Dorothy Brown
I engaged H. Joseph Cohen for an employment dispute involving a health care client, and while his expertise in labor and employment law was evident, the experience left me with mixed feelings. His 29 years of experience and recognition in health care law were reassuring, and he clearly understood the nuances of our case. However, communication could have been more timely—there were periods where I felt left in the dark, especially during the early stages. The wait times for responses were occasionally longer than expected, which added unnecessary stress. That said, his knowledge of insurance defense and his strategic approach to litigation were valuable. He successfully navigated a complex arbitration, ultimately securing a favorable outcome. If you need a lawyer with deep experience in health care labor disputes, he’s competent, but be prepared for a slightly slower pace and less frequent updates than some might prefer. It wasn’t a bad experience, but it wasn’t flawless either.
Pamela Hill
Attorney H. Joseph Cohen is experienced in labor and employment law, particularly in representing health care providers, which was relevant to my case. His knowledge of insurance defense and health care law came through in his counsel, and I appreciated his recognized expertise in these areas. However, communication could have been more prompt. While his advice was solid, follow-up responses often took longer than expected, which added unnecessary delays to an already time-sensitive matter. The initial consultation was thorough, and his background in handling labor disputes proved valuable, but I left with the impression that his workload might have impacted his availability. For clients who prioritize immediate attention, this could be a factor to consider. Overall, his legal insight was competent, but the experience felt more transactional than personalized.

I worked with H. Joseph Cohen on a labor dispute involving a healthcare client, and his expertise in employment law—especially his recognition in health care law—was clear. He navigated the complexities of our case with confidence, leveraging his nearly 30 years of experience. However, communication could be improved. Follow-ups were sometimes delayed, and expectations weren't always clearly set upfront. While his legal strategy was solid, I wish he had been more proactive in keeping me informed. Overall, a competent attorney, but I’d like to see better client engagement in the future.
