From the Bronx, for the Bronx

Evan W. Kohn grew up in the Bronx. He went to the Bronx High School of Science. He built his law office here, at 2000 White Plains Road — right under the elevated 2/5 train in Parkchester. He never left, because this is home.

For over 35 years, Mr. Kohn has practiced one kind of law: personal injury. Car accidents. Falls in apartment buildings. Injuries on construction sites and at work. He helps people who are hurt, worried about bills, and unsure what to do next.

Why does a local lawyer matter? Because the Bronx is not like everywhere else. Mr. Kohn knows the courthouse on the Grand Concourse. He knows the hospitals where our clients get treated — Jacobi, Montefiore, Lincoln. He knows the NYCHA buildings, the busy corners, and the streets where accidents happen. When your lawyer knows your neighborhood, he can tell your story the way it really happened.

Big firms treat you like a case number. They pass your file from desk to desk. That is not how we work. This office is small on purpose. Mr. Kohn knows his clients by name, and many of them come from the same blocks he grew up on. Our motto is simple, and we mean it: from the Bronx, for the Bronx.

We also know what our neighbors worry about. Can I afford a lawyer? Yes — the consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless we win. Will anyone speak my language? Yes — our staff speaks English, Spanish, Bengali, Greek, and Albanian. Everyone is welcome here. No judgment. No pressure. Just help.

And if you are hurt and cannot travel, that is not a problem either. Mr. Kohn has been visiting clients at home and in the hospital for decades. If you can travel but have no ride, we can send a car for your first consultation. Getting help should be the easy part.

Mr. Kohn is a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science. He earned his B.A. from SUNY Buffalo and his J.D. cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School.

He is admitted to practice law in New York, in New Jersey, and before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. He is a member of the New York State Bar Association, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and the New Jersey State Bar Association.

For more than 35 years, his work has followed the same steady path: investigate the accident, handle the no-fault and insurance paperwork, negotiate with the insurance company — and when the insurer will not pay fairly, take the case to court.
