LATEST TESTIMONIALS
:   
 
TA: Knowledgeable & Compassionate...Highly recommend! Towards the end of a very difficult employment legal battle, I sought out another attorney to get a second opinion on my case and release documents. I am so lucky my search led me to Faye Riva Cohen! Recommended by the Philadelphia Bar Association & highly rated on Avvo, Faye was quickly able to make sense out of all of the nonsense. She was understanding and patient...but more importantly she listened! She wants what's best for her clients...not what's quickest, easiest or best for the firm. I highly recommend Faye Riva Cohen. I only wish I found her sooner! She will certainly be the first attorney I call should I find myself in another unfortunate situation & need legal advice or counsel. A breath of fresh air, in the legal world of doom & gloom. Thanks Faye!

LP: I was assisted by James Cushing and Brian Doyle as well. Both gentleman were very professional. They were always at the courthouse before I was and would already start plea dealings with the other side making my visit to the courthouse quicker. I felt legally secure as they stood by my side throughout my entire dilemma. Prices are also affordable and I was never given the run around. From a technical standpoint, they promptly return calls and emails and they seamlessly display a level of organization I never seen in a law firm before. I'm very pleased with their service.

AS: It was such a pleasure working with Faye Riva Cohen and Shan R. Shah regarding a challenging situation I was having at my place of work. Both Faye and Shan immediately made me feel at ease and worked with me to ensure the best possible outcome occurred for all parties. The Law Office of Faye Riva Cohen, P.C. always made me feel like my circumstance was their number one priority and I believe I would not have been able to come to a resolution without their assistance. They truly do have their client's best interest in mind and work diligently to resolve disputes timely.

hola h.: San Carlos, CA 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. Faye and her team always respond in a timely manner and she will give you advance notice of times she will not be available due to court appearances etc. I found her billing practices to be transparent, fair, and honest. 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. (on Yelp)
