A professional, fair & effective lawyer

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.

Highly Recommended for Complex Divorce Proceedings

I cannot recommend Austin Cohen highly enough. As an attorney myself, I was highly selective with whom I retained to represent me in my recent divorce. Austin came highly recommended and immediately gave me confidence in not only his understanding of the applicable laws, but also in how he incorpor...ated and addressed my goals and concerns in the proceedings. The matter was highly complex, involving multiple properties, international assets and an eight figure trust estate. Austin devised a strategy for the proceedings that had me feeling one step ahead and executed that strategy to achieve all the goals I set out. Most tellingly, the strategy foresaw times or issues when the other side could be expected to dig in and how to navigate those issues and put myself in a better position for achieving my goals and objectives in the proceeding. He included me in his analysis process, provided valuable counsel on matters of opinion, set out clear steps to bring the matter to resolution, and followed those steps. I am very confident the timely and successful conclusion of the divorce was the direct result of Austin's excellent representation and counsel.

Great Child custody attorney

I hired Austin after receiving a CFI report recommending my daughter’s father full out of state custody. After doing research and speaking with my prior attorney I learned that judge’s follow CFI recommendation’s most of the time . I was devastated and knew I had an uphill battle. Austin spent a l...ot of time speaking with me about the different options we had and reading multiple motions before I even hired him. He gave me hope again! He did a Phenomenal job with exposing all my exes lies during a deposition which completely changed the course of my case! To make a long story short, the CFI flipped her recommendation to me getting custody. Words cannot express how Thankful I am that I hired Austin!

Professional & Efficient

Hiring Austin to help me in my divorce was the best decision I could have made. What start as amicable and filing on our own quickly turned. Austin jumped in and immediately remedied our improperly filed paperwork. He built initial rapport with my ex to keep the process as smooth as possible for as... along as possible. His team was efficient, helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. Austin listened throughout, honored my choices and helped me stay in the reality of my situation so I could make the best choices for myself and my future. Austin is not only articulate and efficient in his work, he is also compassionate and empathetic. I would highly recommend Austin and his team.

Great attorney, Austin Cohne

As a client of Austin, he communicated with me often and very well. Really, that's what you want and he did it. He was diligent in preparation and did not waste my money. Again, perfect.
