Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf

What Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf does

Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf LLP is a full-service law firm founded in 1924 and headquartered in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, serving clients primarily throughout Northern New Jersey in state and federal courts. The firm's practice spans personal injury, family law (including divorce, custody, child support, and mediation), estate planning and administration, real estate, business transactions and formations, commercial litigation, construction litigation, environmental litigation, appellate litigation, alternative dispute resolution (mediation and arbitration), and access to public records / OPRA matters. There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning the offering — the firm's "product" is practitioner expertise delivered through individual case representation across litigation, transactional, and advisory engagements.

The firm's go-to-market relies on traditional professional services channels: direct consultations, referrals, professional networking, and a content-marketing website (njlawfirm.com) with topical blogs in family law, personal injury, and OPRA. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but follows standard legal-services mechanics — typically hourly billing across most practice areas, with contingency arrangements common in personal injury matters. Clients are split across two primary segments: individuals seeking help with personal-life matters (divorce, estate planning, injury claims) and small to large businesses requiring commercial litigation, transactional, and advisory support.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm is organized as a private limited liability partnership with no external investors, parent company, or public listing. The firm maintains ~24 listed attorneys across Partner, Of Counsel, Senior Associate, and Associate roles, including Joshua P. Cohn as Managing Partner. Strategic positioning emphasizes longevity (over 100 years of continuous operation), peer-reviewed credentials (Martindale-Hubbell AV, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Chambers High Net Worth), and demonstrated trial capability, including Million Dollar Advocates Forum membership.
