Jeremy Adam Cohen

Today, he also takes on custody cases, cases involving emotional support animals and wrongful pet injury and defends dog owners when they’re being sued. For Cohen, the mission goes deeper than just saving pets. He understands that pet owners have rights—rights that are often overlooked or ignored. "Families have a right to be heard. As a defense, we have a right to find out how this happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it,” he says. His mission became clear: To advocate for the rights of pet owners and ensure that authorities reach the right decisions in the right way. Cohen’s dedication is relentless. His determination to keep fighting for those who can’t speak for themselves drives him. His work doesn’t stop at individual cases, either. Cohen has helped shape policy and law in Massachusetts, including his role in the passage of Ollie’s Law, which regulates boarding facilities, and his involvement in establishing legal precedent for shared custody of pets. Boston Dog Lawyers is more than just a law firm; it’s a lifeline for pet owners who feel powerless in the face of an unjust system. While it’s not always about the money, Cohen firmly believes that courts need to place greater value on pets’ lives, pushing back against a system that often sees pets as replaceable. For Cohen, every case is personal. He approaches each one with the belief that he can win, but outcome aside, his ultimate goal is for every pet owner to feel seen, heard, and understood—knowing how deeply he cares about their beloved companion. At its core, Boston Dog Lawyers isn’t just about legal victories; it’s about ensuring that pet owners have a voice, that cases are handled with the care they deserve, and that the legal system values the lives of pets as more than just property. "We’re not going to quit," Cohen says, and that determination fuels everything Boston Dog Lawyers stands for today—and will continue to stand for in the future.
