Jake Cohen is a practicing first-chair trial attorney at Bisnar Chase who deals with civil litigation cases for plaintiffs and consumers. Above all, his mission is to make a difference in the lives of his clients.
That can mean helping one person at a time as a fearless jury trial advocate. It could also involve helping people on a wider scale by obtaining verdicts against exploitative corporations, forcing them into better practices.
Jake is always ready to put his skills to use to protect the rights of his clients and make the world a safer place.
Most of the cases he handles involve serious accidents and injuries. These include (but are not limited to) car crashes and other auto incidents, dog attacks, trip or slip-and-fall injuries, and dangerous and defective products.
Jake grew up in Venice Beach, California, and graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a BA in political science. He then graduated Cum Laude with his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego.
He has worked full-time from the age of 16 until he completed law school to finance his education. Jake’s various roles included working as a personal trainer, in restaurants, and in hospitality.
Jake takes great satisfaction from balancing the scales of justice. He said: “I believe in holding wrongdoers accountable and forcing them to compensate those they injure. I get the chance to fight for victims, as well as deterring future misconduct, making the world a safer place.”
Jake Cohen is licensed to practice law in California and Nevada. His first legal experience came as a law clerk with a criminal defense firm. However, after passing the bar, he committed himself to plaintiff-side litigation, supporting clients who had suffered serious injuries.
Throughout his career so far, he has recovered millions of dollars for personal injury victims, developing his skills as an accomplished jury trial lawyer.
Whether helping individuals or groups of people under a class action, Jake is passionate about fighting for justice for those who have been wronged. He is dedicated to providing aggressive representation, acting as a voice for his clients, and standing up to insurance companies and exploitative corporations.
Described as bold, confident, and with a relentless work ethic in honing his legal skills, Jake has a track record of building cases using intelligent and creative strategies and thrives in front of a jury at trial.
He is excited to help clients across California as part of the Bisnar Chase team.
