I was surprised at this Lawyer's expertise in the handling of my case. Not only was he responsive with details and the progress of my case, but he was very pro-active resulting in the dismissal of the case. I could not have hoped for a better result and highly recommend this law firm.

No words can explain how grateful I am for Josiah and the Polansky law firm , just a few months ago i was falsely arrested and put in jail off of no evidence and a fabricated story. I was in and out of the system from when I was 16 to 21 years old, I had a record so i thought who in the world would believe me? Should I even fight this ? Has the system won ? I felt like I had no one in my corner besides my family, But Josiah he gave me faith he reminded in every conversation we had he is fighting for me that he believed me and he brought the truth to light. From in and out of court rooms, to not even having to step foot in one to dismiss my case on my first court date. I am overly joyed with the work Josiah and his team put in for me, now knowing a little bit about him as well . I consider the Polansky law firm family and would recommend then to anyone that feels they don't have a 2nd chance, thank you guys I am truly blessed .

Superb team of Lawyers and Staff, really helped me out and made the truth come to light. Josiah Cohen, in specific, was always available, attentive, and knowledgeable. I went from having my life turned upside down to seeing a bright future. 10/10 would recommend to anyone going through any kind of criminal legal trouble, especially in cases where deceit and overzealous law enforcement are involved. I can't say enough about how well they helped me. Will be recommending the Polansky law firm to anyone and everyone for the rest of my life.

It was a pleasure working with Josiah and Polanski Law firm. During the first consult, Josiah demonstrated a level of assertiveness, understanding, and creativity that reassured me that my case was in capable hands. Josiah was also incredibly efficient, delivering swift results and resolving my case before other offices had a chance to call me back for a consult. His reliable and consistent communication put me at ease during this turbulent time. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Polanski Law Firm again, specifically Josiah, should I ever need legal assistance in the future.

I was referred to Polansky Law and couldn't have been happier with the legal services offered. Josiah was an excellent attorney to work with, always responsive and communicative and willing to step up for individual's defense. He had a thorough understanding of the law, was sympathetic to the legal issues involved in the case, and served as a steady force throughout this arduous process.

I highly recommend Josiah Cohen to anyone looking for a criminal lawyer. He was attentive to my needs, explained how everything worked, and provided me with various options to consider. Throughout the process, he was always available to answer my questions and provided me with excellent support. Josiah is a true professional who is dedicated to his clients. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and strategic in his approach to each case. He is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers if it is in the best interest of his clients. He is also an excellent trial lawyer, and I was found not guilty thanks to his expertise. I am grateful for Josiah's reliable and prompt availability. His dedication to his clients is evident, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.

I am thrilled to write this 5-star review for Lisa Polanski, the incredible attorney who represented me during a challenging legal situation. From the moment I hired Lisa, her professionalism, dedication, and expertise were evident, and I am forever grateful for her exceptional work. Lisa’s negotiation skills with the federal prosecutors were nothing short of remarkable. She managed to secure a reduction in my 20-year charge to just 2 years, surpassing all my expectations. Her strategic approach, persuasive arguments, and unwavering commitment to my case were instrumental in achieving this favorable outcome. Lisa’s ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system is truly impressive. What sets Lisa apart is her genuine interest in understanding the uniqueness of each case. She invested significant time and effort to thoroughly research and familiarize herself with every aspect of my situation. Her atten

By far the best results I could have gotten! Josiah Cohen was there for me from the minute I spoke on the phone with him in reference to my legal issues. The day after I had first spoke with Mr. Cohen I called to ask a couple quick questions. Before I had agreed to hire him or even paid him a dollar, he told me he was very glad to hear back from me and he had been up late the night before strategizing how he could fight for justice in my case. In that moment, this small gesture brought tears of hope I couldn’t restrain. I knew he was going to fight for me full on and not give up. I felt heard, appreciated, and for the first time I had felt like I might make it through this terrible time. I strongly recommend Josiah Cohen and Polanski Law Firm to anyone who needs legal assistance with a DUI (even multiple) or any criminal charges. I want to give hope to others, that there is a light at the end of the darkness and Josiah Cohen helped guide my way back to that light.

Josiah was eager to take my case and fight it with a passion. From our first conversation going over the issue to our conversation regarding dismissal of all charges, Josiah was communicative, responsive, and helpful in terms of explaining the overall process. He vigorously went to bat for me and was prepared to do whatever it took to see that my rights and due process were not infringed. I am very lucky to have found Josiah and recommend him and the Polansky Law Firm without reservation.

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.
