Why Cohen Law Group
Plenty of firms say they will fight for you. Here is what stands behind ours — and the people who back it up.
We prepare every case for trial
Most disputes settle. The ones that settle well are the ones the other side knows are ready for court. We evaluate every case as if it may go to trial — building leverage early and a factual record that holds up.
Built for litigation, not volume-driven settlements.
Real courtroom experience
Our attorneys have spent their careers in California litigation: trials, arbitrations, motions, and appeals. When a case has to be tried, the people preparing it have done it before.
Susan Peterson tried more than 70 jury trials as a prosecutor. Jordan M. Cohen personally managed trials and arbitrations for ten years at his own firm.
We know how the other side builds its case
We advise employers on compliance and internal investigations, and our attorneys have represented companies from small businesses to the Fortune 500. We bring that inside view of how employers, corporations, and insurers defend themselves to every case we take on.
Joon Song previously led litigation for a multistate firm, overseeing a team of sixteen lawyers and legal professionals.
Business owners, not just lawyers
Our founder and senior counsel have run businesses themselves. Expect practical advice focused on leverage, evidence, and what an outcome is actually worth to you — and efficient resolution when that serves your goals.
Jordan M. Cohen is a small business owner; Joyce H. Ma brings experience as an entrepreneur and business professional.

How We Handle Your Case
A litigation-first approach: every case is evaluated as if it may go to trial, even when early resolution is possible. That mindset strengthens your position from day one.
- Step 1
Free consultation
We listen carefully to the facts and identify the potential claims under California law.
- Step 2
Straight answers
We explain your rights, risks, and available remedies — and answer your questions directly and honestly.
- Step 3
Build leverage early
Evidence disappears and deadlines approach quickly. We move early to preserve evidence and develop a strong factual record.

What Our Clients Say
Verified Google Review
“We retained Cohen Law Group for a highly complex partnership dispute involving fraud, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duty. From the very first consultation, it was clear that the team—including Jordan and Joyce—possessed a deep understanding of litigation strategy that other firms lacked. They didn’t just file paperwork; they dismantled the opposition’s case piece by piece, exposing hundreds of thousands in misappropriated assets. Thanks to their aggressive representation, we secured a favorable settlement that protected our company’s future. If you need a team that thrives in the courtroom, this is it.”

“Jordan Cohen provided outstanding legal representation for me throughout an EDD audit I was unfortunately going through. Although the matter took several years to fully resolve, Jordan was consistent, responsive, and thorough from start to finish. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, made his professional recommendations for a course of action, kept me informed as things progressed, and demonstrated a deep understanding of a very complex area of law. His guidance gave me confidence during what could have been an overwhelming situation. I highly recommend the Cohen Law Group to anyone in need of knowledgeable and dependable legal counsel.”
