He was enlisted from 1985-1989 and his assignments took him all the way from New York to Panama. In 2004 and 2005 during the many hurricanes we had here in Florida, Mr. Harvey V. Cohen started representing hurricane damage cases. Mr. Cohen, met with some restoration companies and thought of a way to teach them assignment of benefits so that they could get paid directly from insurance companies, just like medical doctors and Pip suits. Mr. Cohen, has literally handled thousands of insurance claims. Mr. Cohen, is known throughout the state of Florida and nationwide as the go to attorney for assignment of benefit contract cases as it pertains to the restoration industry. Mr. Cohen has been a presenter for the RIA, Restoration Industry Association and other professional trade groups. The RIA is the oldest and largest nonprofit, professional trade association dedicated to providing leadership and promoting best practices through advocacy standards and professional qualifications for the restoration industry. They represent over 20,000 members. Mr. Cohen, has been a presenter for the RIA on several subjects, including assignment of insurance benefits. Mr. Cohen teaches courses that provide continuing education credits approved through the IICRC. The IICRC certifies restoration companies for trade specific talents. IICRC courses help restoration professionals keep up with the latest techniques, technology and education for the restoration industry. Mr. Cohen’s, IICRC approved course, Insider Secrets Assignment of Benefit, is very informative due to its content regarding insurance claims and contracts. Mr. Cohen and his firm are great supporters of the community. Mr. Cohen is very involved with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and many other charities including: · Hope and Help which is a charity that raises money for AIDS patients · SPCA which helps raise money for pets and animals, · The Jewish Community Center, · The YMCA, · Susan G.

Mr. Cohen and his firm took the Hipolito property damage case to trial and won. Mr. Cohen has also taken a windshield case to trial. However, after the jury was chosen, the insurance company settled the case. Mr. Cohen, continues to work with the restoration industry and the legislature in Tallahassee. He also works with the consumer advocate's group and the CFOs office regarding insurance issues and consumer protections. For instance, Mr. Cohen went to Tallahassee in 2013 to fight against anti-consumer-based legislation that tried to do away with the assignment of benefits in House bill 909 and Senate bill 1600.
