I contacted Mr. Cohen in the midnight hour and he took my case. Mr. Cohen was REALLY attentive, great follow through and provided me with the support I needed. Not only did he work diligently to resolve my case on a holiday weekday, he worked out the best negotiation I could ask for. THANK YOU!!!

Worst attorney to represent a landlord. He completely was not prepared nor did he fight for my rights under GA law for a landlord. The law is clear if tenants do not pay, they need to pay or vacate. I needed them to do both. I had free loading tenants living in my deceased father's home who had not paid rent. Tenants knew living there was a temp arrangement. After the owner died, they were asked to vacate so that home could be inventoried and put on market for sale. This attorney has jeopardize the only asset my father has due to the financial burden these tenants have created by living in the home for 2 months without paying rent. It was known that there is no money in the estate and property must be sold. I must show property to potential buyers to get sold asap. However, tenants made demands that I would only be able to come to my property upon 48 notice via attorney. (What??) After attorney agreed to this rule, I was confused and thought this was the law. However, after researching on my own, I learned GA does not have a status on a time notification when a landlord may enter property. I thought my attorney would have objected and rejected this request from tenants knowing I have to sale property. Since the tenants lived at property, I have always given them 24 hour notice if I was showing property to real estate agents and to potential buyers. As Administrator of this estate, I must show property to potential buyers because of the financial hardship on the estate. There is no money coming in and bills have to be paid. I was sworn and took an oath to inventory, secure and protect my late father's assets. I have not been able to properly do this with tenants there. I got no support from this attorney to speak up and allow me to do this. This has been a very emotional situation for my family who have wanted to be at property during this time to grieve our loved one and have closure. These tenants took advantage of situation in which they preyed on the grieving family by taking over home and trying to stay as squatters. They have not respected the deceased belongings or items in home as made home filthy. I had hoped hiring this attorney would have given me guidance and advice to help protect my property from tenants, get rent collected with 7 day move out date. I had a goal that hiring an experienced attorney would fight on my behalf to recoup my filing fees, my backed owed rent, as well as negotiating tenants vacating in 7 days instead of giving them 3 additional weeks while collecting no rent, restricting me from showing property while expecting me to continue to cover all utilities. It's been Unbelievable! If you are an inexperienced first time landlord, it is better to save your money, the headache and negotiate yourself than risk the poor legal representation as I experienced.

I enjoyed working with Sasan and found him to be prompt, professional, and very flexible. I'd recommend giving him a shot to handle zoning law issues for your business.

I called Michael regarding a leasing dispute and he provided very helpful legal advice during our consultation. It also never felt rushed whatsoever! I’d most certainly use Michael should this dispute escalate. Thanks again!

Micheal is straight and to the point, he will take the time to listen and offer his honest opinion, i had a really good feeling about him, I hired him on my case for land lord tenant and other dispute and he gave me the best possible out come ..He is a Five star lawyer he keeps the other side on their feet and he will fight for you. Good work Michael You ROCK!!

Mr. Cohen was a thoughtful, responsive, and encouraging advocate. We were involved in a car accident and were very anxious about the pending traffic court date. Mr. Cohen’s knowledge and familiarity with the local court system put our minds at ease. He set our expectations for the day, and we were pleased with the results. Really glad we hired him.

When I found myself on the bad end of a dispute over the return of my security deposit from a shady landlord, I contacted attorney Michael Cohen. And boy am I ever glad I did. From the moment I met Mr. Cohen on the phone and shared the details of why I needed to fight for my security deposit, his immediate passion made it feel less like an attorney/client relationship and more like a friendship. If it's possible, he seemed even more offended than I was that my former landlord wasn't returning my money - a substantial amount. He offered many great ideas, advice and approaches to begin the process, and yet I ALWAYS felt like I was the one in charge. Not that I've had a ton of experience hiring attorneys, but that's very often not the case in my experience. Mr. Cohen was as accessible as he was kind and approachable throughout the entire ordeal, and he negotiated on my behalf to a very successful outcome. I don't know if he just felt like I needed help because I was being unjustly shafted by an unscrupulous thug, but I suspect he treats every client and every case with the same amount of passion, approachability and conviction. Without question I would recommend Michael Cohen to anyone in need of a lawyer who really knows his stuff, and is capable of fighting and winning for you. Lord knows I hope I never need an attorney for anything again, but if I do I know who I'm calling first.
