Jeffrey L. Cohen is well respected for his depth of experience in Tax and Corporate/Business Law.

In his Tax practice, Mr. Cohen is dedicated to zealous representation before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that his clients are treated fairly by the IRS. He will not let the IRS 'beat you up.'

The IRS recognizes Mr. Cohen because of his well-earned reputation as a top-rate negotiator with a high command of tax rules and regulations. Because the IRS does not intimidate Mr. Cohen, he is able to resolve most of his client's issues at the negotiating table, rather than through litigation. If it is necessary to seek resolution in United States Tax Court, Mr. Cohen will pursue and protect your interests with zeal.

Mr. Cohen's clients receive personal attention, unlike at larger firms where unknown associates manage cases. His commitment to client service means that he is not satisfied until his clients feel comfortable with their understanding of the legal issues they face. Tax-related legal issues create a great deal of anxiety for clients because the rules and regulations are complex. Mr. Cohen is an expert guide. He makes sure his clients are well informed and that there is no ambiguity before any decisions are made. Former clients are most impressed with Mr. Cohen's accessibility. He listens well, answers questions, and always returns telephone calls within 24 hours.
