I inquired about a past issue from my younger years and Michael was Extremely Helpful,Responsive and went the extra mile to thoroughly Answer the questions I had.

Matthew J Krische is a very professional and thorough attorney. He was a very strong advocate for me. Straight forward, clear, decisive and intelligent. I would strongly recommend Matthew.

Happy with the out come of my case. Mike Cohen is very knowledgeable and works hard to get the best results. Highly recommended.

Michael Cohen and Christopher Wilhelm are the best attorneys is Eau Claire. They each provided the best case outcome possible.

I was looking at serious felonies from issues back 17 year ago. I hired Mr. Cohen and he said he would do all he can to fix this. This man did that and more. He is defiantly a man of his word. For any and all serious issues I would recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone for anything. Thank you Mr. Cohen for giving me my life back.

Attorney Cohen is absolutely amazing! Any unexpected legal situation you may find yourself in can be scary and seem uncertain. Mr. Cohen goes above and beyond making you feel like you are in good hands. He knows the law and was persistent at fighting for me. He worked fiercely on my case and didn't back down! I highly recommend him! He's the best!!

I have been working with Attorney Cohen for approximately 10 years and together, we have obtained outstanding results for Mr. Cohen's clients in almost every case. Mr. Cohen is a thorough and competent professional who does not hesitate to do what it takes to obtain a positive outcome. He is passionate about helping his clients and clearly has an exhaustive understanding of the law. I think what I appreciate most about Mr. Cohen is ability to think creatively on each and every case he takes on.

About 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possession charge came one week before he would have completed his probation from the earlier charge and his probation was revoked as a result and the court appointed attorney that represented him for that had just passed the bar a couple of months before.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.

After securing his firm’s services by phone, I met Michael Cohen in person at my initial, brief and only court appearance; it was clear he was very knowledgeable and conscientious. He carefully walked me through my case’s implications, patiently clarifying my questions. Apart from my first court appearance, he represented me from then on until my case was closed, saving me considerable time and miles. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Every experience I've had with Cohen law firm has been a great one. They are very prompt and professional.

Attorney Michael Cohen was awesome. We are so grateful he took our case. Because of his knowledge and hard work we can now move past this terrible experience. We would highly (only) recommend him and his law firm with any Criminal charges! Thanks again Michael for all you do, and did. Wish there were more people like you in this world!!
