Best probate lawyer

I was extremely lucky to find Mr. Cohen. Especially at a time when I was totally lost on how to handle these legal matters. Mr. Cohen was very professional. Gathered all the information from me. Then had me come back in and review what he had assembled. All the material was thorough and concis...e. Anything I didn’t understand he was more than happy to explain. He alleviated me of all the tension of having to deal with the legal world that I was not familiar with. He made my experience a lot better than I could’ve ever hoped for. My outcome was excellent. Again more than I could’ve ever hoped for. This is the gentleman who will get it done.

Highly Recommended

My experience with Mr. Cohen was exceptional. Without his help I know that I would not have had the successful outcome I had. My case was extremely difficult, as we encountered many issues that were unexpected. But Mr. Cohen worked tirelessly to ensure everything was presented in truth. He has also ...stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received from Mr. Cohen and will be forever grateful for what he did for my family. Highly recommended!

The Practice of Being Extraordinary

Attorney Peter Cohen worked tirelessly on a stunning and extremely complex case of familial co-trustee breach of fiduciary. His plan was successful at every juncture because he believed in what was right, what was true, what was just. He was deeply committed to my case through all of it's distressi...ng disguises and was free to work with an ease that amazed me. When he wanted something done, the speed with which he achieved completion and success almost took my breath away. Attorney Cohen gave me a juridical voice and left a mark of accomplishment through a timely combination of insight, creativity, devotion and integrity that sets a legal standard for the measure of all things.

Awesome

The best lawyer in South Florida. Peter helped me and my sister with our father’s estate. We couldn’t ask for a better lawyer. Very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. I would use him again if I need to and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Goes above and beyond for his clients.

Competent & Trustworthy

Two years ago I was referred to Peter A. Cohen while pursuing representation in a very complicated case of Elder Abuse and Fiduciary Misconduct. A knowledgeable recovery expert had identified Peter Cohen as an attorney posessing the requisite skills to effectively deal with such a complex case. As ...we successfully approach the final chapter in this challenging endeavor I am pleased to say that in my interaction with Peter Cohen, I have found him to be a professional, pragmatic, and compassionate attorney and human being. I feel confident that going forward, I would seek to confer with Peter as I faced any legal concern.
