When Someone Has Wronged You, We Make It Right

When another person, employer, or organization causes you harm, whether it’s physically, financially, emotionally, or to your reputation, you don’t have to face it alone.  

At the Law Offices of Matthew Cohan, we represent individuals who have been hurt, wronged, deceived, mistreated, or improperly laid off, and we fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Our goal is simple: to restore your peace of mind and recover what you’ve lost through skilled advocacy and unwavering commitment.

You have rights. We’re here to protect them.

The Types of Cases We Handle

We help individuals pursue justice and fair compensation in cases involving:

  • Employment disputes — wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, or unpaid wages.

  • Personal Injury — whether you’re hurt in a car crash, slip and fall, medical malpractice, or injured by another person.

  • Breach of contract — when someone breaks a promise or agreement that costs you time or money.

  • Fraud and misrepresentation — when deceit or false statements cause financial or personal harm.

  • Defamation and reputational harm — protecting your name and standing when it’s unfairly attacked.

  • Property disputes — ensuring fairness and accountability in housing and ownership matters.

  • Personal or emotional harm caused by another’s misconduct — because justice extends beyond financial loss.

Each case begins with listening to your story, your goals, and the outcome that matters most to you.

Our Approach: Compassionate Counsel, Relentless Advocacy

We understand that pursuing a lawsuit can feel intimidating. That’s why we hold your hand every step of the way. Our approach combines personal attention with strategic, results-driven representation. From the moment we take your case, we:

  • Conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.

  • Develop a tailored legal strategy focused on your best outcome.

  • Handle all communications with the opposing side so you don’t have to.

We fight hard because your story deserves to be heard, and justice deserves to be done.
