Amazing Life Changer

I could not be happier with the outcome of my case, because of Attorney Cohen! She was incredible on all accounts. She is fair, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and will fight aggressively for you.

Professional and proficient

Moriel Cohen really helped me go through a difficult time. Moriel was not only professional in her work but also made me feel like she cared and got the job done successfully. She explained everything clearly and kept me aware of the court process and her action plans. I am very pleased with her work... and would definitely use her again if necessary.

Relationship: Other

"I highly recommend Moriel Cohen for your family law needs. Moriel is a thoughtful and common sense divorce attorney who carefully considers every angle before making a recommendation. She is very good at what she does. I was extremely impressed with her skills, organization, overwhelming knowledge, sincerity, and the awesome Marcus Family Law Center staff. Moriel made me feel like I was the only client she was representing. She informed me of all my options while steering me to choose the best. Moriel or the resident staff would return every phone call and every email in a timely manner no matter how minor the question. During my hearings, she remained calm, professional, and stayed on point. It was as if Moriel could translate my thoughts into cogent legal arguments that made the difference. She enjoys what she does and that's what makes her the best family law attorney, in my opinion. She is passionate and will help you reach your goals."
