LATEST TESTIMONIAL:

RM: "Faye Riva Cohen did an excellent job for me when I was faced with a difficult situation at my workplace, a large national corporation. She was able to negotiate a substantial severance package for me and work closely with my workers' compensation attorney. She developed a good relationship with my employer's attorney, and through extensive negotiations, a fine result was achieved. I was able to leave my employment with funds to sustain me in my new job search, and a reference I could use in seeking a new job. I also referred a family member to her, and not to my surprise she did a wonderful job for him in his employment issue. She and I developed a friendly relationship, and I now count her among my friends and I feel confident that whomever I refer to her Firm is in very competent and caring hands."
