This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest and thorough

I was recommend to Mitch and told that I should take advantage of the free consultation even if I could not afford to hire an attorney. I scheduled the appointment and was told about the no-show fee, but as promised, I showed up for my appointment so my card was not charged. He was very thorough and ...honest, and gave solid advice even though he knew I could not afford to hire him. I would definitely recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs help with family matters.

Excellent divorce attorney

I hired him about 20 years ago to represent me through what turned out to be an ugly divorce full of drama from the "ex". Overall, it worked out pretty well in my favor. He's a knowledgeable attorney with integrity that is tough when he needs to be.

I needed to find Mitch.

Mitch was recommended to me by another family lawyer who only practiced sparingly (I appreciated his honesty) and he was exactly who I needed to handle my difficult case. Trust me, you need this guy. He's talented, honest, and will walk you through his honest to goodness assessment of your case and l...ay out a comprehensive plan ahead of time and execute like a pro. He's got 20 years working with and pleading cases with the same judges and it was obvious to me he knew how to present a case and the facts that would speak most to the judge. Could not have been happier and I got 99 % of what we thought was in my childrens best interest. You're gonna spend alot whoever you use so get the best for your efforts, and for me it was Mitch. Should I need another attorney, I will absolutely call Mitch again. Seriously.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Cohen Family Law, PLLC. firm to any of my family, friends and acquaintances who were

When I was faced with making the tough decision of filing for a divorce, I was looking for a law firm that would be able to guide me through this emotionally difficult situation. I was in a long term marriage with young children and I needed to protect my interests and yet still wanted to have the mo...st amicable divorce possible. I had interviewed two firms prior to meeting with Mitchell Cohen and once I met Mitchell Cohen , I knew I had found the firm and attorney that would work with me in this matter. Mitchell demonstrated the compassion required in these cases but also had in-depth knowledge of the law and was able to answer my questions and provide me with solutions and options to difficult questions regarding custody and spousal maintenance. All of my questions (and there were many) were answered in a timely manner and Mitchell maintained correspondence with me on weekends and after hours with emails and phone calls when needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cohen Family Law, PLLC. firm to any of my family, friends and acquaintances who were in involved with a family law case. Thank You Mitch for being understanding, patient, down-to-earth and for being a great attorney!

He's an unethical lawyer..

After hiring him he had a look on his face that said this case is not going to work... Should of known left him with on document and some misc. papers. He knew that day I'm sure that our case was not going to work. $5000.00 retainer fee 10-15 minutes of glancing at papers. $700.00 rip off lawyer.. Be... wise read him well don't let emotions get in the way..

Melissa: While I appreciate your opinion, your facts are inaccurate. First, your adult daughter hired me, not you. You simply provided payment. Second, we not only opened your daughter's file, but as part of my initial review I went through 122 pages of legal documents, narrative from your daughter and text messages. I spent additional time trying to open two audio recordings you sent over with an email saying “Hope it works”. Third, you should not have had to look at my face to understand it was a tough case as I made that very clear as we went through the situation in my office. Additionally, as your daughter was seeking to file paperwork on an emergency basis I set aside the work I was scheduled to complete and performed all of the above within 24 hours of retention. Fourth, after my careful review of all of the documentation I sent a very detailed and specific email to your daughter indicating why I did not believe she had grounds for a filing on an emergency basis. Her email back indicated agreement with my advice and based on that no further work was done on the file. Fifth, despite my practice of preparing and sending billings on the last day of each month and if appropriate issuing a refund check at that time, at your request on June 26th I spent the time running a separate billing for your daughter’s case and issued a credit card refund despite incurring additional service charges for handling it that way. Sixth, when you made it clear you believed the amount charged was excessive, I invited you to review the bill and let me know if there was a particular charge which you believed was incorrect or needed adjusting. As of today, you have not done so. Finally, if I truly were unethical, rather than giving my opinion that it would be a waste of your money to continue, I gave my honest opinion based on my 35 years of practice as well as what I believed was in your daughter’s best interests and very quickly refunded the unused funds and closed my file. I believe that to be a clear reflection of the very high level of competence, professionalism and ethical standards we employ at Cohen Family Law.
