Im so grateful for the incredible support I received from Cohen & Cohen during my accident case. From the very beginning, they treated me with genuine care and respect. Their attentiveness and professionalism made a difficult situation so much easier to deal with.
Ella, the paralegal who worked closely with me, was truly wonderful always thorough, kind, and quick to respond to my questions. I appreciated the honest communication and the way she and my attorney Jill kept me well informed every step of the way.
Cohen & Cohen not only delivered excellent results but also gave me peace of mind knowing my case was in capable and compassionate hands. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a law firm that truly puts their clients first.

I cant say enough positive words for how well Cohen & Cohen treated me and the overall knowledge the firm brought to my case. I worked with Ava Wilde, who went above my expectations to deliver everything I asked for and actually went above and beyond and deliver the case closure faster than the time I anticipated. I cant speak highly enough of Cohen & Cohen and would 100 percent recommend them to any one thar need an exceptional law firm.

First of all, Ava Wilde (paralegal) is the sweetest and the best at what she does. Always been on top of her game. And i want to add that Jill Stanley (lawyer) knows waht shes doing and the give me some more time before we settle-s were definitely worth it.

I was extremely pleased with Adam Leighton's representation of me in my effort to recover for the significant injury I suffered when hit by a car while on my bike. He doggedly pursued the matter and skillfully negotiated a sum for me that was larger than I had anticipated -- without litigation.

Cohen & Cohen are fantastic attorneys. My wife and I were involved in a serious car crash in January 2024. It took us over a year and a halve to get everything settled, but the outcome was well worth the wait. We highly recommend this law firm!

Cohen and Cohen managed my car accident case with exceptional professionalism. Riley Kloc was incredibly helpful in navigating this stressful and painful situation, making it much easier for me.

She consistently kept me updated on my case through phone calls and emails. I cannot recommend them enough for their outstanding customer service.

Cohen and Cohen got the job done. After my auto accident two years ago, they handled the case professionally and secured the maximum settlement. Communication wasnt always warm and fuzzy, but they were effective where it counted. Glad I went with them.

I was in an accident March 2022 and was lucky enough for Mr. Leighton to be referred to me within a few days. I cannot sing this offices praises more. Throughout our 3 years together I felt heard and considered. Mr. Leighton was clear, communicative, and always had time for me. I felt so supported throughout the entirety of the process and was able to trust they all were taking care of this side of things. Everyone from the lawyers Ive met to the front desk staff, kind and just seems like good people. I would refer anyone I know to Cohen and Cohen. Im so glad to be done but also sad they arent a regular part of my life anymore. Thank you again to Mr. Leighton and the entire office staff. I hope you all always have cool pillows and only encounter green lights.

I reached out for a consultation to answer a few questions relating to car accidents and how to navigate injury cases. They answered every single question I had thoroughly, simply, and confidently. I am incredibly impressed with their expertise and professionalism. The best part, is they work off contingency so they only win if you do. 10/10 would recommend giving them a call and letting them help you! Thanks Cohen & Cohen!

Hire them if you get in a car accident. I was t-boned in March 2023. An airbag went off in my ear. And while I had no broken bones (nothing physically, actually), the other insurance company offered $10k. Settled for 10x that amount. All because of Adam Leighton and his fantastic team's great work on my behalf.

When I was struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian crossing the road and which left me unable to walk for months, my life went from security to uncertainty. Most realms of my life: my job, finances, physical ability, all was up in the air.

I was recommended the Cohen & Cohen Injury Lawyer Group through family friends who had stellar experiences and the same day of contacting them I met Adam Leighton.

This was my first time having to consult legal help, and Adam listened to me and the unique circumstances of my injury as a pedestrian in full. He answered all of my questions throughout every stage of the case and when he sensed I was overwhelmed he even called me personally over the phone, a testament to his personable and empathetic nature.

Adam worked swiftly with my case and at around the time I was cleared to walk again I had the case settled with all parties. Additionally, Adam was vigilant in tracking all hospitals that charged me for healthcare during my treatment, across 3 states and multiple hospital organizations.

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer in Adam. His confidence is backed up by his performance and he made sure I received everything I was owed to the maximum amount. I did not have to worry about my finances and could focus solely on my health and rehabilitation. Through Adam I was rest assured my future was in good hands. I would recommend Adam and the Cohen & Cohen Personal Injury Lawyer Group to anybody, first time or not in dealing with their injuries. You want them on your team!

I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within one year of my accident and I truly believe they fought for a fair settlement as they were able to settle for significantly more than what we initially discussed. I am truly pleased with the care and Concern they had for me and my situation. They were a true advocate, and I would definitely return if I needed these types of services in the future. I will also be recommending them to people I know who may require these types of services. Thanks Cohen and Cohen!
