A Letter from Our Attorneys

Decades of trial experience, one mission: fighting for the injured across the DMV.

Calling us is always free.
Free Case Evaluation
Yes, Really.

Welcome,

Cohen & Cohen was built on a simple belief: injury victims deserve a firm that delivers real results and treats them like people, not case files.

For over 30 years we have represented thousands of accident victims across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, recovering hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. That work has earned attention from the press — and, far more importantly, the trust of the clients we serve.

Washingtonian Magazine has described this firm as "one of Washington's most feared personal injury lawyers." We've been named among Washington's Top Lawyers from 2004 through 2024, and listed in DC Super Lawyers year after year. Our attorneys have appeared on ABC, NBC, FOX, the Today Show, Good Morning America, WTOP, and been quoted in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

What matters more than any of that is what happens on your case. We are licensed in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and we know the judges, the courts, and the local rules in each. Each jurisdiction follows a contributory negligence rule, which makes experienced counsel especially critical. We prepare every case from day one as though it will go to trial.

We know how devastating an accident can be — the injuries, the trauma, and the financial strain that follows. You shouldn't face the aftermath alone. Call us any time, day or night.
