I came for a second opinion on my asylum claim. Raisa told me the potential problems that could be raised by the dhs about my military service. Super helpful.

I had a phenomenal experience with Attorney Raisa Cohen. I was facing removal proceedings and didn’t know where to turn. My prior attorney was disbarred, and I went to Attorney Raisa Cohen for help. She took on my case and fought hard for me. Her courtroom skills and legal strategy were incredible. I’ll always be tremendously grateful for her help and highly recommend!
– Rosemary
My case manager Diane Mahko and attorney Daniel Levy were great to work with. Diane, especially, was amazing. She made the process simple, provided excellent directions on what paperwork was needed, how to obtain it, and was always timely in replying to questions. If I need any assistance with Canadian immigration in the future they will be my first call.

I called Cohen Law for some advice and was genuinely impressed by how kind and helpful they were. I explained my situation and let them know I couldn’t afford to hire a lawyer, and despite that, I was given thoughtful, honest, and very helpful advice. I truly appreciated the time and care they showed me. Highly recommend them for anyone needing legal guidance!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Raisa Cohen, and she provided me with clear and valuable legal guidance. She patiently clarified important points, laid out a clear roadmap for me, and summarized everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her professionalism and dedication were truly impressive. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking reliable legal advice.
– Sayed
I must say, they made easier than I expected, very fast response times, clear guidance and affordable. Victoria (citizenship) and Tereza (passport) were very professional and polite, again this was easier than obtaining documents from the USA DMV. Use Cohen if you want knowledgeable professionals! Thanks again
