Ella, the paralegal who worked closely with me, was truly wonderful always thorough, kind, and quick to respond to my questions. I appreciated the honest communication and the way she and my attorney Jill kept me well informed every step of the way.
Cohen & Cohen not only delivered excellent results but also gave me peace of mind knowing my case was in capable and compassionate hands. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a law firm that truly puts their clients first.

Had a fender bender that left my car totaled back in February. Was dealing with progressive and if you know anything about insurances its that progressive can be a little infuriating at times. Cohen an Cohen was able to negotiate with them and get back a decent settlement for me. Not only that all my bills were pretty much handled and I was able to walk out with a peace of mind. If you need representation due to a MVA ( motor vehicle accident ) I recommend Cohen. Ella was a great paralegal , she kept me up to date on the next moves and thats all I really ask for in these situations. She made the process a straight forward and simple one, for that I say thank you. Overall, great investment .

I reached out for a consultation to answer a few questions relating to car accidents and how to navigate injury cases. They answered every single question I had thoroughly, simply, and confidently. I am incredibly impressed with their expertise and professionalism. The best part, is they work off contingency so they only win if you do. 10/10 would recommend giving them a call and letting them help you! Thanks Cohen & Cohen!

I appreciate Miriam Calisher for being patient, understanding, and a true champion in the fight against the insurance company. This is an experience I will never forget!!!
Thank you Cohen & Cohen for enhancing my quality of life!!!

Cohen and Cohen is a Law firm that not only focuses on expert knowledge and execution of the law, but also provides world class customer service that makes you feel understood and valued as a client!
From the very beginning, Jill Stanley took my initial call and ultimately my case. Through multiple phone and video calls, she answered every question expertly and enthusiastically. As I moved through the legal process, I was made aware of every step, the possible options, and then given the space to make an informed decision free of pressure. In my final steps, I was turned over to Adam Leighton who intimately brought conclusion to my case. Adams ability to listen, understand and execute a plan is second to none. He worked tirelessly to get what we believed was an appropriate financial settlement. I am grateful for his time, energy, and knowledge of the law. He truly made this process manageable.
Thank you all for everything you did for me and my family. I could not be more satisfied!

Hire them if you get in a car accident. I was t-boned in March 2023. An airbag went off in my ear. And while I had no broken bones (nothing physically, actually), the other insurance company offered $10k. Settled for 10x that amount. All because of Adam Leighton and his fantastic team's great work on my behalf.

I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within one year of my accident and I truly believe they fought for a fair settlement as they were able to settle for significantly more than what we initially discussed. I am truly pleased with the care and Concern they had for me and my situation. They were a true advocate, and I would definitely return if I needed these types of services in the future. I will also be recommending them to people I know who may require these types of services. Thanks Cohen and Cohen!

I had an amazing experience with Cohen and Cohen. They were very professional and always had time for my questions. Britney and Riley were two paralegals I spoke through out the process both were patience, knowledgable, responsive, and just overall super helpful throughout the entire process. They truly went above and beyond to ensure I was informed and always on the same page. I would recommend Cohen and Cohen for anyone in need of legal assistance!
