceful, reliable, aggressive when she needs to be, and available always. She answers all my questions and is working to get a favorable outcome with minimal effort on my part. She deserves five stars. I recommend Kerri to anyone who needs expertise in family law. Some people commented that she is pricy but if your case is complicated and you need someone competent enough to get five star winning results, her charges are worth it in my humble opinion

Professional lawyer, great results
Kerri did a terrific job in drafting my separation agreement. She was instrumental in negotiations and I could not have done it without her. She was very professional and answered all my questions, stuck to her guns and fought for me. Kerri was very attentive and answered all my calls. Kerri was responsive, caring, and handled my case with great tenacity. I highly recommend Kerri and always do.
