About Lawrence
Lawrence Cohen built his legal foundation at Quinnipiac University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 1990. He completed undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Albany, graduating in 1986 with a B.S. in finance. Those credentials gave him both legal training and a grounding in financial matters that would inform his practice.
After law school he became admitted to practice across state and federal courts. He is licensed in New York and Connecticut, and he holds admission in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Those admissions allow him to handle matters in both state and federal forums.
Cohen maintains memberships in the State Bar of New York and the State Bar of Connecticut. He is also a member of Elder Counsel, an organization that supports attorneys who represent older adults and their families. That association points to an interest in the legal needs that arise for aging clients.
Over the years he has operated from a private practice under the Law Offices of Lawrence Cohen P.C. He runs a small office and manages client matters directly. He has worked on cases that require an understanding of financial as well as legal issues, drawing on his undergraduate training in finance.
Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical and straightforward in court filings and client meetings. He writes clearly and prefers direct communication. In negotiations or contested proceedings he tends to rely on precise legal analysis rather than rhetorical flourish. He prepares filings carefully and emphasizes practical solutions when a case allows for them.
Beyond casework he participates in bar activities and continuing legal education that keep him current on changes in elder law and related fields. His memberships in both New York and Connecticut state bars reflect the regional scope of his practice. He represents individuals and families on matters that often involve both legal and financial questions.
He practices from the Law Offices of Lawrence Cohen P.C., where his current work centers on elder law, estate planning and related eldercare matters.
