Amber Zehrung of Cohen Defense
The majority of the reviews praise Amber Zehrung, a lawyer at Cohen Defense, for her exceptional service. Reviewers highlight her excellent communication skills, responsiveness, and ability to lay out a clear plan for her clients. One reviewer mentions that she was recommended by an attorney and appreciated Amber's clear explanation of her retainer fees and expenses. Her office staff are also praised for their helpfulness, engagement, and responsiveness.
Barry Zimmerman
However, one reviewer, Harwinder B., had a very different experience with Barry Zimmerman, a partner at Cohen Defense. Harwinder rated Barry's service as 1 star and described his experience as "the worst legal representation I have ever experienced." They claim that Barry was incompetent and that they, along with two other clients who worked with him, regretted hiring him. Harwinder plans to file a complaint with the California Bar against Zimmerman.
Overall Experience
Several reviewers appreciated the attention to detail, professionalism, and success of their cases with Amber Zehrung and Alison Cohen. JessAnn C. notes that the staff were "amazingly relaxed yet professional" and that they refunded their money after finding that they didn't need to hire the attorney.
