  After just 15 minutes with Phil, I understood the opportunities and hurdles of my family's situation better than I did after hours of research and advice from consultants. He was patient, generous with his time, and very clear in his assessment and suggestions. Your time will be well spent working with Phillip Cohn.

  We were lucky to have found Phil as a very helpful attorney while we navigated how to best help both of our children who were in the public school system. He is a calm partner, experienced, and knowledgeable specifically about the town of Greenwich. He is an excellent listener who gave sound legal advice. He was invaluable on numerous occasions to help us prep for school meetings.

  We are incredibly grateful for the guidance and support we received throughout the special education process. From the beginning, Attorney Cohn was knowledgeable, calm, and deeply familiar with the complexities of PPT meetings and district negotiations. What stood out most was his ability to explain options clearly, anticipate challenges, and advocate thoughtfully while keeping the process grounded and collaborative. During a very stressful and emotional time for our family, his steady approach made a meaningful difference. We felt well-prepared going into meetings and confident that our child's needs were being represented appropriately. I would highly recommend his services to families navigating special education matters who are looking for both expertise and professionalism.
