Testimonials from our clients

I am thrilled to write a testimonial for the exceptional patenting, copywriting, and trademark services provided by the Michael N. Cohen law firm. I have had the pleasure of working with this firm for several of my inventions, and they have exceeded my expectations in every way. – Mel Plummer, Inventor/Founder, Hydrant Guard

The Cohen IP team of Michael, Randy, and Mario executes each of their respective functions within the patent and trademark processes with precision and excellence. The combined synergy of the Cohen team has helped me secure 3 utility patents and 2 trademarks so far. I am batting 3 for 3 on the utility patents, which are extremely difficult to procure, and guess that had I been somewhere else, it would have been something more like 1 for 3. – Daniel C.

Hiring attorneys can be scary because you never know what you’ll get. Cohen IP Law Group is solutions-oriented, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I’m very happy with my results and how hard they worked (even through one of the lawyers getting shingles!) to get my patent filed and my company protected. – Shalita G.

We hired Michael due to a patent issue – he was able to guide us and provide great advice over the course of the 2-3 years this case took to resolve. Michael was the only attorney involved who seemed to know what was going on. I was proud and relieved to have him on my side. Michael and his team are responsive, available to you via email and phone, and always there to answer questions and steer you in the right way. I highly recommend him! – Gin C.

Michael took on what was a fairly difficult technology patent for my company and hit a home run. We were approved and couldn’t be happier. Michael navigated the rough waters and put in the extra work to make things happen. I would recommend him to anyone looking to clear a patent! Always professional and always willing to take the time to help you understand the process. – Jeff J.

I used Michael’s firm to apply for a patent twice in the last seven years. Got my patent granted in both cases. Reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with both Michael and his team. They really know what they are doing.- Koby S.
