I have known Bob for over three decades both personally and professionally. When my marriage fell to pieces and my husband decided I could leave with nothing after four decades of a relationship, I would go to no other Family Law attorney to aid me in seeing that did not happen. He is an expert in his field and will give his heart and sole (and his staff) to keep you sane and receive a good end. Bob is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him.

Bob Cohen sees the big picture. I feel he has my children's wellbeing as a priority. From day one in court I could see what I was paying for - Bob's integrity, knowledge of law and discernment are second to none. {para}My case has involved some very unpredictable and emotional issues, and Bob and his office have been the steady guiding hand from beginning to end.{para}I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bob to anyone in my situation.

Prior to my hiring Bob I had spent thousands of dollars on an attorney and yet still wound up with a lousy custody deal. When my ex husband took me back to court, I was referred to Bob by a good friend and hired him. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Not only did he fight for me, he won big time. He actually thought about my case. He used his experience to strategize and didn't just go through the motions. I recommend him highly. Worth every penny.

Hired Attorney

He’s a bulldog. Seems compassionate about your case but is a bit aggressive especially during an emotional and arduous time. He can seem ill-tempered and impatient at times but I believe he definitely knows what he’s doing as long as the client is also fully ready and committed to following along with his plans. So I can understand the other person calling him a bully on a previous review.

I find this attorney to use dishonest and down out right bullying techniques to try and win a case. You will spend an enormous amount of money with this attorney.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
