Positive: ProfessionalismWe hired Michael in December of 2018 to represent our son. My sons trial took place July of 2021. My son was found not guilty. I am confident in saying that had we not hired Michael, my son’s outcome would have been very different. Michael has a full-time private investigator on staff to do investigation. He will hire other experts, as needed, depending on your situation. He told my son, “I only hire the best.” As the client, you do have to pay for these experts. Or, you have the option to not pay the extra money for the expert. If Michael is recommending an expert for your case, I’d hire them. We hired two experts who testified for our son. These doctors had so many degrees and accreditations that I cannot even begin to list them all. Both are highly intelligent and accurate in their testimony. If you’re taking the time to read this review, you must be in need of a criminal defense attorney. There is no worse feeling than finding out your child is being accused of something they are adamantly saying they did not do. If you find yourself or loved one in this horrific situation, hire Michael Cohen. He will work tirelessly for you. He will be thorough. He will walk you through the process, step by step. He is quick to respond to questions. He returns emails in a timely manner. He has genuine care and concern for his clients. I’m thankful that we found him and hired him. Is he expensive? Yes! But ask yourself this: how much is your life or your loved ones life worth?? Spend the money! Hire Michael. He’s a fantastic attorney.We hired Michael in December of 2018 to represent our son.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueThree years ago, my cousin was misrepresented by another attorney who should not have handled this case. My cousin was put in prison at what could have been a life sentence at his age. We then contacted the Cohen Law Offices and had a meeting with Michael Cohen. It did not take long to know they were they were the best firm to handle my cousin’s case. Michael and his team immediately went to work digging into the information and untangling the mistakes made by the previous attorney. They went well over and above what was expected and now my cousin is back home with his family. We cannot thank Michael and his team enough for all they have done, I highly recommend them!Three years ago, my cousin was misrepresented by another attorney who should not have handled this case.

If I could give this attorney a zero rating I definitely would do so. Mr. Cohen defended me in 2019 in a case in which I was completely innocent of. He never gave me the opportunity to provide my side of “the story.” I paid him $15,000 and was given 10 minutes of his time a mere 3 times in which he told me, “I don’t care if you are guilty or innocent of these charges.” He never allowed me even 2 minutes of his precious time.

Critical: Responsiveness, ValueAbout a year ago, I hired Mr. Cohen to defend my brother on a drug possession charge. His case was complicated by the fact that he was advised by a court appointed lawyer in a previous case to plead guilty to a charge of drug dealing several years prior even though he was not a drug dealer nor has he ever been. He had been told at that time it was the quickest way to put it to rest and he wouldn’t go to prison if he pled guilty and he was anxious to make it go away. The possession charge came one week before he would have completed his probation from the earlier charge and his probation was revoked as a result and the court appointed attorney that represented him for that had just passed the bar a couple of months before. It seemed clear he needed a seasoned lawyer to represent him. I read the glowing reviews for Mr. Cohen and liked that everyone said he was very communicative about strategy and options so I thought he would do a good job for my brother. I was so impressed with Mr. Cohen in the beginning and he assured my brother he would get him out of the charges. When he stopped communicating with us that changed. Toward the end, he did not return emails or calls in which I presented questions about the case and what was planned and what was done. He also did not meet with my brother prior to court dates. He hired a professional to do a PSI and suggest favorable sentencing but she just recommended the same sentence that the DA suggested which was a shock since we were not informed before court of the recommendation. I wanted to also know why that was her recommendation. What was the point in presenting it to the court since it wasn’t going to help him. Just because it was paid for? In court the arresting officer lied on the stand more than once about why he destroyed evidence that may have proved favorable to my brother’s case and about why they were watching his house. Cohen expertly exposed the lies and we thought that would result in the case be dismissed but he didn’t even suggest it and they set another date to resume the hearing because they ran out of time. Mr. Cohen then told my brother should plead guilty and he wouldn’t get any more prison time. I think my $15,000 retainer must have ran out and that is why he wanted my brother to take a plea deal instead of pursuing dropping the charges since the arresting office lied about all of it. Yes, my brother made a mistake possessing a very small amount of meth that he should have declined when it was offered to him in appreciation of letting someone do their laundry at his house but he wasn’t an addict or even a routine user. But there was no real basis for their search of the property and we know of other cases where charges were dropped due to an unwarranted search. We had a hearing to try to get my brother released so he could get the medical attention he needed, his skin was gray and he felt like he was dying, but the jail would not address his concerns. The approach and lack of communication left us feeling like we didn’t get the representation I had paid so much money for. Maybe he did the best possible, but without any explanations from him it sure doesn’t feel that way. (I had to delete part of my review to make room for my update based on Mr. Cohen’s response. UPDATE: Mr. Cohen, my brother gave you permission to discuss everything with me so you can’t hide behind the “you were not my client” justification. He got the sentence YOU wanted because you advised him to plead guilty instead of having the case thrown out because the arresting officer lied repeatedly. You never explained to me why. I will forward to you all the emails I sent for which I got no response and if you can forward me the responses you claim to have sent, I will retract that claim (but there are none in my email account and I never deleted anything regarding his case) and appropriately update my review.About a year ago, I hired Mr. Cohen to defend my brother on a drug possession charge.
