About David R.
David R. Cohen has practiced law since the late 1980s. He earned a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Camden in 1989 after completing undergraduate studies in economics and philosophy in 1986. His academic path combined analytical training with legal study, a background that informs the way he approaches complex civil disputes.
Cohen began his legal career in New Jersey and has maintained an active presence in state and federal courts. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The New Jersey Supreme Court has certified him as a Civil Trial Lawyer, a credential that signals courtroom experience and an ability to try cases before juries and judges.
Over time Cohen moved from traditional litigation roles into a narrower niche. He founded Cohen Kolodny Abuse Analytics, LLC, creating a practice that blends case analysis with litigation strategy. The firm’s name reflects an emphasis on abuse-related matters, and Cohen built the company around methods intended to clarify patterns and support civil claims. He has kept ties to local bar organizations, including membership in the Mercer County Bar Association and long-standing membership in the New Jersey Bar Association dating back to 1989.
Colleagues describe Cohen as methodical. He approaches evidence and testimony the way an investigator would, parsing timelines and records to test assertions. That approach is consistent with his academic training in economics and philosophy, which often centers on careful reasoning and weighing competing theories. The certification as a civil trial lawyer complements that work; it provides a formal recognition of courtroom skills that can matter when a case advances to trial.
Cohen’s work spans state and federal arenas. He has litigated matters in New Jersey courts and handled appellate matters in the Third Circuit. In practice he combines trial experience, appellate access, and an analytic approach to assess complex allegations. He remains an active member of his local bar community and continues to participate in professional activities that support his litigation work.
Today he leads Cohen Kolodny Abuse Analytics, LLC and continues to handle civil matters that involve analysis of abusive conduct and related litigation issues. He practices in New Jersey and is available to litigate matters in the Third Circuit, focusing his practice on civil trial and abuse-analytics work.
