Michael A Cohen - NY Lawyer Dictionary Profile

I see my role as guiding my clients in comprehending the capabilities and limitations of the legal system when it comes to settling conflicts with their partner or former partner. My aim is to ensure they achieve a fair resolution while also assisting them in navigating the emotional challenges often associated with divorce or post-divorce proceedings. I strive to prevent unnecessary escalation of tensions between the parties and refrain from exacerbating conflicts just to appease a misguided client, which would only fuel animosity and escalate legal costs for all involved. However, when warranted, I will diligently and assertively explore all possible avenues of relief for my clients. With over two decades of dedicated practice in this specific legal area, I have successfully represented numerous clients across Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx in matters concerning divorce, custody and visitation disputes, child support and alimony disagreements, protective orders, as well as facilitating negotiations for prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
