I want to thank Brad for giving me back my good night sleeps

I met Brad through a friend and I would never regret my decision in hiring him as my attorney for my case. He is the smartest lawyers I have ever met. The confidence he has is above and beyond. I want to thank Brad for giving me back my good night sleeps

The best!

I can't believe I forgot and waited so long to review him! Mr Cohen was able to resolve my case better than I originally hoped for. I couldn't be more thrilled with his counsel!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. COHEN!

Within 48 hours of hiring Mr. Bradford Cohen, he was able to reduce my brother's felony charge to a misdemeanor. Mr. Cohen did in 48 hours what another lawyer did not do for my brother in one year. For a busy lawyer, Mr. Cohen was surprisingly very accommodating. He always made himself available f...or meetings. He also promptly responded to emails and kept us informed on the status of the case. He took all of my phone calls or called me back within minutes. I am just impressed at how quickly he responded to my questions. I am also very impressed with his knowledge of law and his professionalism. He exudes confidence. You'll never go wrong with him if you hire him. He is an incredible lawyer!

"There is no shortage of good criminal defense lawyers in South Florida, and Brad certainly ranks among them. I have watched Mr. Cohen argue in court and there is no doubt that he knows what he is doing. If I ever needed a quality criminal defense attorney who has no fear in a courtroom, I'd be very happy with Mr. Cohen as my attorney. And, no, he didn't ask me to write this - I just think the good attorneys who work down here should be noticed."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
