Law Office of Faye Riva Cohen, P.C.

I needed help with an employer situation and Faye Cohen spoke to me. I explained that a previous lawyer already sent letters to my ex-employer and they refuse to respond. She said she could help me. After I paid the retainer, she passed the case off to a less experienced attorney. All he did was send two more letters. When I realized they weren't going to do more than that I asked for the rest of my retainer back (afterall I did tell them upfront that this would need more than letters) and they said it was nonrefundable. They never followed up with me about the case and I never even received a copy of the letters they sent. I would consider what they did to be a grift.

Funny how they pledge to get to know you. I was referred by legal ease. They also believe that building strong client relationships is key. Faye answered the phone herself but barely gave me 5 minutes of her time before she told me it was time to "go get lunch"! My case was extremely personal and the matters contained within it caused me years of pain and confusion as it pertained to an estranged parental relationship. Faye had the unmitigated audacity to ask me for a copy of my Mothers will (which I did send) but Radio Silence after that. No email, NOTHING ! This was very humiliating and made me feel... you know what ? I can't even put into words what this makes me feel like. Thanks for NOTHING Faye. Must have been a really good sandwich.

I cannot recommend Attorney James Cushing highly enough! My simple divorce case had been stuck for over 8 months due to my first LegalShield-referred lawyer, who was so unresponsive and ineffective that I had to fire him. I did my intake with (I believe) Attorney Cohen, and paid shortly after. She assigned my case to James, and from that moment on my case went super swimmingly. James was an exceptional lawyer—clear, honest, proactive, and kind. His communication was excellent, and he consistently kept me updated and grounded in reality throughout the process. He tackled my case head-on, addressing every issue quickly and professionally, and finally brought my divorce to a resolution. I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews of this firm beforehand because I would have avoided it, so I’m thank

I was referred to James Cushing through work. I guess I got what I paid for. He was very dismissive, and did everything in his power not to go to court. Perhaps it's another story when u retain him outright, but why sign up to do that just to let your client get further financially abused by her ex.

I was referred by Legal Shield and assumed that on the initial call that It would be a consultation. I listen to her for a few moments as she (Ms. Cohen). Read through my files, she asked me a few questions about the case but didn't ask me to explain the issue. I found her to be very dismissive and she mostly told me things that I did wrong in the few mins we spoke. When I stopped her for a minute and explained that I am consulting with her and another firm she said " Well why don't you go with them then because I don't do that" and hung up. I am honestly still in shock, lol. This is my first every legal matter and having options is important. I found her to be dismissive, unprofessional, condescending, rude and unconcerned with my matter. I would NOT recommend using this firm.
