Fighting For The Rights of Victims of Negligence and Employment Discrimination
Welcome to The Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP. My name is Richard Jaffe, Founding Partner, and I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and give you some insight into what our firm stands for. I practice law in the State of New York, primarily in the New York City Metropolitan Area and surrounding counties, as well as Long Island including Nassau County and Suffolk County. We’ve based our business model on four core principles that we feel define who we are as a company. I’m confident you’ll find these beliefs & standards are what separate us from other law firms.
Accessibility
Working with Cohen & Jaffe is more than a client-attorney transaction. It’s a partnership. We believe in being accessible and within reach of our clients 24/7. I make it my personal duty to return calls and correspondence promptly, while ensuring each and every client knows they are very important to us.
Affordability
It seems very few law firms tout their low rates these days. We’re on a mission to change that. As a local lawyer in New York, I believe in helping those in my community and not taking advantage in their time of need. To make your time with us more affordable, we offer flat fee arrangements, instead of the staggering expense of hourly rates. Additionally, we are always available for free or low-cost consultations. Cohen & Jaffe will work with you to ensure you receive top-notch legal guidance & services without spending a lot. We also accept credit cards and will entertain payment plans and discounts, depending on the nature of your case. And as always, there is never a fee for personal injury cases unless, of course, you recover from the injuries sustained before the verdict is established.
Open and Honest Representation
We believe honesty is the single highest priority in our partnership with clients. As an attorney, it is my sworn duty to act in the best interest of my clients within the bounds of the law. For some, that comes in the form of guidance, consultation, courtroom representation, education or even hand holding. When working with us, you’ll always hear the complete and honest truth, regardless of whether or not you want to. Not every case was meant to be won and you can depend on us for an honest assessment, no matter what.
The Client's Right
Simply put, clients deserve more. As previously mentioned, we feel the term “client” exudes a distance and lack of personal relationship. While that may be acceptable for other law firms and businesses, Cohen & Jaffe believes in partnerships and genuine dedication to those who choose to work with us. Clients have the right to access the entirety of our knowledgeable staff. They have the right to be treated with the highest level of honesty, confidentiality, respect and compassion. They deserve an attorney with their best interests in mind–someone who cares for their well-being on a personal level. Clients also have the right to know the specifics of pricing and services before signing-on, with detailed explanations of each. Many attorney s act as though they are above such basic customer service practices. I beg to differ and welcome you to experience what working with a true legal partner should be.
