Alex Braunstein, Contracts and agreements Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Cohen possess a rare technique that most defense attorney's lack: the ability to skillfully and professional speak with prosecutors in a way that gives him credibility and likeability. This may not sound like a lot, but it enables him get the best results for his clients. He is knowledgeable and always prepared. For example, as a prosecutor in the organized crime unit of the State Attorney's Office, Mr. Cohen was able to convince me about the weakness of my case and further convinced me that I had no choice but to drop the charges against his client. This is a rare thing once a case has been filed by a specialty unit
Daniel Reinfeld, Trucking accident Attorney
