I’ve worked with Cohen and Chasse for both mortgage renewals and a new mortgage, and they’ve been our trusted family lawyers for years. The entire team, especially Lawrence,Alison, Chiara, and everyone involved, is incredibly reliable and professional.
They provide consistent communication and send routine reminders, which has made every process smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and dedication to their clients’ needs are outstanding.
I highly recommend Cohen and Chasse for any legal needs related to mortgages or real estate. They are a dependable, experienced team that truly looks out for your best interests.

We have used Cohen and Chasse for two mortgage renewals and the purchase of our new home recently, and in the sea of paperwork and lists to tackle, Alison, Chiara and the team were reliable, responsive and incredibly patient with us. They made the experience, especially the last mile, as easy and thorough as possible. 10/10 recommend.

Had the pleasure of working with Alison and Lawrence for my father's estate. They provided thoughtful counsel on a complicated matter which involved assets in 3 countries, as well as a separate real estate investment opportunity. They've now become my go-to. Highly recommend.

I've engaged Cohen & Chasse on multiple real estate transactions over several years and I've been consistently impressed with the high level of service I've received. In particular, Alison is always incredibly thorough and pays a strong attention to detail, and as a result, closing processes have each gone very smoothly on account of the team's high touch approach, expertise, preparedeness, and good coordination. Thank you Cohen & Chasse!

Our family has been lucky enough to have had Lawrence and his firm's support for all of our legal needs over the past 44 years. He has provided us with excellent guidance and his legal insight has proved to be hugely beneficial.

We engaged Cohen & Chasse for the sale of our house. They quoted my wife "around $1500", but they ended out charging us $2,982.80. They charged a separate $495 to discharge the secured LOC, which was included in the other quotes I received. They charged $59.75 for photocopies, $15.00 for something called "On line", $29.50 for "File opening/storage", and $33.00 for Fax. I do not begrudge a business for trying to make a profit. But, they misrepresented the cost of services at the beginning, skipped it in the presentation/review, and only included it in the transaction report send to us 10 days after closing. They were not transparent in our dealings. Confirm all charges in writing before you consider hiring this firm!
UPDATE
The partner, Alison Cohen, read this review and contacted me to discuss the situation. After the conversation and a short email exchange, she offered a reimbursement to offset the difference between the quoted and charged amounts. It is good to know that there are still business owners in this day and age that will take responsibility for their mistakes and value relationships over a short term gain. We will return as customers in the future and recommend the firm to friends.

No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional… these are the words I would use to describe Alison and her legal team. From our first consultation to weeks after the closing, we were always well informed and thoroughly explained every step of the refinance purchase process and any residuals, which can be very complicated not to mention overwhelming. My Dad and I were refinancing our first property in 2016 and were looking for a good attorney, when a friend who closed on a house a couple of years before recommended Alison office. I consider myself a very detail oriented person, sometimes pushing the boundaries on the patience of the person providing the details. I was very relieved and pleased when I found that both Alison and her father (her right-hand legal support) were not only very knowledgeable in their field but also welcomed any and all questions I had, having an open-communication policy with their clients regarding every step of the transaction. Can’t say that about many attorneys. From the contract signing, which was negotiated as much as possible in our favor and explained to us in details, to the closing table we knew we were in good hands. We felt very confident having Alison representing us as she was very hands on on every aspect of the transaction and very thorough with never-ending paperwork. Thanks to her and her legal team, our first Refinance process ended up being a much more pleasant experience than anticipated. Needless to say, if I ever plan to buy or sell another property or even open up another business, I would definitely go with Alison office again, and I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for representation. She knows her business and she is very good at it.
