| SEMINARS:
MK: Faye Cohen helped me negotiate a severance package with my former employer. She was able to settle quickly and worked very well with the employer's attorney during the process. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in labor/employment laws which made me feel at ease as she worked on my issue. I cannot say enough about her professionalism, accessibility, and expertise during the process. She helped reduce my anxiety level from 100% to 0% because I knew I was in good hands. Faye also assisted me a few years ago with issues I was experiencing with an employer while on short term disability. She truly is a "Super Lawyer" and I highly recommend her and her fellow associates.
JL: You could not ask for anyone better to be on your side. Faye Riva Cohen, Esquire has the reputation of being the best and after working with her it is clear why she is known for being the top lawyer in the area. The Law Office of Faye Riva Cohen, P.C. has been an amazing resource for me. As a young minority woman in a male dominated industry having Faye as resource has been absolutely priceless and indispensable. Ms. Cohen's extensive experience, knowledge, and practical sense is unmatched. Faye has a way of empowering you to follow your rights. She has a natural and assertive way of reinforcing your case. Faye pummeled the competing law team and quickly educated them on employment and harassment law that the opposing law team obviously were unaware of. I highly recommend Faye Riva Cohen and would not go to anyone else for legal advice.
