I have know and worked with Milton for almost 15 years and have never know him to perform any less than excellent. His approach is calm, his experience is hard to match, his suggestions are always value added and his recognition of what is needed to be accomplished is comforting. Milton and I have had numerous documentation transactions over the years and I have never walked away with the sense that I was not well represented.

I was engaged by Milton as a forensic accountant to investigate fraud issues at one of his clients. Milton was extremely responsive to both the client and I. I could tell that, as the client's corporate attorney, he really cared about helping the client. Milton was very knowledgeable and professional in my dealings with him.

Jason was great! He immediatly addressed my concerns by having me forward the documentation regarding potential litigation against my company. After forwarding the documentation, I received a return call right away from Jason stating that there were numerous legal reasons why the other parties claims were worthless, and that if he needed to defend my company, he was certain he would be able to do so with 100% success. He drafted a letter to the other attorneys directly addressing the other parties concerns, stated that he felt their case was without merit, and that if needed, he was going to defend us aggressivelly. Jason was able to refute thier claims with clear cut legal precedents put in place to protect me and my small company. His obvious working knowledge of the law took immediate pressure off of us and we did not hear from the claiments again. Thank you Jason!

I was involved in a very lengthy divorce and custody battle. I had spent a fortune and had gotten nowhere. A friend referred me to Mr. Fenerty. I was amazed from our first telephone conversation. He completely understood my perspective and he also was able to explain my former spouse's take on things as well. He explained the legal stuff to me in a way I understood it and recommended that we try to calm things down. I was doubtful but I really trusted him. He took my case. He immediately called my spouse's attorney - who he knew (oh, it seems like this man knows everybody) and things changed immediately. We went to court a few times on the custody and the divorce and succeeded every time. I now am sharing custody of my kids and I feel like I did great in the divorce. Things have gotten better with my ex and I have never been happier. I ended up paying him much less than my prior attorney who accomplished so little. He is a really down to earth guy and he really seemed to care about my case.

What can I say, sometimes we find ourselves in a tight spot. Don't take a knife to a gunfight. Scott defended me throughly and treated me with dignity, I walked away and learned from the misunderstanding with no criminal record, with the charges dropped. Maybe I didn't need "the best" but better safe than sorry when it comes to the judicial system, I hired Scott and would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a serious criminal lawyer.

Perry came with the highest recommendation and delivered. From an initial consultation within an hour of contacting him and through a seven month ordeal of hearing and court dates, he and his staff were always responsive , informative and supportive. He outlined everything that would and could happen beforehand, reviewed everything that did happen after and always kept me aware of my options. It is beyond comforting to have 'The' lawyer on your side who draws the notice of everyone - other counselors and court staff included - when he enters the courtroom.

After doing hours of research, including speaking to many famous local attorneys, I discovered that Dennis Cogan is one of Philadelphia's best, if not the best, attorney for criminal defense. He was a great choice because he beat my complicated cases. And no, I am NOT a criminal, just an innocent person falsely accused by Philadelphia's crooked cops who had a long history of complaints for similar corruption, all of which were covered up by Philadelphia's crooked joke of a police department.

Having been a trial lawyer engaged in litigation for forty years I have encountered innumerable attorneys engaged in litigation. My experience is: 1. that there are very few attorneys that excell in trial tactics/logistics, 2. there are very few attorneys who have total command of legal issues, 3. there are very few attorneys that come to court totally prepared on every potential issue, 4. there are very few attorneys whose presence totally controls a courtroom. Cogan is unique in that he excells in all these aspects of representation. As a highly regarded trial attorney stated to me as we we watched Cogan addresss a judge on a complex legal issue, "there is Dennis and then there is the rest of us".

Dennis Cogan is the Da Vinci of the art of law and the very best trial attorney in the country. I am hardly the only person, lawyer or not, who believes that. Mr. Cogan is the definitive embodiment of every desirable characteristic an attorney could have, including creativity, intelligence, knowledge, integrity, work ethic, motivation, meticulousness, street smarts, sincerity, compassion, and fairness. Mr. Cogan's explosive enthusiasm for prevailing in court and winning at life in general is highly inspirational and contagious. His electric charisma (both the star and leadership kinds), dignified aggressiveness, and respectful spontaneity during trials is breathtaking. I should know better than anyone, as Mr. Cogan won all nine of my difficult-to-win cases for me. Amongst Mr. Cogan's hundreds of spectacular, screams-volumes-about-his-superhuman-talent achievements include holding the record for the largest civil judgement against the Philadelphia Police Department and being the lead prosecutor of the homicide unit at the young age of 27 whilst a Philadelphia assistant district attorney. Watching this legendary, larger-than-life god in court is like watching a highly entertaining, brilliantly acted, intricately scripted, and expertly directed Broadway play, sans the frivolous song and dance. I often wondered who was actually running the show, the judge or Mr. Cogan, who invariably commands extreme respect from all involved. Mr. Cogan's youthful looks, endless energy, and infinite passion belie his true age. As expected, Mr Cogan's staff is purely top-of-the-line, from the associates right down to the receptionist. This is a genuine, unsolicited review, not that anyone who knows Mr. Cogan would ever suspect otherwise.

