  • JAQUELINE D.

    I am so grateful to have come across the help of Mr. Cohen. This was my first ever legal issue that I needed assistance in, I didn't know where to look or who would be good enough to help me. Mr. Cohen went over and beyond, his work is exceptional!!

    My legal matter had to do with renegotiating a (fraudulent) contract that I went into 2023 with a dealership. The consultation was the best part of it all because he immediately reviewed my case and determined what he was able to do, if it was worth it or not. He brought me comfort with his honesty and firmness on how the legal system works. His time frames were perfect from the beginning to the end. When we began the consultation he made sure no detail was left behind. Throughout gathering more information, talking to the other representative or what not he kept me updated and informed of exactly what was said and what needed to be done.

    Overall it only took about 2 weeks to receive good news back, and so the process began. The negotiation with the dealership went smoothly. As soon as he noticed something was up or out of the terms discussed he immediately demanded it to be changed to what I had agreed on. Cohen did not leave my side not once, when we showed up to the dealership, he reassured me of everything that was going on, he paused and was patient to know if I fully understood what was going on, he truly was there to support me.

    Ivan Cohen is an amazing lawyer!!! I definitely recommend him to anyone who is in trouble or in need of services. I left the dealership 3 weeks later since the consultation with the agreeable terms of transferring all payments to a new affordable contract with a low interest rate. What I appreciated the most was Cohen stayed by my side until I left the dealership with my brand new car. Without a doubt if I'm ever in trouble or need legal help, it will be from him. If you are considering other lawyers I will say they might be good but not as great as Ivan Cohen.

  • JESSICA I.

    I initially just used Ivan's online-initiated consultation for some advice about my landlord who was abusing their right of entry into my apartment. He was very helpful in spelling out what my options were based on the information I gave him. I was so pleased with this consultation that I hired him to help me dispute my intrusive landlord's entries. I really appreciated that he was honest about my options, and did not try to persuade me to go with the option that would result in him getting more money out of my pocket! I was taken aback by his candor. He explained that he is simply looking to run a superior practice and receives referrals from his clients. He is not looking to suck out every penny he can from his clients. Each time we spoke, he did not hang up the phone until he was confident that I fully understood my options. I also liked that every time I contacted him he responded very quickly. Thanks Ivan!

  • ROY C.

    I've known Ivan Cohen for almost ten years. He and I have handled many cases together, including personal injury and real estate litigation. I co-chaired a complex business litigation matter with Ivan, and he was tenacious with the details of discovery and determining the relationships between the various entities. His hard work and patient dealing with the client contributed to my better understanding of the facts and the eventual very beneficial settlement for the client. I found him to be very personable, conscientious and a thorough researcher. He seeks to please his clients and puts client relations at the top of his list. He is very experienced in business disputes and debt collection matters, but his skills do not end there. I endorse this lawyer.

  • J.B.

    We are truly honored to write Mr. Cohen a sterling review. My daughter had, just a week before, started graduate school at Cal State Long Beach. Unfortunately, the people she sublet her room from turned out to be unstable and violent. After a frightening incident the police were called and the landlord was told by the police that if they had to return he would be arrested. Our daughter was served with a notice to vacate the next day. It was clear she needed a safe place to live ASAP.

    We re-read our daughter's lease and realized that we did not know what her rights were as a tenant and we needed legal help fast. We called many attorneys. Thank heavens, Ivan was the first attorney to return our call (yes, we are now on a first name basis). He walked us through her rights, gave our daughter excellent advice on how to navigate her current situation, and then reviewed the next two leases she was considering.

    During his review of the first lease, Ivan's eagle eye spotted a single line a 15-page lease where, if our daughter had signed, she would have ceded all her rights as a tenant, and he noted many other concerning issues. He advised us well to not sign that lease. He reviewed a second lease for us, went through it line-by-line again, pointed out a few issues to clarify with the landlord, and advised us that it was a good lease that maintained our daughter's rights under tenant law.

    Only eight days elapsed between our first emergency call to Ivan to our daughter signing a new lease and moving into her new, safe, apartment. We appreciate the fact that Ivan stepped in quickly during a three-day holiday, stayed in frequent contact over the holiday, and efficiently steered us such that we could help our daughter find a safe, stable, and comfortable living situation. We cannot recommend him more highly.

    Do not hesitate to contact Mr. Cohen if you need legal services. It will be money well spent.
