Smooth process and great outcome!

Peter Cohen was hired from me and my brother for our mother’s probate management after her passing. Peter handled the case perfectly, with superb communication and successful results. I would recommend him and his office with no hesitation and I will be happy to request his services again in the futu...re as needed.

Excellent Lawyer

Justice is finally served! I am beyond grateful for the exceptional work Peter did in handling my probate case for my beloved father, who suffered from dementia. Finding someone I can truly trust was crucial. I met with many other lawyers who seemed focused only on making money, rather than genuinely... caring about my case. From the start, Peter demonstrated a deep knowledge of probate law with true compassion and professionalism. Thanks to his clear guidance and consistent communication, the entire process was smoother than I ever could have anticipated. Peter took the time to explain every step, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed along the way. In the end, he won my case, bringing much needed peace and closure to my family. I highly recommend Peter to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy probate attorney. He is truly number one!

Inheritance

I had a crucial distressful situation with banking that I had no other recourse but to obtain legal representation. Before hiring Mr. Cohen, I felt totally discouraged, demoralized with no hope in solving this crisis. Mr. Cohen sought out the best conciliation to exclude a long dragged-out court proc...eeding. I chose attorney Mr. Peter A Cohen because of his long professionalism in handling fine details and arguing the validity of proofs in winning the outcome of my case. I trusted his experience in listening to his options and coming to a final decision in challenging several issues. It has been a gratifying experience knowing Mr. Cohen, who will do everything to fight for what's right. Thank you again, Mr. Cohen

The Best Lawyer!

Peter, I cant thank you enough. Its not about time not about working... its about the knowledge you obtain to get the job done. You did an amazing job for my Father rest in peace and myself as the executor of his estate for the Setai condominium case . Coming from a very corrupted family you ...were able to obtain victory in every possible way and very fast. Also very trustworthy with funds which is very hard to find. Transparent, human, clean, brilliant! Id hire you again and again.

Professional, kind and high knowledgeable!

Mr. Cohen represented me in probating my grandmother's estate. It was a very complex case, that even included a lien from Medicare. If it wasn't for Mr. Cohen's savviness, I would not have received any portion of my inheritance. Additionally, he was kind enough to reduce his fees in order to help me.... I highly recommend him for all your legal needs.
