   Cohn & Dussi, LLC was established in the early 1990\'s as a civil litigation law firm with extensive experience in commercial litigation, creditors’ rights, leasing, corporate law, bankruptcy, litigation, construction law and real estate. We emphasize a highly professional team approach to address and resolve each client’s needs by drawing on the specialized knowledge of those best qualified to handle their unique situation. This team approach enhances communications, expedites resolution of the prevailing issues, and serves to contain the costs associated with representation. We pride ourselves on providing each client with efficient, responsive and cost-effective service. One obvious proof of Cohn & Dussi’s success at achieving these goals is the caliber of the firm\'s clients and the loyalty of these clients.Our clients benefit from a \"case review process\" where attorneys in the firm meet regularly to assess ongoing litigation and the legal issues involved. The result is an open dialog that stimulates case discussion and enables us to explore the best and most appropriate legal options available.After assessing a case, if litigation is warranted, our attorneys have experience in all state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels. To further enhance the highest quality of client service, we utilize a state-of-the-art computer network, the latest legal software, and an up-to-date communications network.
