Review Farinaz Cohen

The Best Person ! the Best Attorney !

Posted by AlexThu Nov 30 2017

I was introduced to Farinaz Cohen and other attorneys by my friends, I had to consult and get some answers about 2 years ago. I was very skeptical at first, after talking to so many people trying to get some answers for my problem, we all know how difficult to trust anyone these days, I will be very honest, somehow after just talking about my problem, I forgot that I was talking to a person I never met and I don’t know yet, but because I felt in her voice concern and care and very important a very pleasant person, my next question was when can we meet. She did help me and my family a lot, and now me and my family, we have the best Attorney, friend and someone we all trust with anything. I also would love to suggest, do not make any decisions before you talk to Farinaz, because you do not want to talk to just attorney, you must talk to someone how is a great person and very knowledgeable, just to begin with.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Farinaz worked for me for 2 and 1/2 years, while in law school and after she passed the Bar Exam. She is a charming young lady, with a warm and engaging personality. She is hard working, through and detail oriented. She worked primarily in the areas of employment and immigration law, while working for me. All of the clients loved her.

Ben Pesta, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 20, 2009
Relationship: Co-worker

I had the good fortune to work in close proximity to Farinaz Tojarieh for a year. She is a fine, diligent, intelligent and gracious young lawyer whose work habits are exemplary. Any client would, I am sure, be please to have Farinaz handle his or her matter.
