LATEST TESTIMONIALS:

DM: I contacted the Law Office of Faye Riva Cohen, P.C. when the Social Security alleged that I had been overpaid over $180,000. I was beside myself with worry, because I knew that the alleged debt was due to incorrect information. The Firm's attorneys worked tirelessly and were able to reduce that debt to a fraction of the alleged amount owed, and are continuing to work to reduce that amount further. I rely on them for moral support and their fine legal expertise.
