Advocacy Center for Employment Law

This attorney mislead me in order to get me to pay him for services. He claimed to have a good relationship with the lawyers in the opposing party, which would help him reach a quick settlement. It took him almost a month to reach out to the opposing party, which he had no clue who to contact. He told me that he would charge me for four hours plus attend the trial setting conference. He explained the trial setting conference takes awhile because it requires a lot of waiting around. Because of this he would not deduct any hours for waiting around. As soon as the trial setting conference was over, he claimed I used all my hours up. The only thing this lawyer did for all the money he charged me was after I had to get the information on who he should contact he wrote a letter and spoke to them once. He claimed he was going to follow up and try to reach a settlement, but that never happened. I raised several concerns reminding him of his promises, and I asked questions in which the majority of the time he was very rude. Some of my questions he never answered. He never picked up the phone once. He said he's going to charge me for every email he has to answer and would send these long emails trying to defend himself. This was a horrible experience. I have dealt with several employment attorneys in the past and this has never been my experience. I filed a complaint with the bar!

Paid 3500 dollars only got one phone interview with Eocc and a rebuttal statement. 2 years being told my case was proceeding as planned. Don't waste your time update First didn't receive anything from Eocc until 2 weeks before the deadline. Everything I received about my case was faxed over or emailed Also my case didn't get worked on for 3 months because his dishonest staff said I didn't pay the retainer fee. Again don't waste your time

Mr. Cohn is an exceptional attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Mr. Cohn was pleasant to work with on my matter and I truly felt that the best hands were on deck. His communication skills can't be beat. He is very direct and to the point. The results of the matter far exceeded my expectations. I had complete trust in Mr. Cohn because I felt that he really was looking out for my best interest. He has extensive experience and his rates are very reasonable. His practice is high caliber and well established. I would highly recommend working with Mr. Cohn if the need presents itself. You will not be disappointed!

I would like to start with “” Cohn is awesome. “” It is hard to find a defense attorney for an accident case when you are held guilty. I searched online, found multiple lawyers, but all refused to take my case. Cohn was awesome from the first moment I talked to him. Cohn called me back the same day, when I left a note on his social site. Very responsive, very positive about my case. I had a sigh of relief that there is someone at least to talk to about my situation. I and my wife went to his office the following day, Cohn said in the first meeting that my case was really weak and he would do his best but there were many ways that the plaintiff attorney can cause harm to me. Our plaintiff attorney was also very strong and very experienced in car accident cases, that he has been doing for decades. The first meeting was demotivating for me. But over the time Cohn built a plan and various arguments and situations that supported be and that could bring me out of the situation. He had to fight my insurance company, who were not providing me proper coverage, he had things in place to go to the builder whose negligence was one of the factors influencing the accident. All this worked and made my case really strong and finally the plaintiff attorney did not file a lawsuit against me. This was a journey of 18 months, and there were ups and downs, but Cohn was great throughout this journey. Cohn has extensive experience working with insurance firms, working in insurance firms has a good connect with the lawyer community, he is a lot respected and he taking your case itself is half won for you. The best part of the engagement was, Cohn went much beyond what we had signed up at the start. He went beyond what we had agreed. Because over the time we had built a relationship, he felt for us and understood what challenges in life we were going through. We had just come from India, we were settling down, I had my son starting this college very soon, I had issues with my job. But Cohn was still there, he is like a direct blessing from God. I never had to follow up, he was always on the job, and every time I would call, he had updates for me, and many times he would just call me with an update. I was out of the situation, I got a letter of closure from the plaintiff. I live more confidently and happily now. I owe a lot of this to Cohn. And I would like to end with “” He is awesome. “” I wish him all the success and happiness in his life and family. BTW, I had a wonderful experience at his office, nice office, the staff is very professional, very responsive. I used to get responses the same day and would be in meeting or call with Cohn, as soon as he was available.

This is a very polished and experienced firm. After being told by other firms that I did not have a case, Mr. Cohn listening carefully to my facts and came up with a successful strategy. He was very affordable and even told me how I could save tens of thousands of dollars by covering certain fees, but also offered a contingency fee. I took his advice and paid a very minimal fee, well below what any other firm was quoting. The process took about a year, during which his status reports were regular and my calls were taken or promptly returned. I received a very significant pay out for what others said could not be done, and Mr.Cohn appears to have done this effortlessly. I highly recommend talking to this attorney, especially if others have discouraged you. Mr.Cohn is unique, and produced a great result for me. I have also referred him to several friends, who have reported similar praise. Good job, Mr. Cohn!

My name is Jennifer. I contacted Steven because of an employee who tried to defame our business. This employee’s plan was to steel our current customers and our employees by spreading vicious lies. He basically wanted to take over our hard earned business of 20 plus years. The day I called for a lawyer, Steven Cohn came to the rescue. I was in dire need of help. It seemed my entire establishment was to go up in smoke because of this hoodlum kid who partnered up with someone else to take us down for their own gain. Steven was attentive, heard me panic and at once, was able to make me feel at ease with his plan of action. Immediately, Steven helped by putting in place the right documentation to stop these hoodlums right in their tracks. Success! Steven was able to get these guys to back off and with the right approach, he won back our company’s hard earned reputation. I recommend Steven Cohn to anyone who is in a bind or in need of legal help. Steven has the knowledge and know how to solve specific individualized problems. He is very well versed. Know you are in excellent- professional hands. Thank you again Steven Cohn!

I was referred to this firm by another past client and found them to be extremely competent and caring in dealing with a very difficult job situation where I was being harassed by my supervisor and my management would not act. I got excellent advice from attorney Steven Cohn which ultimately got the supervisor removed and my job saved. His staff was also very attentive. I also see that the attorney has dozens of top reviews and awards posted to their website as well. I have read the other review for this great attorney on Google, and this doesn't match my experience at all. I also see that the reviewer wasn't a client, and never actually met anyone at the office, but says that he wasn't listened to during a call. The guy was calling for someone else and got into a shouting match with the office reception? Too bad he didn't connect with this attorney and still has, apparently, only bad things to say about lawyers. He should talk to the attorney and get advice before he bashes professionals he hasn't worked with on line . I highly recommend this polished and caring law firm. 5 STARS!

I had a case against one of the largest companies in California. No attorney wanted to touch it because of the complexity of the case and who the company was. Luckily I found Steve. He went up against all of their attorneys and won the case without me ever having to step into the court room. His no nonsense take control attitude in the deposition was awesome to watch. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work. I highly recommend Steve and his team of competent attorneys.

Steve and his legal team have represented our company for a number of years now and have done everything from providing expert advice to navigating employment law and dealing with complex management issues. I highly recommend Mr. Cohn, his very capable attorneys and staff for anyone needing not merely legal advice, but knowing how to handle challenging and delicate situations. They have performed wonderfully and I’m just grateful I found them. If I could, I’d give him ten stars!
