gets it done with integrity

I've been a client and friend of Stephen's for more years than I'd like to remember. I was introduced to steve early in my real estate career and he immediately impressed me with his candor, knowledge, work ethic and his tenacity. whether it was working out a complicated real estate contract or help...ing to revive a deal that was all but pronounced dead. he unlike many lawyers, is a deal maker not a deal breaker. when he took something on he always saw it to completion. other than my late father, who was a personal injury attorney, steve is one of the most principled and moral men I have ever met. in spite of the fact he will tell you he went to Harvard, with in the first three minutes of meeting him, there is no one else I would turn to if all the chips were down. he truly is what a lawyer should be, unlike a lot who have lost sight of the essence of the profession.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I treasure my time spent being mentored by Attorney Stephen B. Cohen and his assistant Chris. While there, I learned what it meant to be a counselor at law (the important stuff they don't teach you in law school). Mr. Cohen is well versed in the areas of real estate (commercial and residential), all aspects of estate planning and probate, general litigation, mediation, arbitration, sports law and family law. Mr. Cohen is fair and upfront with his clients and he works well with other attorneys, but when he goes to court the word advocate doesn't even begin to describe him."
