Gary M. Cohen

Partner

I am driven to do better and to fight back for you.

Gary M. Cohen has concentrated his practice almost exclusively in medical malpractice for his entire career and is nationally recognized in that area. For more than 40 years, Gary has helped hundreds of victims of medical malpractice receive full compensation for the disastrous injuries that have occurred to them or their loved ones.

Gary’s experience and dedication to his career have earned him a membership in the exclusive American Board of Trial Advocates, as well as the Presidency of the Broward County Trial Lawyers Association. He has also been selected to serve on one of the national committees of the American Association for Justice and has been asked to lecture across the United States on topics relating to medical malpractice litigation.

Gary has successfully resolved thousands of multi-million dollar claims through settlement or trial for the benefit of his clients and receives great satisfaction from knowing that the catastrophically injured can successfully fight the billion-dollar insurance industry and medical industry to receive their just compensation.

Gary is licensed to practice law in all Florida State Courts and Federal Courts and has litigated cases in every part of the State of Florida, as well as nationwide. He is also an Eagle member of the Florida Association for Justice, a statewide organization that ensures that the citizens of the State of Florida retain their rights to access to the courts despite the many attempts to restrict those rights by vested interests.
