review

mr cohen handled my bankruptcy case so well I barely had to lift a finger except to sign a few papers. he explained the process to me which gave me the confidence to proceed and it worked out just as he said. the pressure is gone -no calls or letters - the man is a miracle worker and I advise anyone ...with credit card debt to call (or email) mr cohen

Compassionate and respectful!!!

Mr. Cohen handled my bankruptcy case easily and respectfully. To my surprise and relief, my student loans were also discharged. I highly recommend him to handle any of my legal matters in the future.

Saved years off my sons freedom

I was living all the way down the Florida keys when my son was sent to prison. My sister told me how great Joel was with her son so I calls him. Within one month, Joel put in the required legal work in Santa Rosa county (Milton) and found my son was illegally sentenced. A month later my son was in th...e keys with his family and no longer at Brevard correctional facility (prison). I think the world of this attorney. His public defender Mr. Tony Henderson didn't even recognize this huge error!!! I mould recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone!

Not knowledgeable and Money Driven

He doesn't know anything about Family law and simply made my case feel like it was about money and that was all. Never finished final paperwork and my case after 2 years is still pending. Does not return emails or phone calls. Pretends to be a man of God while you are in the office and quickly tur...ns into another person outside of his office. Makes promises about what he is going to do then doesn't do anything like what he said. I have worked with other Attorneys and unfortunately they have moved on to other forms of law but they never treated me like Mr. Cohen did!
