Faye Riva Cohen,
Esquire has a wealth of extensive experience in numerous areas of the
law, including, but not limited to, employment/labor law, civil rights,
disability/Social Security, family law, personal injury, debt
collection, estate litigation and real estate. Ms. Cohen's experience
as a business owner and employer give her a well-rounded perspective
often lacking in a traditional lawyer. Furthermore, her compassion for
her clients makes her a strong advocate for their rights. She has not
hesitated to confront, oppose, negotiate, and if necessary, litigate
with major opponents. In a decision in a civil rights case a Federal
Court Judge stated that "Ms. Cohen has demonstrated significant legal
experience both in and out of the civil rights field. In this
case, she has achieved a near remarkable result." |
