About Sara B
Sara B. Cohen built her path to the law in New Jersey. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers University–New Brunswick/Piscataway in 2012 and returned to Rutgers for her law degree, receiving a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Newark in 2015. Her academic years were followed quickly by entry into legal practice in the state she continues to serve.
Her early experience included a position listed as Associate at Stolfe Zeigler in 2012. She then completed law school and entered the bar, where she is admitted to practice in New Jersey. Those years gave her exposure to the mechanics of civil practice and the local court culture she would work in for the next decade.
In 2019 Cohen held positions at two firms. She was listed as Lawyer at Divorce Lawyers at Divorce Done Right and as an Associate at Petrelli Previtera, LLC. The roles reflect an early movement into matrimonial and family law matters. The work required frequent appearances in county family courts and negotiations on settlements. It also involved drafting pleadings, preparing discovery, and counseling clients through complex personal transitions.
Cohen’s professional affiliations date to 2016. She is a member of the Ocean County Bar Association and the Monmouth County Bar Association, where she has participated in committee activities and local bar events. She also belongs to the Family Law Section and the Young Lawyers Division, connections that place her among peers who handle custody, support, and divorce issues across New Jersey.
Colleagues describe her style as straightforward and practical. She balances courtroom work and client counseling. That balance shows in cases that require both firm litigation tactics and careful negotiation. The record of practice reflects repeated involvement in family law matters, including contested hearings and settlement conferences.
Outside the courtroom Cohen has engaged in continuing education tied to her bar and association memberships. She attends seminars and local bar meetings to keep abreast of changes in family law rules and procedures in New Jersey. That ongoing participation shapes how she advises clients and frames case strategy.
Today she is associated with Petrelli Previtera, LLC. She handles family law matters in New Jersey courts and addresses issues common to divorce and matrimonial practice. Her current practice focuses on family law and related matrimonial matters.
