About Our Firm

A legacy of legal excellence and client-focused representation since 1998.

Our History

The Law Office Of Cohen was founded in 1998 by Robert Freeman and Jonathan Harrison, two attorneys who shared a vision of creating a law firm that combined legal excellence with personalized client service.

Beginning with just five attorneys in a small office in downtown New York, our firm has grown to include over 50 legal professionals across three offices. Throughout our expansion, we have maintained our founding principles of integrity, dedication, and results-oriented representation.

Over the past 25 years, we have established ourselves as a leading law firm in the region, known for our expertise across multiple practice areas and our commitment to achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.

Today, The Law Office Of Cohen serves a diverse clientele ranging from individuals and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies and international corporations. Our growth and success are testaments to our unwavering dedication to legal excellence and client satisfaction.
