Extremely effective and intelligent attorney who is not looking to drain client’s financially. I had been through 4 attorneys previously, he’s the real deal
Bob Cohen is the kind of attorney who you want in a matrimonial action. first of all, he takes your case very seriously and gives you personal attention. He makes sure to know every aspect of your case and of your personal situation. Bob and his firm know the applicable law and make sure that your rights and best interests are protected. He has great experience and knows his stuff. Mr. Cohen and his firm are very professional and will get you the most favorable results. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Cohen or his firm for any matrimonial or litigation case.
Bob was by my side every step of the way through my entire divorce. He was recommended to me and I would highly recommend Bob to anyone who unfortunately is getting divorced. I never once felt alone or unsure because he would immediately respond if I needed him, and explain things to me in a way that always made me feel safe. He understood that I was speaking from the emotional side and I understood that he was the legal side. He insured that we felt like a true partnership to get me my positive outcome at the end. I loved how tough he was with me when needed, his sense of humor when appropriate and how I never could’ve done this without losing my sanity and getting through my divorce without him. without him. Everyone in the entire firm was just as wonderful and professional as Bob. Hearing Ruth’s voice at reception would be the first to bring me comfort and then Denise always had all the answers if Bob was not available. A huge thank you to Robert Cohen and the entire firm of Tabot , Cohen, Blum , Yovino and Diesa !
Robert was highly recommended to me and he lived up to the referral as well as more. Bob takes the unknown out of the divorce process and approaches it head on while explaining the progress allowing the client to feel less overwhelmed. He is a negotiator, your best advocate as well as someone who will get you to a settlement as quickly as possible. As his assistant said, " don't worry, he's got your back". Bob is considerate and respectful and very fair. I appreciated his quick response and thorough support from his staff. He knows when to get tough ( and he does) and when to ease off so as bring both sides and lawyers to an agreement. Thank you Bob for being instrumental in allowing me to move forward!
Bob Cohen is amazing. He has a wonderful ability to be aggressive and negotiate at the same time - and he manages to do so with humor and charm. I had an awful 4 year long divorce and ended up losing half my kids and spending a lot of money on a lawyer to help me lose! Then my ex took me back to court because I moved although it was legal according to our divorce. I hired a different lawyer who also seemed to be losing - again! Then I hired Bob. He worked magic. I ended up with a completely different structure where one kid actually gets to totally live with me! For the first time not only did I not lose - I won. If you are getting divorced you NEED a lawyer to help you win. The truth is not enough. Get Bob. I wish I’d had him all along.
Bob Cohen was highly recommended to me and I was impressed from our first meeting. He has been a reliable, honest and fierce advocate for me throughout my litigation. If you want not only a smart attorney but a winner, you want Bob. He wants to win and he wants to win for you. When he can accomplish this, you will know it – he won’t lie to you. I am glad he was on my side of the table and I would not want him sitting across from me. He is responsive, takes your calls and emails and takes the time to explain your options as well as what he is doing and why. His entire office staff has been a pleasure to work with as well as being advocates for what Bob is trying to do. They deserve the recognition as well. I recommend Bob Cohen without reservation. You want him.
Robert A. Cohen, "Bob", was recommended by someone that I knew and trusted. I was 8 months into my divorce, on my second lawyer and felt that the legal system was unfair and had a lack of faith in lawyers. Right away I knew Bob was the REAL DEAL. He was always very clear on what to expect and I stopped feeling worried and stressed about my situation. I knew that since Bob was my lawyer I would be okay. Every time I emailed or called him he responded right away with all of the answers that I was looking for. Bob Cohen went above and beyond. Prior to any important court appearance or deposition, Bob would meet with me to consult and thoroughly explain what would happen and any important documents he would need from me. In addition, if there was ever an issue that was occurring between my "husband" and I Bob Cohen would reach out to the other side and helped me avoid a potential conflict with my "husband". This alleviated a lot of unneeded stress for me. Bob Cohen is a genuine lawyer with a lot of class and knowledge. This is evident in how he carries himself in the courtroom and deals with other lawyers and judges. He is a step above the others and anyone that knows him would agree with me. Bob Cohen was able to get me all of the things that I requested for my divorce settlement. I came to him at a very difficult point in my divorce and he turned it all around for me. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bob Cohen!!!. He truly is the best lawyer!!
When my divorce first began I was involved with another lawyer that made a very difficult divorce and custody battle even more difficult. When it got to the point where I knew I had to move on, I was recommended to Robert Cohen at Tabat, Cohen, Blum and Yovino by a trusted colleague that had used him before. After my first meeting I knew he was the right lawyer for me and switched to him right away and It was one of the best decisions I made. He was a light during this incredibly difficult process. Smart, kind, respectful, completely accesible and a force when needed and necessary. He was honest and advised me well about where my expectations should be with things and always explained thoroughly all the different possible outcomes, so nothing ever felt like a surprise. Everyone that I dealt with in his office were also fantastic and always took the time to explain things to me if needed. I never felt disconnected and I always felt well protected and taken care of. I truly cant recommend them enough!
I hired Bob because I knew he'd be able to handle a possibly contentious divorce. I needed someone who was well respected in the courts, extremely knowledgeable and would fight for me and my children. From the beginning Bob was a straight shooter and told me exactly like it was. No empty promises, no bull and I respected that immensely. He was always prepared for court and always had my best interests and the best interests of my kids at heart. He genuinely cares about my case. In the end, he was a terrific negotiator and always kept me in the loop of what was happening. He went above and beyond to settle my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a strong attorney.
Bob Cohen represented me in my divorce 13 years ago. To this day I am so grateful to him for his knowledge, his understanding, his compassion and unwavering support and guidance. My children and I truly had and have a much more healthier and fuller life after divorce because of him. Through the years I have recommended him to friends who thank me continuously. He is everything one would want representing them during this trying time and he believes in "happily ever after"
