Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP is a high volume debt collection law firm with its main office located at 199 Crossways Park Dr., Woodbury, NY 11797-02016.Cohen & Slamowitz has been sued repeatedly by New York consumers for its unfair and deceptive debt collection practices. For example:Earlier this year, Schlanger & Schlanger LLP along with co-counsel Roddy, Klein & Ryan brought t a class action lawsuit against Cohen & Slamowitz and several of its attorneys for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The case relates to collection actions taken on judgments obtained via fraudulent service of process of which Cohen & Slamowitz had knowledge. Specifically, in 2006 a process server who had spent years working for Midlantic Process admitted under oath that his former employer, who worked extensively for Cohen & Slamowitz, systematically filed thousands of false affidavits with New York courts. Cohen & Slamowitz was aware of Mr. Vegas affidavit, having been involved in the case in which it was filed, and did nothing about it. They neither notified the impacted consumers, nor the Courts, that the Midlantic affidavits of service were false, nor that the law firms previous sworn statements regarding the affidavits were in need of revision. To the contrary, when confronted with consumers who claimed lack of service, Cohen & Slamowitz pointed to the Midlantic affidavits as definitive proof that service had been made. The case, Coble, et al. v. Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP, et al., 11-cv-1037 (S.D.N.Y. 2011), is still pending; check in here for more updates as the case progresses.
