    I cannot recommend Todd Cohen and his practice highly enough. From the very first consultation, Todd was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my case. Todd took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and kept me informed every step of the way. His attention to detail, strong communication, and dedication truly set him apart. I always felt confident knowing my case was in such capable hands. Thanks to Todd’s hard work and expertise, I achieved a great outcome. If you’re looking for an attorney who is responsive, trustworthy, and highly skilled, this is absolutely the one to call.

    Highly recommended. Attorney Robert Edelstein provided exceptional legal representation, exceeding my expectations. His expertise, dedication, and attention to detail resulted in the best outcome for my case under the circumstances. Worth noting that before I even retained his services or knew of him (and him of me) he -and Todd Cohen- were kind enough to assist me via a 3-way phone call with the authorities for a smooth surrender! they didn’t have to do it…but that’s what sets Robert, Todd and their firm apart! Robert is a “go-getter”, has the right connections, in touch with reality and has his clients best interest in mind for the best case outcome. Not to forget attorney Britney who also helped and their intake and office staff who are polite, professional and efficient. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a competent and reliable criminal attorney.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
