Michael was able to finalize my divorce after 16 years of dealing with lawyers that could not close the deal. He kept me informed step by step by copying me on correspondence with my ex-husband’s lawyer. Thank you for your professionalism.

I had spoken to Michael about a potential custody hearing and he was very methodical throughout the entire ordeal. He broke down what I needed to do and did not just humor me when I asked what our chances were. I end up hiring him and have no regrets whatsoever. With his help, both myself and the mother of my child were able to come to an amicable arrangement. In addition, Michael was very considerate of my budget and mindful of how stressful the whole situation was for someone who did not have much prior experience with the court system. In the end, this man does not only try to achieve a desirable outcome for his client, but also ensures they are able to maintain stability throughout the process. You definitely get your money's worth. And most of all, you get peace of mind. Fully recommend!

Michael Cohen has helped me a lot. He sat down with me, and normally listened to my story, and provided an enormous input to help me in my quest to resolve the matter presented against me in court. This was the first attourney in my experience, who actually is a decent human being. I was able to extinguish my worries, calm down for the night, and gain emotional traction to move on in the resolution of the matter. Being helped by this genuine person, while facing an array of charges in court, was one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you, dear Michael, for helping me! I wish you a continuing success, best of health, and happiness.

I've spoken to a lot of lawyers during my Lord of the Rings style quest for divorce information. Some have been courteous and given me a moment of their time. Some have point blank refused the second they think there's a possibility I won't be useful to them. Michael is one of the few with the kindness and patience to go through my case like a human being. He listened, he talked, and at the end, he recommended I pursued my case in a different state. Anyone who puts the time in to recommend you don't do business with them is the type of person I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doing business with. In a world of sharks, he is a dophin - agile, kind, and every bit as smiley as his picture shows. Talk to him!

Michael was a lifesaver when I was dealing with post-divorce parental alienation. He understood what I and my kids were going through and had the knowledge and experience to navigate through the dysfunctional NYS court system. He also had the wisdom and morality to advise me that in some cases my money would be ill-spent when he could have charged me for services. If you need a divorce attorney, mediator, or help with any post-judgement issue, Michael Cohen is your man!

I have spoken at length with Michael Cohen about divorce and I can tell you he knows and has experienced way more than your average divorce lawyer. There is no situation that he has not come across multiple times. Without his expertise I probably would have made a few expensive mistakes, not to mention the stress.

good lawyer to have on your side

I consulted with Michael Cohen regarding child support issues. He took the time to review court documents and provide valuable advice, even though it was only a consultation. I appreciate the time he put in to provide me with that advice.

Michael was an excellent attorney who helped me through a very difficult divorce with my very unreasonable ex wife. When Michael wasn't able to get me a quick , amicable and fair settlement, he began a more aggressive approach to my divorce. Michael began to slowly wear down my-ex and he finally helped me get settlement that I was pleased with. Michael knows divorce law and knows how to strategize against his adversaries to bring them to their knees when they are not amicable. His legal paperwork is also impeccable . Michael was pretty much superior to my wife's lawyer in every way from his professionalism to his litigation strategies. Michael is always available to speak with and always makes you feel your case is very important to him. Michael is knowable is ALL areas of divorce and custody and I would strongly recommend just about anyone in any situation to him.

Despite all of the emotional baggage, negativity and stress that comes with a divorce Michael is highly-effective at focusing on the getting though the divorce with least amount of collateral damage. I believe that we (Michael and I) came out of my divorce successfully. It's not winning, it's about coming out of it fairly. In my case, we have two young children involved. Michael and I developed a strategy and we stuck by it throughout the emotional roller coaster known as a divorce proceeding. Although the proceeding took a bit longer to execute than it should have (thanks to the flip-flopping of the other side), we finally got it done. Finances and kids fairly handled. Little to no collateral damage from the divorce proceedings. One comment that Michael made early on that impacted me is that a divorce is a business separation. Said another way, I/you need to look at divorce as a separation of a business-- nothing personal; it's only business. Anytime I found myself getting a little emotionally charged-up, I would remind myself, "this is just business." Beyond that, Michael is very knowledgeable and adept at providing the pros and cons for every question, option or scenario to help guide me (or you) through this journey. Most importantly, he knows the law. He was patient, kind, and really enabled me (or you) to make the best decisions with all of the information in front of you. Michael was not interested in starting World War 3 between you and your spouse if unwarranted, but he surely did not suffer fools lightly. If the opposing lawyer made poor comments, motions, etc. he was quick and aggressive to nip that in the butt. Anytime we hit some turbulence with the opposing lawyer, it was extinguished. I would strongly recommend Michael to another and I have already done so. I would certainly use him again, but I hope that I won't need to.

I used Michael for my divorce. He was my second attorney and what a difference he made from the first attorney. Whenever I called Michael he always either answered his phone or got back to me right away. He fought very hard for me and got my case settled as quick as he could. He also didn't bill me for every minute he could. I called him many times to ask him questions and he answered my questions and spent time on the phone with me and didn't chsrge me a penny. He made a difficult time much easier for me.

Michael represented me on several child support actions with Nassau County Family Court. • Honest accurate portrayal of what the court experience would be • Very effective in providing me options to consider, carefully explaining the pros and cons of alternative courses of action • Provided recommendations that proved to be effective. Did not encourage steps that would be unsuccessful or waste time and money. • Very empathetic. He took personal interest in me and my case. Years later, he still checks in to see how things are going • Made a painful process easier • I trust him and would hire him again I would be happy to discuss in more detail
