Greatest Person I Know

Jacob (Coco) Cohen changed my life. I met him through a men's basketball league that I play in. My G-d, that dude's 3-pointer is killer. If you ever need help on your half-court shot, call Coco. I had been in trouble several years ago and things were going well until I had a very sudden expected ...arrest that completely turned my life upside-down. I didn't know what to do and it was one of the most difficult moments of my life. Coco treated me with a respect and consideration that was unmatched -- not only in any lawyer I've ever met, but any person period. He's the best lawyer I've ever used, and I've met and spoken to a lot of lawyers. Coco knows everyone -- whether it's in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Martin, or Port St. Lucie county. When he walks into a room, the room lights up -- his presence is known. He has incomparable charisma when he talks to anyone. He has 13 years of experience as a public defender but more importantly, he has many years of life experience. He knows people. He knows judges. He knows prosecutors. He knows defense attorneys. He can read them. There isn't anyone he can't make smile, because he is one intelligent, witty guy. He has won some amazing cases and he got me the best possible result in the cases in which he represented me. Beyond the legal help he's given me, he introduced me to a woman that changed my life for the better. For good. From now and until forever. He is my dear friend and there is nothing I would not do for him. It is because of him that I went from being a sad, little boy with a mountain of unused potential into the successful, wealthy dynamo rock star businessman that I am today. Thank you Coco, I love you.

Shining Star

MR. Cohen is an aggressive go getter that was able to get me answers to questions in a few days that a team I have been working with has not been able to find in almost a year. He is thorough and accurate in a lightspeed timeframe. You won't be disappointed if you use use him.

A Rare Breed

Jacob is a lawyer with real integrity, values, and a true caring for people. Combine that with a sharp understanding of criminal law, great intelligence, and a wealth of defense experience and you've got Jacob Cohen. Jacob is a rare breed. For him, it's not about money or fee, it about what's right- ...a quality that is rare to find in the legal world today. Jacob handled a difficult case for us in one of the worst jurisdictions in Florida and, through great case law research, got the best outcome possible. We're grateful to have had him on board. I can't recommend Jacob more highly. Not only did we get a great lawyer but we've made a life long friend. Thanks Jacob.

when it comes to the law I know what I am doing.

I have been unsatified when it comes to dealing with lawyers in the past. I did not expect much from Mr. Cohen when we first met. The truth is that I thought I wanted to hire someone else, but that would have been a very big mistake. I did listen to some very good advice and checked him out. You can ...write to the florida bar and request any information about any lawyer, so that is what i ended up doing and found one thing, a client that was very upset that Mr. Cohen got him released on probation. This client was bipolar and the complaint just made me think to check even more information to find that for over 6 months before he became my lawyer he had not lost one single case. When I asked him about this he just said, "when it comes to the law I know what i am doing". He was in my opinion very confident, he dose not like to loose and works very hard at succeeding. My case went from very bad (15 plus years), down to taking a deal for 5 to 7 years but for me it was not an option with a family to take care of, lets say jail time was not an option and he did give me his advice on what i should do, but I waited to the very end, and found my self with a 2 YEAR probation deal with no jail time and would be able to go on with my life with my family. That conpaired to being in jail for any period of time was way better. This was more than what anyone could have asked for, freedom with some set backs. The over all picture is that I still have my loving family.

Excellent Lawyer!

I recommend Jacob. He is very professional and courteous. Not only was I pleased with the results, but Jacob treated me like a relative more than a client through out the case and after. I could not have had a better attorney!
