About Martin D.
Martin D. Cohen has a career that stretches back to the 1960s. He completed a Bachelor of Science at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, in 1964. Three years later he earned his Juris Doctor from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 1967. Those degrees set the stage for a lengthy legal life in Pennsylvania.
He has been active in the state's legal community for many years. His membership in statewide and national groups has been a constant. He belongs to the American Association for Justice and the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association. In 2020 he joined both the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Pennsylvania Association of Elder Law Attorneys, a sign of professional interest in matters affecting older adults.
Colleagues describe Cohen as steady and experienced at the courthouse. He has carried cases to trial and worked on matters that require careful attention to both legal detail and client needs. He has also maintained a long-standing professional membership that dates back to 1970, reflecting continuity in professional engagement across decades.
Cohen’s training and associations point to two broad areas of practice. He has substantial involvement in trial practice through his work and his ties to trial lawyer groups. He is also active in elder law, as shown by his recent memberships in elder-law organizations. Those two strands—trial litigation and elder-law matters—have shaped the kinds of problems he handles and the professional networks he participates in.
Over the years he has balanced courtroom work with the counseling side of practice. That balance can be important in elder-law matters where litigation risk and planning concerns often intersect. He works in Pennsylvania and has kept an active presence in the state's legal circles for decades. He currently practices in Pennsylvania, concentrating on elder law and civil litigation.
