TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

BEWARE OF THIS FAMILY LAW FIRM!! I was represented by Tessa and Matthew Cohen Until recently for almost a full year. After about five months of the representation they just completely stopped working for me and they are very hard to get a hold of. They like to make a lot of promises and then do not... come through just to keep you on board with them. I worked directly with their assistants when we were not in court and they fired not 1 but 2 of their assistants while working on my case. This ultimately cost me a lot more money because you have to re-go over everything with the new assistant and I did this three times. Their current assistant to my knowledge is Michelle an is complete nightmare. She has yelled and hung up on me on two different occasions in three months of working with her. Overall I parted ways with these attorneys and they have still withheld my information and tried overcharging me numerous times. The payments that I already made they do not put in the outstanding balance and do not ever get back to you or acknowledge that they are wrong to get the bill straightened out. Terrible experience with Matt and Tessa and Cohen family law. This firm is all about money, they take on so many cases that they lose your paperwork, overcharge you and do not respond. very unorganized, extremely unprofessional and unreliable.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Working with Tessa as opposing counsel is always enjoyable yet professional. She goes over proposed language in paperwork with a fine toothed comb. Nothing gets by her, and it is a benefit both to the party she represents as well as the other side."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
