About Cohen Law Group — Employment Attorneys in Los Angeles

Cohen Law Group LA represents clients in complex litigation throughout California in employment, business, insurance, and catastrophic injury matters. Our work rests on a simple idea: disciplined preparation, creative litigation, and trial-ready advocacy put clients in the strongest possible position — whether a case resolves early or goes the distance.

Founded by a trial lawyer who has run a business

Jordan M. Cohen founded Cohen Law Group and serves as its principal attorney. He brings more than three decades of legal experience and firsthand insight as a small business owner — a practical perspective that shapes how the firm approaches matters affecting businesses, individuals, and policyholders.

Before founding the firm, Jordan:

• Led the Pro Athlete Law Group, representing professional athletes in workers' compensation and player benefit matters while overseeing attorneys and staff across multiple offices.
• Operated The Cohen Law Firm for ten years, handling insurance bad faith, labor and employment disputes, class actions, complex torts, and business litigation — personally managing trials, arbitrations, and overall case strategy.
• Was an associate and partner at Levine, Steinberg & Miller, focusing on complex tort litigation and insurance bad faith.

A team built for high-stakes disputes

Hard cases call for more than one kind of experience. Our attorneys bring three complementary perspectives:

• The business owner's view. Jordan brings firsthand insight as a small business owner, and Senior Counsel Joyce H. Ma draws on her background as an entrepreneur and business professional. Joyce represents clients ranging from Fortune 500 and multinational corporations to small businesses, sole proprietors, and government entities.
• The prosecutor's trial instincts. Associate Counsel Susan Peterson served with the Contra Costa and Denver District Attorney's Offices, where she conducted more than 70 jury trials. She has spent the past two decades in private practice handling employment, contract, business, and personal injury matters.
• Large-firm and appellate depth. Senior Counsel Joon Song was managing attorney for litigation at a multistate law firm, overseeing a team of sixteen lawyers and legal professionals. He has drafted writs and appellate briefs for the California Court of Appeal and has represented clients from small businesses to Fortune 5, 100, and 500 companies.

Litigation-first, by design

We are built for litigation — not volume-driven settlements. Every case is evaluated as if it may go to trial, even when early resolution is possible. That mindset strengthens your position from day one.

• Leverage early. We focus on building leverage from the start and developing a strong factual record.
• Pressure where it counts. We apply strategic pressure where it creates leverage — not for its own sake.
• Resolution on your terms. We pursue efficient resolution when it aligns with your objectives, and prepare for trial when it does not.
• Your priorities first. Your priorities drive every decision we make.

What we handle

• Employment Law

  We represent employees throughout California who have been wrongfully terminated, harassed, retaliated against, discriminated against, or denied their lawful wages. We also advise employers on risk mitigation, compliance, workplace policies, employee classification, and internal investigations.

• Business Litigation

  Plaintiff and defense. We represent businesses, executives, entrepreneurs, partners, and shareholders in contract disputes, partnership and shareholder conflicts, business torts, and trade secret disputes.

• Insurance Coverage

  Policyholders only. We hold insurers accountable when they wrongfully deny, delay, or underpay claims owed under homeowners, auto, life, health, and commercial policies.

• Personal Injury

  Serious and catastrophic injuries — brain, spinal cord, and severe orthopedic injuries, along with serious auto and trucking accidents, premises liability, and defective products.
