Keeping us on track!

Jeff is a really good Negotiator, calm in the face of adversity and always trying to reach a resolution. We're in a bit of an ugly lawsuit and have had lots of damage to our house by our soon to be neighbors... one violation at a time. It was great to see that our attorney was compassionate enough to... come by our home (twice) to make sure he understood the entire situation, first hand. Sometimes its hard to explain the small details that tell a story, therefore we feel really lucky to have found Jeff! He's able to see the big picture without losing sight of the detail. To top it off, he has a great sense of humor. grateful we found him!

Destroyed my chance of inheritance recovery

Attorney Cohen was hired to start immediately to try to recover money that my Mother left me as inheritance. I was in a hurry, tight time line. After he was hired he screwed me around for around 7 months . He took notes and we discussed but he would be very busy or traveling. As I found out later... he basically kept me at the back of the line and placed a higer priority on the firms favorite clients. I begged him to get the case in court before my father passed away, he didn't. So, I lost $225,000. that now is in the trust. The trust amont gets divided by 50 % , so I lost $113,000. to my sister. When this happened the firm FMBK would not return my money for this mess. Over $7,000. I have fallen into depression and have not recovered any of my Mothers money. Seyfarth Shaw hired him , I guess either didn't check out his past performance or didn't care. I wonder what this says about another Law Firm and their attorneys. He really screwed me over. I have all the e mails between Jeff and myself, proof of what took place. Find another attorney ! I should of sued him for Malpractice. These are my allegatioins

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
