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

Great Lawyer

Joel has worked above and beyond what I expected. I watched him in court leave the opposite attorney speechless as he was bringing up the points on our side. He has been patient and assuring throughout the whole process. I will definitely use Joel again in the future if a need arises.

Hiring the Best

A wise man said -- do your research and hire the best, then do exactly what they tell you -- that is Joel Cohen, the best in his business, respected by all in the community and treats us as though we are his only clients -- he takes my calls no matter when and answers all emails. Most importantly, ...he is bringing a difficult situation to resolution as painlessly as possible.

Trustworthy

I have consulted and hired this attorney multiple times. I gained wisdom and leaned on his experience for guidance. I hope I don't need an attorney many times but I know where to locate this one.

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!
