His practice covers Middlesex, Bristol, Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, Essex and Worcester counties.

Unlike others who write ineffective letters and make time wasting telephone calls, Mr Cohen uses a more direct approach for in state collections. Mr. Cohen strongly believes that if you are unable to collect your money with letters and telephone calls, a "legal letter" to the debtor that you intend to take further legal action in most cases merely allows the debtor to hide their assets.

Mr. Cohen's philosophy is simple. He commences suit immediately , seeking where appropriate, ex parte attachments of the debtor's bank accounts, real estate, or income stream. When successful, your debtor will first learn of Attorney Cohen's name when the debtor's bank tells them that we have attached their account.

Despite his use of aggressive debt collection techniques, Mr. Cohen believes that it never pays to be rude to a debtor. He attempts to preserve your choice of rehabilitating the debtor into a good paying customer. Furthermore, unlike many attorneys who don't return telephone calls, Mr. Cohen attempts to respond to all calls as soon as possible.

Your retaining of an experienced collection attorney who knows how to aggressively use legal debt collection techniques, may make the difference between getting paid and not getting paid.
