Jeremy Cohen
Boston Dog Lawyers - For Pets and Their Owners
After learning about how poorly our pets are treated under the current law, I have been on a mission to 'bark back' on behalf of our pets who cannot speak for themselves.
By handling over 100 cases a year, my firm is establishing a new way of compelling courts and authorities to listen to all of the facts in pet related cases such as: pet custody matters, dangerous dog hearings, wrongful pet injury and dog bite law suits.
Having co-parented Jesse the German shepherd and now Maisey, our Golden retriever, my family and I are amazed daily by the support and encouragement people give to me for establishing Boston Dog Lawyers. We are not surprised by how strongly people feel about their pets and now they have a law firm that is equally passionate to protect their rights.
