Professional and Understanding

I highly recommend Robert and Cohen and team! It is hard enough when you have to come to the conclusion of filing for bankruptcy. From the first time I called the office and spoke to the receptionist and then meeting with Robertson Cohen himself they were very professional and understanding to our ne...eds. Our case was not an easy one and Robertson spent countless hours to get us the best outcome possible! Definitely would recommend that you contact them!!!!

Go with This Attorney -

I felt I had legal issues that were not being handled correctly by my retained attorney and called Mr. Cohen for a consultation as I was looking to replace my other attorney. Mr. Cohen was very matter of fact but helpful with options available to me that either he or my other attorney could assist m...e with. We reached the conclusion that I didn't need his legal services but nor did I need my current attorney to continue with the current path because it would not change the inevitable outcome. As much as I wanted Mr. Cohen to wave his magic wand and fix my problems I had peace of mind that I received sound legal advice from him. He went above and beyond what a normal free consultation would entail. I never felt that he was in a rush to get me off the phone or pressure me to hire him to provide legal services. I can see why Mr. Cohen has received exceptional review from his peers and is considered a "Super Lawyer" in Colorado and ranked as a top attorney. If you need an lawyer for any of the areas he specializes in, I would not hesitate to hire him.

Consultation on previous bankruptcy

Had a problem with a bankruptcy from 6 years previous and the lawyer that i had used in this case was no longer available. I went in for a consultation with with Rob to see if there was anything that his office could do. Rob was straight to the point and didn't pull any punches, It was not the ans...wer i was looking or hoping for but it was the correct, legal one that let me know where I stood on this matter. If I am ever need of these kinds of legal services or know of someone that does I will recommend this office.

Made the whole process easy!

Rob made the whole bankruptcy process easy and relatively pain-free. He and his staff were always helpful whenever I had questions. I never felt like I was being looked down upon, judged, or stigmatized simply because I was filing for bankruptcy. Rob explained the whole process very clearly right ...from the start. He's a brilliant attorney and wonderful man. I would definitely recommend Rob and Cohen & Cohen for anyone considering bankruptcy.

Good man in a tough business

As a mortgage banker, I am not always able to say my experiences in working with attorneys is a positive one. Especially when they are a bankruptcy attorney. However, Rob is a substantially different case than most. Our mutual client had worked with Rob on a bankruptcy SEVEN years ago. When my client... e-mailed Rob, not only did he know who she was, he asked her how things were going and took the time to catch up with a past client. We needed Rob's help with something that was an unconventional request to help our client qualify for a home. Not to mention, this was not in his job description (unless he were to be paid for the work rendered). Rob understood the situation and took time out of his work day to make sure his past client was taken care of. He could have charged my client for the work rendered if he wanted to and no one could have said a word. But the fact that this man did everything by the book and out of a sincere willingness to help someone in need, speaks volumes about the way he runs his business and takes care of his people. If you want to find a bankruptcy attorney that has your best interest at heart instead of theirs, you would be foolish to go to anyone besides Robertson Cohen. The man is a five star professional and I will be referring my personal client business his way. I can assure you of that.
