About Cohen, Placitella & Roth

CPR Gets Results
For 50 years, our lawyers have earned a distinguished reputation for helping clients achieve life-changing outcomes across a wide variety of personal injury types. By applying a tenacious approach and fresh strategic perspective to each case, we seek justice for our clients and strive to make a positive lasting impact on their lives. Some of our most noteworthy accomplishments include:
Pursue Justice. Champion People.
You’ll find that CPR prioritizes high ethical standards, innovative legal thinking, a passion for justice, and a commitment to changing lives for the better. You’ll also find that we “walk the walk” when it comes to instilling these core values into our everyday practices.
Fight for What’s Right
We are determined to help those injured through no fault of their own, and we strive to do the right thing by them every step of the way. We level the playing field for people who are severely injured by people or companies who have acted carelessly or abused their power — taking on the fights that people think can’t be won because we have the experience and knowledge to do so.
Leave No Stone Unturned
We believe that to achieve optimum outcomes, we must embrace the philosophy that many heads are better than one when it comes to problem-solving. Driven by purpose, we think things through as a team in order to meticulously explore every perspective and find unique solutions to challenging issues.
Put People First, Always
We care deeply about our clients, our staff, and our communities. For us, success isn’t measured just by the number of cases we’ve won — it is also measured by the meaningful results we achieve for the people we serve. And we will not rest until we have made a positive impact on people’s lives.
Know When to Talk — and When to Listen
Our clients come to us feeling vulnerable, uncertain, and isolated, and they need our voices and expertise to navigate complicated legal matters that they can’t handle alone. During this journey, they trust us with the extremely sensitive details of their lives and, in turn, have a strong expectation for privacy. We don’t take that responsibility lightly. We listen intently to their needs as we craft the best possible legal representation for their unique circumstances.
Make History
Our collective work has contributed to many significant historical legal milestones in PA, NJ, and across the nation. We are proud to not only deliver meaningful results to our clients, but also to ultimately shape laws that positively impact the greater community.
