Provided me with an answer

Mr. Cohen took the time to provide with me an answer and a suggestion very quickly. And I have already successfully used some of the information that he provided.

Posted by Connie | June 20, 2022 | White Collar Crime

Must Say I'm Impressed

From reading all the reviews, I'm impressed. Although there were only 1 negative review, he cared enough to try to fix the problem, which speaks volumes! I just wish he would help me in my situation. He's capable. It may be inconvenient him being in a different county, 1 & half hrs away in TN. But ...these days, court can be held electronically from the office. It's not a difficult case. I just wish he would put the same concern and work into fixing my problem as he would if it was his own Mother having this problem. But from what I've found so far, the law doesn't apply to Fannie Mae, who gets a pass on white collar crime against people. Please reconsider Mr. Cohen.

GREAT ATTORNEY

Attorney Cohen is very thorough, he listens well and makes precise decisions. Does his homework and research. I'm glad he answered my request on Avvo.

Very helpful

Answered my question very quickly and was thorough in explanation of the law as it applies to my issue. Very helpful!

Posted by Robert Perry | August 10, 2017 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great telephone conversation and advice...

Although he will not be representing me in the case I am concerned with, he gave me some great advice and information about what my options are to proceed, which after a period of a day or so, led me to a great idea on how to handle the situation which would be beneficial to all involved, we'll see...... if nothing else, the stress of having such a responsibility has been lifted...

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.