Ms Mandi represented my firm in several cases regarding construction accidents. Very large projects, high profile owners where deep pockets were anticipated. Ms. Mandi understood the law, questioned construction OSHA regulations, procedures and general work practices far above our expectations. Not only did she attend an OSHA 10 hour class to gain more knowledge, she also visited the construction site to see exactly for her self the conditions that would have been similar to the case. We found her to be friendly, responsive, dedicated to our company, and attentive to our needs.

I was wrongly convicted [shoplifting] and was concerned I wouldn't be approved for Citizenship although I've lived in the U.S. for over 30 years. Several attorneys I consulted with were very negative but then my wife's friend mentioned M.R. Cohen was THE lawyer to go to with tough cases. I met with him at his NE office [he has others in Center City and NJ] and instead of discouraging me, told me I should apply and he thought there was a good chance he could get me approved! As we processed the application I immediately saw a big difference. His attention to detail was amazing. Again and again he suggested better ways to deal with an issue, made me get additional documents, etc., but in the end I understood why his 30+ years experience is a big edge to the other lawyers I had met! I was approved and am very grateful Mr. Cohen agreed to represent me. He's helping me sponsor my brother and mother and I'd never want to use any other lawyer.

In my professional experience, I have worked with a number of attorneys on a range of matters. While many exhibit professionalism, none has surpassed the blending of professionalism, candor and empathy that Joseph possesses. He has guided me through a sensitive legal matter that intertwined a complex set of business and personal concerns. He has also advocated successfully on my behalf in purely business matters and liability issues. Through them all, he has demonstrated unswerving capabilities and a clear understanding of exactly what it means to be an advocate. He is a source of sound advice and good counsel, and above all...a directness that exudes an understanding of the matter at hand combined with the varying needs of the client; ranging from the obvious legal to the psychological to the practical. Whether it being simply to serve as a sounding board or to think through contingency and strategies...Joseph is a wise man, a family man and a good man. He is responsive and communicative in a timely manner, as he understands that your respective legal matter might very well be the most pressing issue in your life, and he treats it as such. I have never, ever felt like a number or simply another manila folder on his desk. He is someone I have come to rely on and also have the privilege to come to consider a friend. To simply say that I could not recommend Joseph more wholeheartedly does him little justice.

I hired Doug's firm in March 2014 and he was quickly assigned my case. At the time, my company was in the process of trying to recover a large debt from one of our vendors, on our own, for 2 years. In order to pay us, our vendor had to sell his company, which only complicated things. From the beginning, Doug showed himself to be very "hands-on" and proactive. The case was far from simple, but Doug was always prepared for every twist and contingency. After nearly 18 months of negotiation, we closed a very good deal which allowed us to receive a large portion of the debt upfront and reasonable terms on the back-end. We were so pleased with Doug's performance that we still consult him on other matters nearly 1 year after the case was settled.

Through no fault of my own, I found myself embroiled in a complicated multi-level governmental personal injury case. I was struck by a vehicle driven by a municipal employee assigned to a federal task force. I suffered significant serious injuries and loss of work time as well as property damage. I faced a legal battle against a defendant with unlimited financial resources as well as teams of experienced attorneys. In addition, the legality in governmental cases is quite complicated. From the very beginning, Anthony assured me he would take care of me, and I should concern myself with my health and recovery, that he would handle the legal side of things. He kept me informed along every step of the way of a long, complicated legal process. His advice always came with an explanation of why he was advising of such. It took a while, but in the end I received a good settlement. I honestly could not have done it without Anthony. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a personal injury attorney. In my opinion, he is the best.

While riding his bicycle, my husband, Chris, was hit by a car whose driver ran a red light. Chris sustained serious injuries, and we knew that we needed to contact a lawyer to help us protect Chris's future, which will probably be full of pain. It was a good feeling to entrust Chris's lawsuit to Anthony's capable hands and not have to worry about the processes or the outcomes. We were able to focus on Chris's health needs and our family's needs (we have four young children) and did not use up energy on the lawsuit, as we knew that Anthony was taking care of it. Anthony was extremely supportive throughout the claim and advised us what to expect along the way. It was a true pleasure working with Anthony on such important matters. His care of Chris as a person and his concern for our whole family demonstrates Anthony's fine character, and it is clear that Anthony enjoys his work and helping others. We were fortunate to have been served by Anthony and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent, knowledgeable advocate.

I highly recommend Attorney Kenneth Edelin and Paralegal Orobosa Enagbare for anyone looking for representation! They walked me through the whole process and worked with me the whole time. I cannot thank them both enough! I was facing an issue being able to pay a lawyer in full and Ken worked with me on a payment schedule. Ken and Orobosa were quick to answer any of my calls or emails.

I hired Hank to help me after I suffered an accident. He was professional, thorough, and always attentive to my questions and concerns. He obtained the best possible settlement very quickly, far more than I would have obtained representing myself. I had a great experience working with Hank and would recommend him to anyone needing an effective attorney.
