A loyal advocate, a confidant and friend when you most need an experienced hand to guide you. Transplanted to Northwest Florida through the United States Air Force in 1964, I have grown my roots in the South. I received my B.S. in Business from Troy State University in 1970, then completed law school at Cumberland School of Law in 1973.
I am married and have raised four children who have attended public schools in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. After admission to the Florida Bar in 1973, I was enrolled to practice in the United States District Court and Bankruptcy Court in 1974. I served on the Board of Directors of the Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Association, was a certified Civil and Family Law Mediator.

In practice since 1973, I have been serving the individuals of Greater Pensacola, Florida, in a variety of legal areas. My career began upon graduation from the Cumberland School of Law in 1973. From there, I accepted a position with the office of the public defender. In that position, I gained valuable courtroom and trial experience which in turn affords me knowledge and insight that I exercise daily in each one of the various cases I take on.

Bankruptcy Law
Report
I understand your problem: Too much debt, not enough money. It's a huge problem. I have spent more than 40 years dealing with clients' financial issues and helping them to plan their best way forward, even when it seems like there are nothing but roadblocks ahead. I am attorney Joel M. Cohen, and I know that some burdens can be managed, whereas others need to be set aside if you want to be able to improve your situation.
Criminal Law
Report
The snap of restraints cuffing your hands, one-way transportation in the back seat of a police cruiser and the degrading booking process are signals that a life-changing experience is in progress. Investigators are trained in the art of interviewing and their focus is extracting statements from those suspected of crimes.
Elder Law
Report
Earlier in my career, I relished the idea of jousting with opposing attorneys in heated courtroom battles, defending the accused from oppressive authorities, government, banks, insurance companies and other Goliaths. I still have those fires, and still advocate for the downtrodden, but these days I let the younger gladiators draw the blood.
