Feedback from Clients
So grateful for Cohen Healthcare Law Group's Strategy Session. Attorney Mark Paxton saved us from a multitude of perils during just our first consult. Therefore, I am happy to say that Cohen Law will spearhead our 510k application.

Thank you.

Cohen Law is very professional. It started with a virtual initial call, then they connected me with an experienced attorney for my needs. They sent me the contracts promptly and follow up with every step of the way.

I had a very informative session with Matthew. He sought out a clear understanding of my situation and we covered a lot in the session. I now have clarity on my next steps and I can move forward. Very helpful staff as well.
– Dani Sonal
Great experience with the Lawyer Chris Esseltine. He was instantly up to speed after reading my paper work and came to the call fully prepared. The entire session took less than 30 minutes, because he already did his research. It was money VERY WELL spent, I could not be happier.

I was looking for a healthcare law firm knowledgeable about Functional Medicine to start my practice. I heard of Cohen Healthcare Law Group through many integrative medicine websites, and I was not disappointed. I felt heard and welcomed from the start by the team, and I felt the attorney well addressed my legal needs. At the end of my legal session, I felt confident in the path forward with my practice.
– Eri Shimizu
I have nothing but positive comments to say about this group. From the very beginning, Christian has been so helpful and available, even after hours. Molly provided us with all the answers and clarity we needed. I look forward to this business journey with this group. I highly recommend this group if you are seeking medical-legal advice.

Used them to review acquisition of a medical practice, and I found this law group to be very easy to work with, efficient; Matthew was my attorney and he exceeded expectations - five stars.
– Gin H
After moving to California from Hong Kong, I was quite confused as to what I could and could not legally do in the state of California. Michael Cohen and his team gave me hope that I could build a successful and legal business. This was a major stress relief. Michael showed genuine interest and concern in my regulatory challenges and he was able to research and come up with solutions for me. I would hire Michael Cohen again and highly recommend him to anyone who would like to start a business in health care.
– Monica Borschel
I would definitely recommend. I needed direction regarding the FDA and how the rules would affect my business. Responsive, accessible, and knowledgeable.
– Richard Freedland
This firm was very helpful in explaining Stark Law to me. I needed to understand this for my medi spa start up.
