Law Offices Of Geena D Cohen

When we decided to seek legal counsel, we interviewed three well-known special education attorneys. Choosing Matt to represent our family and advocate for our two special needs children has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. For the past 13 years, Matt has been safeguarding our children's rights, securing a school placement that perfectly met their unique needs. When our children were ready for the general education setting, he worked closely with our school district to facilitate their return, ensuring a supportive environment where they could thrive. From the outset, Matt provided invaluable legal counsel and became a trusted guide through the complex special education process. His profound understanding of the law, coupled with his compassionate approach, made all the difference during the most challenging times and empowered us to make informed and confident decisions. Matt's involvement in progress reviews and annual meetings has been indispensable. He ensures that our children's educational plans are not only legally sound but also geared toward their long-term success. We are immensely grateful to Matt for his unwavering commitment, expertise, and genuine compassion. He is not just an attorney but a true ally who has profoundly impacted our lives. For any family navigating the complexities of special education law, we wholeheartedly recommend Matt without hesitation.

We used Matt Cohen & Associates to represent our family. My honest rating of this firm is a C. There are a lot worse and some better, but School districts use A and B rated attorneys so be aware and give yourself a fighting chance. Most important would I recommend Matt Cohen & Associates to another family fighting a battle with a school district sadly I would Not Recommend.

Matt Cohen has been a longstanding, helpful, and trusted advisor, assisting us with navigating a variety of special educational needs for a member of my family. We highly recommend Matt.

I requested to meet with the attorney I sent in all my documentation and was informed he will review it and go over it with me during the call. When I met him he was rude and arrogant. He said he gets paid for his time and he wasn't reviewing anything. The office had reorganize and renamed everything I sent over so I wasn't able to locate anything and the attorney was in a rush and refused to be patient so we could review the documents. He changed his fees verbally several times and said if my prior attorney knew what they were doing I wouldn't need him then he ended the call within the first 10 mins or so and now he wants to charge me for services he NEVER RENDERED. He is a cheater and a rip off he cares nothing about our children just money and how much he can get paid off your case.RUN DO NOT USE HIM!

Only thing we got from this lawyer is a hefty bill for THOUSANDS of dollars. Nothing at my sons school was resolved and the only thing we got out of it was a daily communication sheet. It shouldn't have to be so hard and expensive for services to support a special needs child. Even lawyers have no idea how much money it costs for therapies etc. Its sad enough we have to fight so hard for everything. This lawyers office is just another barrier. Keep looking!
