My Philosophy

PASSIONATE AND COMMITTED

After 23+ years in practice, my passion for the law remains as strong as ever.  In every case, I am committed to fighting for the rights of my client with integrity, and without judgment or prejudice.

APPROACH

Listening to the client’s perspective, the details of the case, clearly and patiently, and treating my client like an individual rather than a case number.

SEEKING A FAVORABLE OUTCOME

Each case is reviewed by the legal team and the best strategy is presented to the client. Whether it is to “take it to trial” or reach a favorable disposition, each case is presented based upon it own merits.

I'm beyond grateful to Jeffrey Cohen for their incredible work on my younger brother's case! They were an absolute rockstar, fighting tirelessly to get the best possible outcome. Their expertise and knowledge of the law were evident from the very start, and they guided us through the entire process with compassion and professionalism. Thanks to Jeffery Cohen my brother is getting a second chance, and we're forever grateful. If you're looking for a top-notch criminal lawyer who truly cares, look no further!

Definitely the Firm to have on your side. Jeffrey Cohen knows what he’s doing, when you have a good lawyer there is no need to speak and possibly incriminate yourself.

Smart and hardworking Attorney. He saved me from going to jail. He got my case reduced to a small fine which I happily paid. The entire process was smooth and effortless. You can trust Jeff with your life, as I do.

I hired Mr. Cohen to represent my teenage son in an unfortunate incident which could have scarred him for life. Mr. Cohen not only fought to make sure that my son had a fair shot, but he did it with such care and compassion. Aside from his extensive knowledge of the criminal law system, he made sure my son, and family as a whole, always had piece of mind. It felt like he was fighting for his own kid. As a result, my son was exonerated! Mr. Cohen gave my son another chance at life and I will forever be grateful to him for that.

I am not sure where to even start because this man was amazing, but I will start from the beginning. From the moment my brother in law was collared he was direct and on it. He was calling the precinct and setting things straight. Jeffrey was taking our calls from start to finish. The next morning he was calling my sister and giving us the information to meet him at his office so he can have a sit down discussion regarding the case and the possible outcomes. Him and his associate were beyond helpful, answering and explaining what ever we asked. Side note ( he even offered us drinks as well) and that was just something that stuck with me because he very welcoming and caring . As we waited for the paper work to be done from the DA he stood on top of it and explained the paper work to us, I basically had to be talked like an idiot because I am when it comes to these things. He continued to go back and forth dealing with us and dealing with my brother in law and doing the above and beyond! If you want a lawyer I recommend him not only due to the fact that he did the calls, the follow ups, the behind scenes work but when the time came for my brother to be called out he definitely impressed me. Let's just say the DA tried to slam him and yet he stated the facts of the situation and proved every point he could and instead of bail he is home with us. So if you need a lawyer for a loved one who has a case by he queens criminal court house use him. I highly recommend him!!! Thank you Jeffrey!! He got the job done great!!

A close friend recommended this lawyer last minute and I always trust his judgement and im so happy I did. From calling me , to meeting me first thing in the morning , to filling me in on all law aspects of the case he did above and beyond a great job. Im in the medical field so I have no clue on the law field and he took his time to sit down with my sister and I and explain every aspect step by step on what was going to happen in the case . He was constantly on top of the case from the precient to the court house to speaking with my family and I. He has a very nice office where he sat down and discussed what we were going to do proceeding in the case. He did all his best in helping the case be pushed foward and had many connections with people working inside the court. I was very pleased with him in court and I highly recommend him for anyone in need of a defense attorney. He is also convenint due to his office being across the street. Thank you again !
