Shah, Esquire, is entitled "Third Circuit Nixes Feds' Bid to Limit Employment Suits" (which can be found here).  Ms. Cohen was the attorney for the successful party in the cases reported upon in the articles and was interviewed by the The Legal Intelligencer in order to gain insight into her perspective of them.

LATEST TESTIMONIAL:   

 

MD: "The Law Office of Faye Riva Cohen, P.C. represented me in an age discrimination case against a prominent recreational facility in the Philadelphia area. They achieved an excellent result for me after a hard fought legal battle in federal court. They were able to overcome a vigorous defense, as well as a change in the law during the case which could have been detrimental to my case, but for their efforts. I am appreciative of everything that they did, especially since I was able to maintain my confidence and self-respect in the face of a situation in which my employer falsely accused me of being the party at fault."
