Rachamin Cohen

I write this with a heavy heart as I dont often post bad reviews - but if you’re considering hiring him please think twice. I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with Rachamin “Rocky” Cohen. The fee arrangement for “guidance” on personal bankruptcy was presented as $1,750 for five ho...urs per person, later consolidated to $3,000 for both me and my partner. That clearly implied five hours each, not five hours total. After only one 45-minute call for me and one 45 minute call for my partner, I was charged $1,000—far beyond what was fair or agreed upon. When I requested a refund, Cohen initially agreed, but weeks of delays followed. Despite repeated follow-ups, the refund was not processed promptly, and I was later told the balance had “dwindled” to $2,000, which I found deceptive. I never sent any documents for review, and our only discussions were verbal, totaling 45 minutes. Claims to the contrary were false. This all took place during an extremely trying time for me and my partner, while we were in the middle of a business bankruptcy and serious financial struggles, doing our best to get back on our feet. Instead of receiving the professional help we expected, we felt taken advantage of—like we had handed over money to a dishonest entity that only made things worse at a time when we were already down and vulnerable. Only now, after all of this, did I learn that filing a personal bankruptcy in Florida typically costs between $1,000–$4,000. Knowing that, it’s even clearer how badly we were ripped off. The lack of timely communication, shifting explanations, and resistance to honoring a refund created unnecessary stress and wasted time. As a client, I found Cohen’s conduct unprofessional, misleading, and lacking integrity. I would not recommend this attorney based on my experience.
