JUST AN INITIAL INTERVIEW YESTERDAY, 01/16/18

I THANK HIS ATTENTION, HIS UNDERSTANDING, HIS PATIENCE! NO OTHER PROFESSIONAL HAS BEEN WITH ME LIKE MR. COHEN. HE TOLD ME THAT THE WORLD THAT WAS OVER MY SHOULDERS WHEN THE INTERVIEW STARTED, WAS ON HIS HANDS AT THE END, TO SOLVE MY SITUATION.

A SIMPLE LETTER SOLVED BAD NOISY NEIGHBOR PROBLEM

ATTORNEY ROBERT S. COHEN'S IDEA TO SIMPLY WRITE A LETTER TO THE OWNER OF A RENTAL PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR RESIDENCE STOPPED THE DRUMMER AND CONTINUOUS LOUD MUSIC FROM BEING HEARD BY US ON A DAILY BASIS ! WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF RECEIVING ATTY. COHEN'S LETTER, THE PROBLEM RENTER'S ...WERE EVICTED BY THE LANDLORD AND THE MUSIC STOPPED ! THANK YOU ATTORNEY COHEN FOR A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM. WE SAY THIS BECAUSE AS SOON AS THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF WAS CALLED BY US TO STOP THE NOISY NEIGHBORS, THEY WOULD STOP JUST BEFORE THE SHERIFF ARRIVED AND START THE MUSIC AFTER THE SHERIFF LEFT THE SCENE ! WE APPRECIATE ATTORNEY COHEN'S INTERVENTION IN THIS MATTER BY BEING THE MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN OUR BAD NEIGHBORS , THE OWNER OF THE RENTAL PROPERTY ( WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ) AND OURSELVES WHO ONLY WANTED PEACE AND QUIET !

Dedicated, professional and experienced

I went to Mr. Cohen for a free consultation in bankruptcy. I visited several other attorneys who advertised free consultation but the difference between those attorneys and Mr. Cohen was immediate. He spent an hour with me and my husband. We were treated as people and not a number. He also worked... with us for at least 6 months without being paid to plan and prepare for filing the right chapter bankruptcy. We thought we would have to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy but with Mr. Cohen's patience and expertise we filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. All the other attorneys were quick to get us to file a Chapter 13 which is more money for them. We finally have our discharge the past week and I extremely satisfied with Mr. Cohen. I can't emphasize how different he is from other attorneys. He calls you back right away. He answers all your questions right away. He doesn't just take your money and then forget about you. I highly recommend him and I have to other friends and family on other legal matters besides bankruptcy. He is a good guy.

GREAT ATTORNEY !!!!!!

I came to him looking for legal advice about a lawsuit. Even though I had several other outstanding credit card debt and he could have made more money steering me to filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, he worked with me and my creditors to resolve all my debt. He also worked with me to protect my asset...s from creditors. He was an excellent negotiator and he always kept me informed every step of the way. I am so happy about the outcome. I referred my friends and family to him.
