About

When I’m not serving clients’ needs or spending quality time with my wife and two awesome kids, I can be found on my road bike traveling the back roads, or in the woods on my mountain bike.  I was born right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, and grew up in Haverford Township, Delaware County.  After graduating from Haverford High School, I attended Tulane University in the wonderful city of New Orleans, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Management.  I graduated from Widener University School of Law in 2000 and have been practicing to be a different kind of lawyer ever since!

Scott A. Cohen has been so caring and compassionate, a great listener and patient. He listened to what I wanted and what will work out best for me. I hired Scott Cohen twice, yes I said twice, Both times were great second time my girls dad was being difficult, but even then he still helped me get what i wanted, due to girls father being difficult now it's the next step so with that being said that will be a third time. Any way, He was always available answer any question, reassured me if I don't feel comfortable with something then I do not have to agree with it. Before I hired Scott i read his background I read his reviews. He helped so many people. First time I hired Scott I was nervous in general for court he helped calm my nerves and made sure he helped me get what i wanted and was best for my girls. We had a consultation and just by Scott taking his time to see what was going on and what i wanted to do about my situation that was it he became my lawyer for the case. Another thing that was so great about Scott Cohen, he is reasonable with the payments plans he works with you, he will walk you through the process he's there with you from start to finish he won't let you down until you're satisfied. When you know what you want, you tell him he will work until you get what you want.

I hired Mr. Cohen to get the job done and he did just that. The only downfall was the time it took to complete my divorce. To no faults of Scott of course. The courts are so backed up it took a while. The positive part was being able to contact Scott and he almost was always available to speak with me. He kept me in the loop with everything that was going on in my case and that was one of the most important things to me. I do recommend Scott if communication is a big deal because he does make it a point to stay in contact and include his client.

I was lucky enough to obtain Mr. Scott Cohen as my attorney regarding a custody issue I was having. This was a very difficult time for me both emotionally and financially. Mr. Cohen worked with me and treated me like a human, not a paycheck. There was never a time a call went unreturned or an email unanswered, and believe me, there were many. Being involved in any legal situation that focuses on your children comes with anxieties and stresses that are exhausting. Mr. Cohen was beyond patient with me and he showed genuine care and concern regarding my case. I truly believe that level of service does not come often enough these days. Although I am grateful for everything Mr. Cohen did for me, I am most appreciative of the fact I did not feel alone. I had no experience navigating the court systems and they are extremely complex and intimidating. I had no idea how to proceed with anything, how to respond to anything, I was completely lost. Then I reached out to Mr. Cohen and I finally felt solid and strong knowing that I had him on my side and in my corner. Scott Cohen will always be my first recommendation for anyone needing legal services but especially to those needing help regarding family court. Family law issues require an attorney with compassion and understanding, as well as legal expertise and Scott Cohen possesses all of these skills. 10/10

Scott has been with me the last few times I went to court for a custody and relocation hearing. I was not the easiest client (momma bear) and I did not submit memos on time (and this last time not at all) and Scott still Fought for me and WON! I fought him on things but his advice was right and it was the reality check I needed to make a sound case for why I was opposing. He stayed calm, he remained in control of the narrative, he was informed and he even did spot on research during the hearing that held in court. I couldn’t of asked for a better representative and will always come to him first in the future. He was affordable, on-time for court and responsive. I had two different lawyers who showed me none of that an it made me as a single mom really appreciate finding Scott an him having my sons back. My sons Father tried to request primary physical custody - Scott shut it down. My sons Father asked to have my 5year old son become a frequent unaccompanied minor on 6 hour flights - Scott shut it down. The biggest thing I can say I admired about him was knowing he had no submitted evidence and he still spoke on my behalf with my best interest. Thank you Scott. Truly thank you.

Highly recommended, my sons mom tried to keeps us apart by claiming I’m abusive and not qualified to care for your son. The day we went to court it was a blessing to have Scott represent me because I’m pretty sure the judge would have took her side with all those lies she was accusing me of.

I was being in a bad situation with my daughter's father, the things escalated to a point that he restrain my daughter from me and he didn't let me see her just the days that he wanted, then at the court Scott did everything he had on hands to get the fair agreement that I wanted since the beginning which was shared physical and legal custody, what he did for me means everything!!!!!!

I was very stressed about my custody situation prior to my consultation with Scott. Furthermore, when I first saw his amazing office I was intimidated but after speaking with Scott he not only assuaged my fears about the fees associated with a child custody case he also made me very confident in the probability of winning. Scott is actually one of the first attorney's I've spoken to in regards to this case that was compassionate about my financial situation as well as attentive to what my expectations are for an outcome. I will post another review at the end of my case, but I suspect my feelings and rating of Scott's services will not change rather if they do they will only get better.
