Josh Marcuson

I had a head on collision on my bike, it was traumatic. At moments like that you realize that things are going to be bad, life is going to be difficult, everything is a struggle and you're on your own. Then I talked to Josh and that all changed. I had a team on my side, I felt looked after, I was ref...erred to the right doctors for the right treatment. Josh and his team are professional, personal, they talk straight and are on top of every detail. They are great people who are really good at what they do. They got me a settlement that covered my losses and took care of everything. They turned a bad moment into hiccup. I'm back on my bike and back to normal. I have and always will refer Josh Cohen as the go to guy. I really can't speak highly enough about Josh and his team. If you're looking for someone, you just found him. Thanks again for everything Josh.

A caring, supportive protector and friend

I am so incredibly grateful to have found Josh Cohen at an absolutely terrifying and horrible time in my life. Josh was my Angel. After a devastating fall down a staircase that was probably two inches away from breaking my neck and leaving me dead or paralyzed - but thankfully didn't - Josh took ever...y one of my phone calls and listened to each and every concern, sometimes returning messages well after hours, making sure I that was seen by top-notch specialists and that I got the best medical care available without spending a dime of my own money, regardless of the fact that I had severely limited health insurance. He was more than an attorney - he was a caring, supportive protector and friend. After two years of physical therapy and pain management, I reached a point where I realized there was no more improvement to be made. Though I would in a heartbeat give back every dime if I could undo the accident and go back to the condition I was in before it happened, I am very happy with the settlement that Josh was able to negotiate for me. He gave me strength and confidence during a time when I was profoundly injured and vulnerable and made me feel like I had some control over my situation. I hope to never require the services of a personal injury attorney again, but if - God forbid - I or anyone I love every does, Josh will absolutely be the one I call.

Josh is a great attorney and a real champion.

When my husband was knocked off his bicycle and badly hurt we wanted a really good attorney to help us get a fair and just settlement from the insurance company. I'm an attorney myself and asked around to find out who's the best in L.A. We got some referrals and I went and met some of them but once I... met Josh I knew we'd found the prefect attorney for our case. Not only is he a terrific attorney he's also a cyclist himself and a keen advocate for cyclists so he fully understand and supports cyclists, but he's also a champion of a man. One of the best. Josh took our case and worked diligently and thoroughly to get us the settlement we deserved. Not only did he meet our every expectation of what a great lawyer should be, he was also endlessly patient in answering all our questions and extremely supportive and respectful of us a clients. I could say he was the silver lining in the black cloud of a bad accident but that would be selling him way short. He's a marvelous man, a great attorney and if you've had an accident I have zero reservations about recommending him.

Happy Client

I was rear ended on the 101 2 years ago and was experiencing considerable pain. I went to Dr/physical therapy, and THEN called Josh after my treatments. In hindsight I should've called him right away because the resulting insurance paperwork became quite the mess. Insurance company X paid, then d...enied coverage for the bills, saying it was not their responsibility. Anyways, Josh and his assistant Lisa were able to resolve all of my billing issues and my final settlement was far beyond my expectations. Josh was very helpful through the whole process, and helped me make informed decisions along the way. I would gladly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance, I'm a very happy client.

Very Trustworthy, Reliable Attorney-- Highly Recommended

Josh is a highly trustworthy lawyer who helped me recover a more than satisfactory settlement from the insurance company of the driver with whom I was involved in an auto accident. He kept me updated on each step of the process and made sure all my questions were answered. I would highly recommend hi...m to anyone in need of legal services-- you won't be disappointed.

"Josh is one of the sharpest attorneys I know. We trained together years ago on trial matters and he was by far one of the most effective at reaching juries I've watched. Since then Josh has helped countless clients with personal injury matters and is a particular expert on bicycle injury claims. In matters where the jury's perception of the client counts - like personal injury - you need to have someone like Josh on your side who will connect with and persuade the jury to fully compensate your client for the harm they've suffered."
