Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

In 1951, two enterprising lawyers, Herbert L. Cohen and Austin K. Wolf, joined forces, creating a law firm that has grown steadily to become Cohen and Wolf, a full-service firm of about 50 lawyers with three offices in Connecticut. That growth is the best evidence of our success as experienced, savvy, dedicated lawyers who get the job done.

No matter how you measure success, we will help you reach your goals. We're ready to answer your questions, offer options and pursue your legal interests with diligence, skill and efficiency. Cohen and Wolf represents a diverse mix of businesses, individuals and municipalities. In many instances, we handle both the personal and professional legal needs of business owners and executives.

In everything we do, we take a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to ensure that the advice we give in each area of law works in concert with our clients' overall goals. While intently focused on the small details required in legal work, we never lose sight of the big picture for our clients' success.

Real Estate Law
I have used Cohen and Wolf for years and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future. They have the skill set and depth to handle most any situation. Additionally they have always been very responsive to our needs as if we were their most important client.

Commercial Litigation
Cohen and Wolf offers excellent legal representation that provided a high degree of understanding, humanity, integrity and professionalism throughout an arduous litigation process.

Securities Regulation
Richard Slavin has been our regulatory attorney for 30 years. His document drafting and strategic advice have been effective 100% of the time for our firm. He is responsive and reasonably priced (for the quality of his work). We also regularly refer clients to Richard DiMarco for estate tax strategy and document drafting. He gets high marks from us and our clients.
John Vaccaro – Westport Resources
Municipal Law
Cohen and Wolf has handled major litigation for the town of Ridgefield for the past 10 years. Just recently, a federal case has come to a close with a positive outcome for the town. The firm’s strategic planning and preparation and superior presentation are what we feel won the case for us.
Rudolph Marconi, First Selectman – Town of Ridgefield
Securities Regulation
Rick Slavin of Cohen and Wolf is the best securities regulation attorney in CT, hands down.
