Josiah Cohen is an absolute stellar attorney. Not only was he compassionate from the moment he first spoke with me, he was incredibly skilled and zealous in his advocacy for the entirety of the case. He is one of the best lawyers I've ever seen in trial, and I honestly can't sing enough of his praise. I feel very lucky that I had him as my attorney because he is the cream of the crop. If you are ever unfortunate enough to need an attorney, your fortune can only flip a 180 by hiring Josiah. He cares beyond measure, and will stand with you every step of the way, and delivers incredible, detailed, polished work product.

Josiah was professional and courteous. His no nonsense approach and competence made me feel confident he would own my legal interests and go the distance to get the job done. He made sure to inform me completely before any moves he made. That’s a lawyer I can trust. Thanks Josiah!

10/10 recommend. Josiah went above and beyond for me. He worked his butt off and did the unthinkable within two months time. I was facing a prison sentence of 12-32 years. He managed to get the DA to agree to no jail and 3 years probation. What a relief it was! I’m super grateful for what Josiah and Lisa have done for me and would recommend them to any of my friends, family or strangers. Super pleasant to be around, very communicative, have a ton of experience and knowledge in all fields.

Mr. Cohen did a good job of setting expectations, and then exceeded them. My case was dismissed and I couldn't be happier with the quality of service. Mr. Cohen performed a very thorough investigation and kept me up to date on what was happening with my case, as well as why.

We worked with Valerie Cole and she was exceptional. She has a unique way as an attorney of being thoughtful, and yet very direct and to the point. She doesn't swing up and down, always calm and professional. She sees the big picture and it was obvious that she did her research and was prepared and genuinely believable. She was great at explaining situations, strategy, and information while also being realistic and not giving false hope. At each point, she set our expectations, gave us insights that we needed to be prepared, and was available for our questions. In court, she confidently spoke and questioned, and held her ground without being overbearing or insulting to the others in the room. We had a great experience working with Valerie Cole & Lisa Polansky.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
