Austin Murray Cohen

As a former NFL player, I’ve seen firsthand how people can fall victim to excessive litigation when it’s not warranted and abuse of the system when it comes to children and financial obligations. When I found myself in a difficult situation, I knew I needed someone sharp, reliable, and experienced to... help protect what matters most—my children and my future. Austin’s approach was surgical and strategic, but he was also raw, honest, and open to discomfort in a way that brings the truth to the surface. He tactfully navigated difficult challenges, and the result was the best possible outcome for my kids and me. The way he explained everything in the written position statements before the hearing made it easy to understand difficult concepts. When we were in court during the trial, he knew when to push and when to hold back. He was clam, commanding, and relentless on cross exam. When interacting with the Judge, he knew the rules and has this way of commanding respect without raising his voice. It was like watching someone at the top of their game. You want Austin on your team. People in my situation often are taken advantage of financially, but that did not happen here. He was very fair in his billing, and I thought my costs would be higher than what it ended up costing. While my case was happening, Austin also won a case at the U.S. Supreme Court, which I know is like winning the lawyer Super Bowl, but even a win at such a high level didn’t cause him to treat my case with any less attention. He is a true professional. I highly recommend Austin to anyone who needs a skilled, trustworthy attorney, who will be in your corner.

Austin and his team were excellent to work with in my divorce proceedings. Everyone I worked with were highly professional and very responsive in their communications. They did not advise me to fight issues that were not winnable for me and therefore did not accrue unnecessary billable hours. All the... hours I was billed were accurate and fair. He did an great job of negotiating an acceptable resolution amidst sometimes volatile emotions. I highly recommend Austin but hope to never need his services again.

Austin was a professional in the courtroom for my trial. My ex-wife hired a former district attorney who tried everything in the book, but ended up failing in all of his efforts. Austin’s cross exam of my ex left no stone unturned and the Judge even talked about it in the ruling when she gave 100% of... the overnights and decision making to me. I should also say that I was accused of parental alienation and Austin protected me and my reputation. What was also impressive was that Austin used my ex’s expert witness against her and saved me the money from having to hire my own expert. I should also say that my case had been ongoing for about 8 years and I previously had two different attorneys. It was not until I hired Austin that I saw results and he fixed my case for good. I will never have to go back to Court and I have Austin to thank for that.
