I had to give Attorney Cohen 5 stars bc he delivered the results I was looking for with my case . Whenever I was losing hope , he would calmly kept me encouraged . It took months but he remained committed to seeing me through my situation . And at the end , it all worked out ! Thanks to Attorney Cohen . Yes he maybe firm and direct in his approach but I can respect that bc he means business and he definitely gets the job done . He helped take a heavy burden off me and for that I’m truly grateful for his service and all of his efforts . If you are considering hiring Attorney Cohen , I promise you will not be sorry with the results/outcome . He will definitely give you his best shot !

Michael is awesome! I was recently sued for a bad debt. Out of all the lawyers I interviewed, He was the only lawyer who was able to put my worry at ease. He explained his approach and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him if you are in a similar situation.

Mr. Cohen has been a true blessing, and has over-delivered with the efforts he invested into my case. He was very approachable and communicated complicated legal terms in layman's terms.
As absentee landlord, I had a hard time managing my delinquent client, so after verbally threatening eviction for the 5th time, I realized that my approach didn't work. Northside Law stepped in, quickly filed all papers with Cobb County, and recorded accordingly. Mr. Cohen also developed a detailed payment plan. As a result, our tenant paid up and extended the lease, fully knowing that any further delinquency could result in an accelerated eviction, court costs etc. After Northside Law Center completed all proceedings, they didn't just close the case, but patiently followed up until I was completely satisfied.
Thank you Michael - Best money I ever spent on an attorney!!!
Mr. Cohen is very helpful! He has spent a lot of time on my case and finally settled a very hard landlord/tenant case for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone has landlord/tenant issue.

Michael Cohen is one of the finest attorneys i have worked with. He is not only an outstanding professional and excellent advocate for his clients but also a compassionate person who focuses on all of the needs of his clients. At times I felt like i was talking to a wise Uncle who was listening intently and offering prudent advise. Michael is results oriented and he delivers

From first contact, I was certain Mr. Cohen would be the best attorney to assist with my landlord tenant matter. Although, my case wasn't overly complicated and I wish I waited to use his services but going in blind was not an option. Micheal attempted to resolve the matter through discussion to no avail but in the end my landlords case was dismissed. Honestly, Micheal assured me all the worrying I was doing was not necessary but with the year I've been having, I can't really leave anything to chance. #OverPreparer Thanks Mr. Cohen for your support and knowledge you've brought to my initial issue and maybe I'll have the same success the second time around.

Mr. Michael Cohen helped me greatly when I was having trouble with management at my leasing office. Not only was he able to get me out my lease but I had to pay no fees. What mostly touch me was that he treated the situation like it was his own problem and that was comforting. This is my first time leaving a review but felt it was necessary due to the excellent service. Thanks again..

As stated in a previous review, this is definitely a tier 1 TOP SHELF LAW FIRM. I continued to have problems with my landlord accepting my rent. It appears that when I'd gone to court regarding my case, Mr Cohen negotiated a mutually beneficial agreement for both myself and the apartment complex wherein I was to pay an agreed upon amount by a certain date. I'd held up my end and paid per the agreement details. It seems as though the leasing mgr, did not truly understand the court issued consent form, nor how to read it, as it outlined the amount ordered to pay by the judge, and the leasing MGR stated that the late fees were not waived, and the judge did not include a wiaver of fees in the consent order. I reached out to Mr Cohen, and explained what was going on and he advised me on how to best explain the consent order to the leasing mger and further advsed that he (the leasing mger) contact their attorney as he had a copy of the same consent form and have their attorney explain it to him. I followed Mr. Cohen's advice, and brought in a copy of the consent form as well as the proof of satisfaction of previously agreed upon pymnts ordered by the court. Upon breaking the form down line bt line, the property MGR sted he'd acceptthe rent and gave me receipts for my rent pymnt and stated he'd get with their atty. Once again, Attorney Michael Cohen's representation is the representation that goes beyond the courtroom.

Mr. Cohen is a very passionate and hardworking attorney. I had a case that I thought I was never going to be resolved, but he was able to do it. It took a while, almost a year, but we got what we wanted. I would recommend any of my friends to him regarding landlord and tenant issues.

Mr. Cohen put my mind at ease in our initial consultation. I had a very difficult tenant to evict. After retaining his services he was able to get me through the process with ease. He was very responsive to my questions. I was glad that he was there to represent me in court. I strongly recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone whether you are a tenant or a landlord. He definitely knows what he is doing.

Mr. Cohen is one of the sweetest and most compassionate attorneys I have ever met. I had to call him several times for advice and to ask a bunch of questions, and he took his time to answer them all without rush, or a fee for that matter. Even after having surgery, he still made time to help me with my case. You don't find people like him everywhere... Especially not in this field. I would give him my business or refer him any day. I truly appreciate your time and help Mr. Cohen! God bless you!

