Accident Attorneys serving Nassau County, Long Island, New York
The Long Island personal injury lawyers and staff at the Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP, are committed to the Long Island communities where we live and work.

Listed below is but a small sample of the many ways Cohen & Jaffe’s attorneys and staff contribute their time and effort to help make Long Island a better place for all.
After the tragic death of attorney Stephen M. Cohen’s two young grandchildren in 2014, the Reagan and Jax Cohen Memorial Fund was established to support organizations that “improve the lives of children, by making an impact on their health, welfare and/or general well being.” The firm and many of its lawyers and staff have been heavily involved with the organization, including an annual golf tournament that raises funds for the organization’s charitable endeavors.
The firm also serves as a sponsor of the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, and has made a donation to the organization each time the firm’s Facebook page received a “like.” The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is dedicated to “finding a cure for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) while improving the lives of those affected.” The disease involves a genetic disorder that causes non-malignant tumors to grow in various organs of the body, frequently with life-changing results.
