Complicated case made simple by attorney

Experienced professional that balances a warm, client-facing demeanor with unmatched court room decorum and respect. Mr. Cohen managed a very complicated international custody and divorce case. His commitment to my case included timely coaching, constant availability, and subject matter expertise tha...t never wavered. I highly recommend Mr. Cohen's services.

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.