Michael Cohen is not to be trusted period! Michael lacks fudiciary service to his client.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the prior reviews are solicited.
Michael will take any case, take your money, delegate most work and the minimal effort applied over the course of months, will end up without solution.
Michael will justify how it’s everyone’s fault and not take accountability.
After all the time, energy, and money wasted, No Refunds.
Reply Back to owner- Just look at the owner’s response for insight into the their character. False assumptions are absolutely made of unsaid person.
My peace of mind is that your are now aware of the wrong doing you’ve done to multiple people and that someone gets saved from malpractice.

Unfortunately, this attorney was not good and he did not represent my interest as a landlord. The tenants without a lawyer got everything they wanted. This attorney never collected any rent, gave an extra 15 days to live free, then agreed to stay on to help restrict me from my property. Attorney did a bait and switch by we discussed one thing but in the end he was changed and baited me to sign off as being a good thing. It would have been nice if he would of as my attorney spoke up for my interest. He is unprofessional, saying one thing doing another. He disclosed to tenants my personal conversation with him. It was not a good experience at all using this attorney and I would not recommend him to others not because I feel he created more problems than he solved but because he was unprofessional calling me babe at times and he was unprepared to represent me in front of judge if had gone and got poor mediation representation.

My family and I are ever so grateful to Mr. Michael Cohen. My calls and emails to my mortgage company concerning a loan modification package I’d submitted went unreturned. Subsequently, our home went into foreclosure. A date had been set for Auction.
Mr. Cohen immediately contacted the mortgage company. From start to finish he stayed on top of this matter. I’m relieved and overjoyed to share that the lender has halted foreclosure proceedings on our home and has granted us a loan modification. Mr. Cohen saved our home!
Needless to say, I highly recommend Mr. Cohen. Please don’t hesitate to contact him!!!

Not just 5 I would give 500 stars to this law firm and the lawyer Mr. Micheal... I came into a situation where landlord was evicting me even though I was ready to pay all the past due balance.. huge mistake was to miss the court date too .. on appointing Mr. Micheal he tried his very best and made impossible possible and landlord agreed to accept the rent ... Sir(Micheal Cohen) ... u know who this is and I thank you with the very best of my heart for saving my home...

This review may be premature but, I am going through a high stress landlord/tenant situation where I need out of my lease immediately! I interviewed with three lawyers today and Michael was the ONLY one who sounded confident that he could help me! By others basically told that I was at my landlords mercy. I’ve been extremely stressed, losing sleep, and ultimately losing my peace. I was discouraged. I must say after reading these reviews I am very excited to meet with him this week. Michael, while I know things won’t always go in the favor of the client, I am confident that you can truly help me as you have the majority of the people here.

Mr. Cohen was very rude on the phone. I have been calling around to try to get help for my disabled son who is being evicted from the apartment he has been living in for over 20 years. As I was searching the internet, Northside Law Center popped up. I called to see if it might be fit for our needs. As I was explaining this, he rudely interrupted and said, “Well, get to your question Ma’am.” That is not the way to treat ANYONE, much less someone who needs assistance and who may hire your services. Shame on you Mr. Cohen.

In September 2017 I started having issues with my landlord. I tried for weeks to find an attorney to help me and I got nothing. I ran across Mr. Cohen's name and number. I called him and sent him all the information I had at the time. Mr. Cohen immediately told me he would fight with me. It is now almost March 2018 and he is still fighting this fight with me. Mr. Cohen cares for his clients whether landlord or tenant or whoever he will do what it takes to get the job done. I love that about him. Since I first retained him in September 2017, he has represented my family and myself in every court case that has come our way. He's a great attorney and a wonderful man in general. Best attorney anyone can have!!!

I was up against a team of attorneys representing the apartments I used to live in and Mr. Cohan got me out of it. Although I knew I was correct in the dispute there was no way I could have won without him. The result was better than I was even hoping for. He really knows what he’s doing. I highly recommend him for anyone in a dispute with their landlord.

Our landlord illegally withheld our deposit money. The landlord played dirty tricks with us to corner us and intimidate us. Michael really helped us out in the process. Not only did we get our full security deposit back, we also received all legal costs from the landlord as well. Highly recommended.

Mr. Cohen at Northside Law was amazing. From his 1st call to me I felt at ease. I could tell he took his clients business and legal matters as if they were his own. The passion he had when addressing my concern was great. He was rapid in his execution and brought a satisfactory end to my tenant/landlord case. He was in constant communication from the 1st call. I needed to break my lease without credit impact or financial burden. He was able to accomplish this on my behalf without having to go to court. My landlord/property management company at the apartment I was not handling my maintenance issues appropriately or in a timely manner, I wanted out of my lease and he got me out! I will use them again if ever need be in the future. Thank you Mr. Cohen!
