A true lawyer for the people

Prior to meeting Mr. Cohen I was nervous about my legal situation and even more nervous about meeting a lawyer. He was professional, made me feel comfortable and most importantly a good listener. He understood me and gave me a list of options and possible scenarios. I felt like I was in the driver's ...seat and he was my copilot. My biggest fear in speaking with a lawyer was I would be over charged and be out of the driver's seat. This was not the case. Mr. Cohen was upfront about pricing and legal strategic options. He is very knowledgable and resourceful. I felt like I was able to take control of my legal situation and my life.

"I have gotten to know Joseph over the last few weeks and I think he is going to be a real force in the Milwaukee legal community. He comes to town with the impressive experience of working for a large firm in Manhattan as a part of very complex business deals. Clients will be thrilled to have his expertise and attention to detail applied in his intended approach to create a new kind of client-centric practice, and the Milwaukee legal community is fortunate to have him."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
