Barry is a great attorney who will fight for you and your children. He’s very knowledgeable in this area and you want someone like this in your corner. He’s a no holds bard type of attorney who doesn’t sugar coat, he tells you like it is. Divorce isn’t an easy process, but he stays on top of your case and is highly regarded by others. You want someone who doesn’t promise you the world but is realistic and meets all his promises.

Barry is an amazing attorney. He is very experienced in family court as well as the psychology that goes with it a crazy ex. I had a high conflict divorce and my ex tried to alienate my daughter. She tried every trick to ruin me (false restraining order for domestic abuse, lying to the judges, stealing assets, threats of violence by her new BF and her family). I dismissed two previous attorneys for wasting time and money and I successfully represented myself for a little while but I realized I needed extra help to finalize the divorce properly. Barry knows the system, tactics, other attorneys and how to play the game to win. I was able to get the divorce finalized with a very fair deal.. He also helped me get my custody rights restored and end the nightmare. I now enjoy my freedom away from my toxic ex and I see my daughter regularly. She and I can now heal from what her mother tried to do to us. NEVER give up on your children no matter what happens. Thank you Barry!

 
Child Custody

I came to Attorney Cohen for child custody because mother was seeking to deny me all custody rights. I was not at all familiar with the challenges child custody could present. Mr. Cohen assured me that he would do everything in his power to allow me to be a father to my son. Throughout this extremely stressful part of my life Attorney Cohen's actions/advise in the court room or on the phone gave me confidence and strength. He is by far the best Attorney I have encountered in my life. It was also very affordable to work with Mr. Cohen as I am not a wealthy man. Barry J. Cohen helped me achieve custody of my little boy, he is an amazing Attorney and a life long friend. Thank you for all the hours you took to help me understand things I never knew, for being firm and not backing down but extremely professional at the same time. I highly recommend Barry J. Cohen, he stands by his word and always looks for ways to overcome the obstacles that may arise for his clients.

I have retained Barry for divorce, custody and everything else thrown at me. His office is professional, approachable and friendly, they are very consistent with returning calls/emails. Attorney Cohen will fight for you as well as give you reality and jumps head in first, which is exactly what I need. I am very happy with retaining him to represent me in all matters that I have and currently am facing. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for an attorney who fights.

By far one of the best attorneys in Monroe County. My first attorney did not have much experience and it showed- then I changed to Mr. Cohen for results. You get what you pay for.

I hired Barry to defend me in my divorce and I couldn't have been any happier with the results. He gets the job done. Word of mouth and reading the reviews made my decision for me to hire Barry and I'm so glad I did, so if you are in need of representation he's the man you need.

I hired Barry to represent me for a divorce/custody matter. Barry was attentive, passionate and forthright. He was successful on both matters, and I could not have asked for a better advocate. Barry is an experienced litigator, and I would absolutely recommend Barry to anyone no matter what legal issues they may be facing.

As a child and a divorced proceeding I would not recommend this attorney I did not have an attorney to represent me during the divorce proceeding which I should have been entitled to and my parents were supposed to pay for but I will say that this is a severe Injustice

Mr.Cohen does not have anything to offer but take your money. The worse experience ever. Not trustworthy. Rude, Agranat. DO NOT OBATAIN THIS LAWYER AND EXPECT A GOOD OUTCOME. He will be reported to the board by me.

This lawyer failed his obligation according to his own contract. He did not get me the divorce he promised. I had to keep paying him more and more money and when I didn't have any more he wasn't willing to wait or receive reasonable payments. He terminated our contract from representing me and left me hanging where I had to hire another lawyer, by borrowing money, to start all over again. Barry Cohen was unprofessional many times, belligerent, manipulative, lashing out and degrading me with his theories of my mental health. I didn't pay him for his opinions of my mental well being or not well being. I paid him to get me divorced & the MC Bar Assoc appeased me with the only lawyers available, who actually know him, to fight for my retainer back, have rejected my complaint. Should I have expected anything honest when dealing with Barry Cohen and his 30+ years of seniority in town? Don't trust Barry Cohen. He's only good to use his knowledge of the law to cheat you out of your money.
