A longtime New Yorker, Judge Cohen has dedicated his career to public service. Currently serving as a Judge of the New York City Housing Court, Judge Cohen has spent thirteen years working in all three branches of New York State government.
After starting his career as a legislative associate for New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, then Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Judge Cohen worked for seven years in New York Supreme Court as Court Attorney to Justice Richard Lee Price.
In 2000, then New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer appointed Judge Cohen to serve as Assistant Attorney General in the Litigation Bureau. In that capacity, Judge Cohen defended the rights of the Governor of the State of New York, as well as many other state employees and agencies in both federal and state courts.
In 2004, Judge Cohen was appointed by the Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts of the State of New York, Hon. Jonathan Lippman, to the Civil Court of the City of New York as a Judge of the Housing Part. Since then, Judge Cohen has worked tirelessly to ensure that all matters before him are handled with compassion and dedication. Judge Cohen's work as a Judge of the Housing Court has re-enforced his belief that a judge is required to have a broad and deep understanding of the community and the issues before the Court in order to best serve the interest of justice. Since joining the Housing Court, Judge Cohen has had thousands of litigants appear before him.
Judge Cohen works hard to give back to the community. As a volunteer with the Volunteer Lawyers Project, Judge Cohen provided pro-bono assistance to tenants facing eviction proceedings in Housing Court and has also served as a volunteer arbitrator in Small Claims Court. As a longtime member of the Law-Related Education Committee, Judge Cohen reaches out to youth throughout the city, engaging young students in the law. Judge Cohen regularly coaches a team competing in the New York State High School Mock Trial Competition. These mock trials provide young adults with an empowering experience, which leaves them with skills and knowledge that are invaluable to them throughout their lives. As a Judge of the Housing Court, Judge Cohen initiated a proposal that would help alleviate the shortage of guardians ad litem, who stand in for severely disabled litigants, providing an essential service to them in their court proceedings.
Judge Cohen graduated from Yeshiva University in New York City with a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science, and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law with a Juris Doctor. At Cardozo, Judge Cohen served as the Entertainment Competition Editor of the Moot Court Honor Society. Judge Cohen is a member of the New York County Lawyers' Association, the New York State Bar Association, The Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the Jewish Lawyers Guild, the Association of Small Claims Arbitrators and has served on the Twelfth Judicial District Gender Bias Committee.
Judge Cohen currently resides on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with his wife Gila, and two children, Sarah and Maximilian.
