Nearly Fifty Years, Exclusively on the Plaintiff Side
Steven Cohen graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University in political science in 1975 before earning his law degree in 1978, the same year he founded his own practice. He was admitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona in 1978, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1980, and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987. Super Lawyers describes his practice as focused exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death litigation, representing individuals and families across the state harmed by others’ negligence.
Cohen has also taught law: one peer endorsement describes him as a law school professor whose class “generated the most interest, and likely impact” of any the reviewer took in three years of law school, adding that “his reputation proceeds him” as a practicing attorney.
Áreas de práctica
The firm’s docket covers motor vehicle, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, dog bites, and claims involving unsafe or dangerous premises, alongside broader personal injury and wrongful death litigation, medical malpractice, and product liability matters.

ACERCA DE ESTOS RESULTADOS. Case citations above are drawn from published Arizona appellate decisions; the specific outcomes and Cohen’s role in each were not independently confirmed beyond the citation itself. Past results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict the outcome of any future case; every matter turns on its own facts and law.
En palabras de los clientes
Awesome Attorneys did not locate detailed, individually attributable client reviews for Cohen Law on major consumer platforms as of the research date; Avvo shows no reviews posted, though the attorney has several detailed peer endorsements from fellow lawyers describing his courtroom reputation and, in one case, his teaching.
Más allá de la sala del tribunal
Cohen has served as a Judge Pro Tem of the Paradise Valley Municipal Court since 2001, a role reflecting standing within the local judicial system that spans more than two decades.
Reconocimientos
Cohen has been named a Southwest Super Lawyer every year since 2007 and is recognized among the National Trial Lawyers’ Top 100. His Certified Specialist designation in Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation from the State Bar of Arizona is the strongest peer-reviewed credential this series tracks.

La evaluación de Awesome Attorneys
Steven Cohen’s nearly five-decade, exclusively plaintiff-side career, genuine certification, and continuous judicial service since 2001 are well-documented and substantive credentials. His federal court admissions spanning district, circuit, and Supreme Court levels reflect a broad-based litigation career.
The honest caveat: Awesome Attorneys could not locate a modern client-review footprint or an itemized results ledger, which is common among long-tenured solo practices in this series but still worth noting for a prospective client doing independent research online.
