I am very blessed to have Barney on my team

I first met Barney Cohen when I was desperate for help and called the AMA. Barney was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. I have a disability and a hospital was trying to force me off their staff. After patiently listening to me and finding out that I am still very capable of safely caring... for patients, Barney told me how I could fight that hospital. If it was not for Barney Cohen, I would have quite practicing. Instead, about 10 years after developing a disability, I am happy and my patients are happy. Three hospital systems welcome me with open arms and I have filed an ADA lawsuit against the one still trying to force me out. I did not even know what kind of attorney to look for. Barney helped me find an ultra-expert in the area I needed. He pointed out conflicts of interest in attorneys I had talked with. After Barney left the AMA, I found that not all attorneys at state or national medical societies are as helpful as he is. Whether you are already in a jam or you want advice to try to prevent getting in a jam, I recommend Barney Cohen without reservations. I am truly blessed to have Barney as a member of my team.

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.
