Emily G.

I cannot tell you what a relief it was working with Alan! Legal situations are never fun, but Alan helped me feel less anxious and was totally transparent throughout our time together. When things became confusing and complicated, I really felt like Alan took the time to patiently explain how everything worked, and he was exceptional at managing expectations. The entire process was as pain-free as these types of things can be, because Alan is incredibly professional, highly respected, and just exceptional at the work he does. From the beginning, Alan kept me in the loop around timelines and potential outcomes, which helped immensely in terms of not making my life anymore complicated than it already felt. I’m more than pleased with the outcome Alan produced, and am forever grateful that things were relatively drama-free and smooth. For a lay person like me, it was so nice to have everything broken down piecemeal and presented in a straightforward way. Anyone would be lucky to have Alan take their case on, he really is just the best of the best.

The best employment attorney. Alan knows the law but is very practical. Talk to him first before you make any move with a present or past employer.

Alan is an expert in the field of employment law and I witnessed him navigate the nuances of a difficult discrimination case. The resolution was as best as could have been hoped for but not before he put in many hours of thought and rigor. I strongly recommend his advice and help in gender and disability discrimination cases in particular. You’ll feel like you have an honorary law degree after he imparts his wisdom, expertise, and experience in your employment situation. He empowered his client to feel in control, resilient and made her feel like she could take on the toxic tech employment landscape and win.

Alan is a very empathetic and thoughtful lawyer, someone who can not only understand your situation but also be a friend and guide, while providing excellent counsel. He has helped me deal with a difficult situation at work and even though we could not achieve the intended outcomes, he was able to work through the case very diligently and provide practical advise, as was best suitable to the circumstance. He asked me the right questions to frame the case in a compelling manner and provided a very good assessment of the possible outcomes, and helped to manage expectations well.
I would highly recommend Alan as your partner for handling any employment issues.

Alan Cohen was a lifesaver! Finding myself in an extremely toxic work environment, which I knew would only get worse, an attorney friend suggested contacting Alan. He quickly made himself available to discuss my circumstances and provided wise and realistic counsel regarding my options. Having an experienced advocate on my side made an immediate difference. He assumed the lead engaging with my company’s HR department and helped me determine the best path forward. My stress level became much more manageable, as Alan worked to negotiate an exit package that ultimately gave me the financial freedom to recover and reimagine my work life. Simply put, Alan was able to get me the best possible outcome to a very unpleasant situation. I feel lucky to have found him!

One of the prior reviewers described Allan as a “consummate professional”. I totally agree.

Allan is accessible, an excellent listener, and brought great clarity to the situation. He is a wizard in how he explains your options in exceptionally clear language. Look no further for an expert in employment law, and just as important, an advocate you can trust.

I requested a brief consultation by email with Alan  and he replied very quickly with a detailed, thoughtful, and very useful response. As it turned out, he was not able to take me on as a client, but our brief exchange provided me with lots of actionable information. The fact that he took such pains to reply to someone he knew he could not take on as a client speaks volumes about his empathy. I also enjoyed his humor which came through even in this short exchange.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who would ask me.

Sometimes life throws a wrench and you need to ask someone for honest and thoughtful advice.
It matters that your lawyer understands the California Law and San Francisco regulations in particular. This is where Alan Cohen comes in. He will be your ally through and through. What is notable about Alan is that he gets back to you. He doesn’t wait till next Wednesday (or whatever) to review all incoming requests. — That’s a big deal because the time is ticking!..For these reasons I highly recommend the Law Office of Alan Cohen without reservations! Good luck!

Raj L.

I was in a bad employment situation for an extended period of time. When my employment separation finally came I couldn’t even get a call back from my existing attorney. I had a limited window to navigate many complex considerations. Alan came highly recommended through my network with several known successes. Alan was prompt in all communication, listens attentively, and provided me sound counsel. With Alan’s help I felt I made an educated decision without regret. If you want an empathic, pragmatic, attentive employment attorney look no further.

I am so grateful that I reached out to Alan when I did. I was pushed out of my last job and about to accept a measly severance when a friend of mine referred me to Alan. I wasn’t sure if I had a case, but after reviewing the materials I sent to him he assured me that we could get more than what was being offered. This was a 7-month ordeal and Alan stayed in touch with me… throughout the entire process. He was compassionate, caring, and thoughtful, yet a shark and relentless when representing me. I felt like I had an advocate in my corner. It was a stressful situation because of the nature of my previous work environment, but Alan pushed hard for me and it was very much worth it in the end. This was my first time ever having legal representation for anything EVER, so I was really nervous about the whole process. Having Alan on my side really helped me through the whole process. He explained legal terms, endured my venting emails, and was incredibly patient with me. I highly recommend Alan Cohen for anyone even questioning if they have an employment issue that would necessitate legal counsel.

It’s compassionate to be empathetic for some ones plight, but it’s Heroic when some one is truly professionally qualified to diagnose and Put Right an INJUSTICE… Alan Cohen Law Office did just that for me. First let me say that, I was very lucky to come across Alan. Like so many people I google to no end in an effort to find a law firm that would listen and truly… investigate my grievance. To my dismay, I found none, until a lawyer friend of my uncle suggested I contact Alan’s firm. Being tired of explaining and waiting for call-backs, I waited well over a month before I call Alan. Needless to say, that after speaking with Alan, he got the ball-rolling on my case. And the outcome of it was surprisingly sweet. If you’re able to find an employment lawyer as good as Alan, then I’ll say you’ve been blessed.
