Sam the Man to provide help

Sam is the kind of guy to call when you need help and aren't sure what to do. He's helped my family through several cases and situations. He has prevailed in getting us the best coverage and compensation when a law suit was necessary and helped us avoid becoming involved in other situations that wo...uld have become problems. I highly recommend you give Sam a call when you know a lawyer is needed and also consider giving him a call to discuss your situation even if you aren't sure that legal counsel is required. Sam has represented me in an auto accident/medical claim and other intellectual property business deals. My family is in better shape because of Sam’s advice and productive work.

Bruce Kistlers Lawyer

Sam was the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. He helped me through a very hard and painful lawsuit. Whenever I needed advice or answers to my questions he helped me through them . I was involved in a rear end accident with my 3 girls in the vehicle also, thank God they were not hurt just myself. Th...e person that hit us was 3 times the legal limit and also fled the scene until I had found him then he fled on foot to the woods but was caught a short time after. I was taken by an ambulance to the local hospital. They took x- rays and then I had an MRI on my whole back which found that I had suffered 2 herniated discs in my back and several bulging also. I had back surgery in 2010 to relieve about 50% of the pain. My doctor had used a device called Lanx Aspen which the piece was to separate my discs and it is fused to the rest of my spine. Sam was very clear with how I had to go about with my lawsuit and my doctor and Sam felt I needed to have the surgery to relieve some of the pain so I could return to work and a somewhat normal life. I feel he got me justice from the person who hit us that night. I always recommend him as a great lawyer.

Treated me fairly and got results.

I was referred to Samuel Cohen by a close friend after being involved in a serious car accident, and I am thankful. Having never been injured in an accident before, I was clueless. Mr. Cohen was very helpful; he returned calls promptly and kept me in informed as the case progressed. He was honest..., respectful and experienced. I would recommend him to a family member or friend without hesitation.
