Horrible horrible horrible. Constitutional rights being trampled and I was told no as I displayed emotional distress. Rights trampled again. Stay away

I was "represented" by this attorney practice (Siri Palm) and was left mostly in the dark with hardly any communication. I would have to send multiple emails and calls before I got a response. In my opinion, the office has too many cases to handle, as my attorney constantly referenced being so busy, and my case was too small in compensation to be given it's true diligence. It took over a year for a case with no injuries or long standing treatment. And there may have been a possible breach of agreement and my attorney did not call to explain but emailed a vague explanation and proceeded to brush the incident under the rug.

My experience with Cohen &Cohen was beyond my expectations. Jill did an amazing job with negotiating on my behalf and got me way more money than I anticipated. Thank you for having my back.

To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does. That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable. I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Siri Palm and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out. I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How can I handle my medical bills until my case is settled?

Depending on the laws of your state and the kind of insurance coverage you carry, your bills can be paid for under a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage plan, a Medical Payments Coverage (MPC), your health insurance, or a workers compensation plan, if applicable to your situation, until you receive your settlement.

It’s common place for at-fault insurance companies to offer to pay all of the injured party’s “out of pocket” expenses to resolve a case, but that likely means that that the injured party is left with less than they deserve.
