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

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.

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.

Thank you.

Mr. Cohen, I know we part ways on unfriendly terms. Please forgive me if for any reason you may feel I have disrespected, used or dishonored you. That was not my intention I was trying to express. When I lashed out in the email it was not at you. It was me screaming. To me everything was going wron...g and there were constant road blocks. I could not see the forest from the trees and I am so sorry. During the time you were helping me with my uncle’s case, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My nerves was shot. All I was concern with was getting my uncle to safety to Virginia and closing all loose ends so Florida would not take him back from me. Selfishness on my part. When I came to you I was a broken person mentally, spiritually, physically and just about financially. God could not have sent me to a better lawyer. You were there through thick and thin. When we could not get a response from the doctors what did you do? You got a case manager involved that was God send and got the ball running even faster. You and the case manager got my uncle from the abusive environment and kept him safe from his abuser for 2 months until his case was transferred to Virginia. I know without a shadow of a doubt you have done much more for my uncle case than we paid you for. For that I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! You are an amazing, caring and dedicated lawyer. If people only knew what a great, wonderful, compassionate person and lawyer you are. I would recommend you highly without hesitation to anyone who made need a lawyer in your area.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
