Verified ClientHired Attorney 2014I recommend the Cohen Law Firm. They are very responsive, do what they say they will do, and even though the case is over, still following up to be sure everything is all right. Bottom line, they care. Much love, Andy.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2015Andy Cohen represented me well in court. Got my issue resolved in the court and got me great results. He gave me the run down on how court would go and it actually went just that way. So further let's me know that he knows his stuff. I would highly recommend Andy Cohen. Any legal matters this is the man who will get the job done. Andy is the BEST!!!!! NO MATTER THE SITUATION I PROMISE YOU WILL LEAVE SATISFIED!!!!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2015At an older age I found myself in an unfortunate set of circumstances and was charged with crime for the first time in my life. This was very stressful and I had a tremendous fear of the unknown. The outcome could negatively affect my ability to earn a living and provide for my family. I was also being sued in a civil action over the situation. With that being said, I took finding the "right" attorney very seriously and I'm glad I did. Andy and his firm take a small number of cases so they can provide very up close and personal representation and this made a huge difference to me, being my first time. Andy was very honest and patient with me as I had constant questions and worries. He was very upfront about the potential outcomes and never sugar coated anything. He and everyone at his firm are all very responsive and get back to you very quickly. Andy TRULY cares and that is very apparent early on all the way through, it felt like I was being represented by a long time friend. He also worked closely with my civil attorney so together they could provide me the best cohesive defense on both fronts. He is very laid back in person, but don't let that fool you, as he is very aggressive in the court room and fights tirelessly for his clients; it's clearly a personal mission for him. Throughout the course of my case I had the pleasure to also work and interact with Jill and Morgan, if you hire one of them you get the entire Cohen team fighting for you. Due to my line of work I work with lawyers on a regular basis (not criminal lawyers) and I can tell you this is truly a group of hard working, dedicated, caring, very responsive and highly skilled criminal attorneys. They got my case completely dismissed with no criminal record and saved my career! If you find yourself in trouble you would be hard pressed to find a better team to have on your side! I will never forget the way this firm fought for my rights and will be forever grateful!
