About Cohn Legal, PLLC
Cohn Legal, PLLC is a trademark and intellectual property law firm at 697 Broadway in Somerville, Massachusetts, positioned as a Boston-area practice serving clients throughout New England and, per its site, the United States and internationally. The firm maintains a Boston line at 617.616.5761 alongside a New York number, and its published service list is heavily weighted toward trademarks: comprehensive and clearance searches, application drafting and filing, prosecution, office action responses, monitoring, maintenance, renewal, and TTAB proceedings, along with cease-and-desist letters, infringement matters, and international filings. The site also lists copyright registration, patent prosecution, domain name and internet enforcement, and corporate counsel.
Recurring names in the feedback are attorney Abraham (Abe) Cohn and team members including Shantel, credited for responsiveness, patience, and plain-language walkthroughs of the USPTO process. Reviewers describe multi-class filings, renewals that had stalled when attempted alone, and adversarial matters, including one account of defending a mark that was ultimately sold and another of resolving long-running IP issues with a previous firm. Several clients mention cost: fees called fair, reasonable, affordable for a startup, or lower than expected, and one reviewer notes recommendations specifically aimed at saving money across multiple classes.
The client mix reads entrepreneurial and small-business oriented, spanning music, crypto, consumer brands, and international applicants filing in the U.S. Alongside trademark filings, reviewers mention LLC formation and contract drafting, suggesting some clients use the firm for broader business needs. Atmosphere in the feedback is characterized as personal and unhurried, with clients noting prompt replies, proactive follow-up, and being kept informed at each stage.
Limitations are worth noting. One one-star review describes a paid one-hour consultation that ran roughly 30 minutes and felt rushed, with insufficient strategic detail; the firm publicly disputed that account. Beyond that, published feedback skews almost entirely to trademark registration and enforcement, leaving the other listed practice areas with little visitor commentary.
