Legal Methods
Cohen is media savvy, especially useful when his clients have a high public profile and are uncomfortable with the extra publicity drawn to their case. While many attorneys ignore the media's coverage, Cohen typically goes on a sophisticated "media offensive". Cohen has been quoted as saying that "defenders have to try to balance an inherent media advantage enjoyed by prosecutors."
His history of winning cases and the large legal fees he is now able to command have put Cohen in the position of being able to choose the cases he wants to handle, including accepting clients that cannot afford his fees such as school teacher, Jennifer Porter. Besides criminal matters, Cohen handles personal injury cases. "The same investigative, negotiating and trial skills that made him an outstanding defense lawyer also made him an excellent personal injury lawyer."

“The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
