“As a business broker I have interacted with many attorneys. I have found Eric Cohen to be among the best. I really like how he drafts contracts. They are exceptionally thorough and easy to read. In addition, he is easy to reach and he returns calls, a trait that often eludes many other attorneys. However, what I admire most is that when his clients engaged his services they received more. They received an attorney who truly cares.”
