A consummate professional who delivered a complex insurance litigation victory

After our community association faced a significant and protracted dispute with our insurer over water damage claims, we were referred to Stephan Cohn. From our first consultation, his four decades of deep experience in both insurance law and community association matters were immediately evident. He didn't just understand the legal code; he grasped the intricate operational and financial pressures our board was under. Stephan and his team at Berger Kahn meticulously deconstructed the insurer's position, leveraging his profound knowledge of business torts and real estate litigation. His strategic guidance was calm and decisive, clearly informed by the expertise that has earned him prestigious recognitions like Lawyer of the Year. The resolution he secured was beyond our expectations, protecting our reserves and setting a crucial precedent. Stephan is more than a brilliant litigator; he is a trusted counselor who communicates with clarity and treats every client with utmost respect. For any complex business or insurance matter in Orange County, he is simply the best.
