About Joel G
Joel G Cohen graduated from Bentley College in 1976 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. He earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University in 1982. Those two degrees set a practical foundation for a legal career that blends business sense with courtroom work.
He entered the bar shortly after law school and began building a practice that would tie him to his community. By 1985 he had joined the Somerset County Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Those memberships have remained part of his professional life for decades.
Cohen’s civic and professional leadership extends beyond the courthouse. He served as president of the Warren Business & Professional Association from 1995 to 2007. He took turns in leadership at the Jewish Federation of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties, holding vice president and then president roles from 1996 to 2001. He also served as president of the Warren-Watchung Rotary from 1998 to 1999. Those posts reflected an interest in organizational governance and local civic institutions.
His legal career has been steady rather than flashy. He has practiced in a firm environment and helped manage the day-to-day demands of client work and firm administration. Colleagues describe him as practical and thorough, the sort of lawyer who balances legal analysis with attention to how matters affect clients’ lives and businesses.
Cohen joined Flanzbaum & Cohen, LLC, where he has been part of a small firm setting. That environment has allowed him to handle a range of matters and to work closely with clients over the life of a case. He has also maintained ties to bar organizations and local service groups while managing an active practice.
Outside the office, his long involvement in community boards and professional groups shows a measure of steadiness. Serving long terms in volunteer and leadership positions suggests an interest in institutional continuity and mentorship. Those roles have kept him connected to local business leaders and nonprofit networks.
Now in 2026, Joel G Cohen continues to practice law at Flanzbaum & Cohen, LLC, balancing client work with ongoing participation in professional and civic organizations. He currently practices at Flanzbaum & Cohen, LLC, handling a range of matters for the firm's clients.
