Going through divorce? HIRE MARK COHAN NOW!

I wanted to file for divorce immediately from my narcissistic husband and I needed an attorney. I found Mark on this site! Read his reviews and had to give him a call. He scheduled my consultation right away and immediately I knew he was the right Attorney for me! He is smart, well versed in the Tex...as law, and does not overcharge you like other attorneys! If anything I appreciated all of his honesty. He is upfront with everything - good or bad! I moved to a different state I'm the middle of the divorce to take a job and he still stayed on top of everything! My contested divorce ended up in court and Mark ran circles around my ex's attorney! He was AWESOME! Because of Mark I am finally free ! I would hire h all over again!

Exemplary ability and service

Although a divorce is difficult, working with Mark Cohan could not have been a better experience. He is a skilled attorney, gives concrete, helpful advice and handles each step of the process in a timely manner. What sets him apart are his personal attributes. Mark is honest and clear in his assi...stance. He is also responsive, returning phone calls and emails within 24 hours. As a client, I knew my case was fairly, superbly represented and my concerns were being addressed. I first considered hiring Mark based on the reviews I read. Once I hired him, I knew they were not exaggerated. Initially, I wondered about his youth. I am very happy I did not let it deter me. After the divorce, I hired him on another matter. I believe Mark Cohan is one of the secret treasures of Dallas. As more people realize his value I am sure hiring him will become both more costly and more difficult. I could not recommend anyone more highly.

Mark Cohan gives lawyers a good name

Mark recently helped me with my custody/geographical restrictions case. I took a better paying job in Houston and was in the process of relocating. My ex-husband was upset by this and decided he would take it to court and try to get a custody switch. When I first met with Mark, he explained what ...would happen including the possible consequences of my move without the court's approval. He was honest with me and did not set any false or unrealistic expectations. He managed to keep me calm during the drawn out custody battle and always got back to me to answer my questions no matter how silly they were. He took the time to explain everything to me to make sure I understood. When the court date rolled around, he was very well prepared and truly fought for me. I was especially impressed with his attention to detail and how well he represented me. In the end, not only did he get the geographical restrictions lifted but he was also able to drastically increase the amount of child support I received monthly AND have my ex-husband meet me half way to pick up our son during his visitation days instead of having me drive to Dallas every other weekend to drop off like I’ve been doing. At first, I thought I had a very weak case that wouldn’t hold up in court but Mark turned it into a very strong one. Thanks to Mark my son and I are now in a much better living situation. Most importantly, I no longer have to worry about the possibility of losing custody. I can't say enough good things about Mark. He is trustworthy, knowledgable, patient, and incredibly sharp. He genuinely cares about his clients and tells it like it is. He is flexible and works with his clients based on their needs. I am so glad that I came across his contact info back in December. My life has changed for the better and I owe it all to Mark. Mark Cohan gives lawyers a good name.

Posted by Capen | July 25, 2013 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Painless Experience From a Great Professional

I had an issue with old traffic tickets that had caused a hold to be put onto my driver's license. Mark Cohan took care of the tickets and the hold with a minimal amount of work on my part. He was very explicit with the expectations from my end and kept an open line of communication. Whenever I ha...d questions about paperwork or the status of my case, he promptly answered in a way I could understand. I would highly recommend Mr. Cohan to anyone seeking legal advice. I never felt like I was another client, and he always presented himself as knowledgeable and thorough. If for some reason I should ever need help with a legal issue, I will certainly call Mr. Cohan first.

Posted by Ted | December 10, 2012 | Probate

Wills and Estates

When my father passed away without a will, I had no idea what to do with his estate. After a little bit of research, I contacted Mark Cohan and he walked me through the probate procedure. With his help, he made a daunting process a lot easier and his knowledge on the subject was very helpful. Late...r on I returned to him with another job, this time with some questions my girlfriend had regarding a personal injury claim stemming from a car accident. He was able to steer us through the stressful process with relative ease. Needless to say, I've got him bookmarked for future use should the necessity arise!
