A formidable and experienced defense counsel

Our company retained David Cohen of Butler Snow to defend us in a complex product liability suit involving a medical device. With nearly four decades of experience, his deep knowledge was immediately apparent. He leveraged his specific background in science counsel and his recognized expertise in product liability defense to build a formidable strategy. His handling of the scientific evidence was particularly impressive, no doubt honed from his early work on significant cases like the fen-phen litigation. David provided clear, strategic guidance that helped us navigate the complexities of New York mass tort proceedings with confidence. He is a steady and highly skilled attorney who inspires trust. While his billing rates reflect his seniority and the firm's prestige, which is understandable, there were occasional delays in receiving follow-up summaries after lengthy strategy calls. That minor administrative point aside, we were extremely satisfied with the legal defense he mounted and would not hesitate to recommend him for high-stakes product liability matters.
