Divorce
Child Support
Child Custody and Visitation
Our experienced team handles all facets of family law, including divorce, child custody, alimony, and the equitable distribution of assets and debts. While our priority is to resolve disputes through negotiation and collaboration, we are fully prepared to litigate when necessary.
Guardianship
We also counsel clients on best practices for IRAs and qualified and non-qualified retirement accounts, including the designation of beneficiaries. Our attorneys have experience advising and creating charitable organizations, including obtaining 501c3 designations and representing clients in the disposition of court awards and litigation settlements.
Spousal Support
Child Abuse
Our attorneys are also familiar with the criminal defense process and municipal court issues including assault, bias crimes, burglary, theft, juvenile law, possession and distribution of drugs or drug paraphernalia, possession of weapons, sexual offenses, child abuse or neglect, domestic violent expungements, driverâ€™s license suspensions, as well as DWI/DUI.

Criminal Defense
Universities and colleges expect students to adhere to certain rules and regulations guiding behavior, both in on- and off-campus housing; when rules on drug and alcohol use, noise ordinances, hazing, theft, use of fake I.D.s, destruction of community or school property; or residential conduct are broken, the institution is likely to hand down severe penalties. Arrests and criminal charges create additional complexities because university violations can result even if charges that are dismissed, or students may face parallel investigations and punishments. Cohen Seglias attorneys draw on their experience in criminal law, as well as with student code violations, to advise individuals facing such charges. When handling these issues, we strive to minimize the disruption to the studentâ€™s education and to obtain an outcome that protects his/her standing at the university.
DUI/DWI
Wrongful Death
Sex Crimes
Accusations of sexual assault brought by a university or college will involve a schoolâ€™s Title IX policies, but may also involve a criminal investigation, and so any Title IX defense must also involve protecting against possible criminal charges, conviction, registration as a sex offender and jail time. Being found responsible for a Title IX violation can have devastating academic and professional consequences, including suspension, expulsion, and difficulty with transfers to other schools, graduate school, and employment.
Fraud
Cohen Segliasâ€™ False Claims Act & Whistleblowers Group represents whistleblowers, helping them to file suits under federal and state False Claims Acts, state insurance fraud programs, and other whistleblower programs. We guide our whistleblower clients through the procedural steps necessary to help the government identify and stop fraud, as well as to maximize the whistleblowerâ€™s own reward for doing so. Cohen Seglias lawyers also assist clients when they are the targets of government investigations under the False Claims Act or other whistleblower statutes.
Burglary
Theft
Embezzlement
Individuals and corporations reside at a dangerous precipice between compliance and non-compliance, and as the government increases its focus on misleading, unethical, or illegal behaviors, staying compliant can be a daunting challenge. Our White Collar Defense & Internal Investigations Group, led by former federal and state prosecutors, conducts impartial investigations and defends against allegations of fraud, embezzlement, misuse of government funds and other violations.
Assault
Murder
Juvenile Crimes

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Our approach includes developing initiatives to recruit, support, and retain attorneys and professional staff from diverse backgrounds. The DEI committee is charged with evaluating the firmâ€™s recruiting, onboarding, and training programs to foster the participation of more diverse talent. As part of our initiative, we have partnered with the Philadelphia Diversity Law Group, which supports and encourages the recruitment, retention, advancement, and promotion of lawyers of diverse and/or disadvantaged backgrounds by law firms and corporate law departments.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In addition to providing day-to-day business advice, we create the commercial contracts and documentation necessary for conducting business. We assist startup businesses in the selection of the entity or corporate structure and draft all formation and company governance documents. For established businesses, we advise on company finance and refinance matters and draft agreements relating to the purchase, sale, and financing of both goods and real estate. Our attorneys help companies grow and reach their full potential by structuring mutually beneficial joint venture agreements and providing counsel to both buyers and sellers in mergers and acquisitions. When the future of a business is uncertain, we are capable of quickly and ably addressing issues of succession planning, changes in ownership, sale of the business, exit strategies and, if necessary, business divorces or dissolutions.
Business Disputes
Conscientious and pragmatic, our commercial litigation attorneys counsel clients on all manners of business disputes that can disrupt or upend a business. Whether it is for a breach of contract, a corporate dispute or payment collection, we devise creative and cost-effective solutions that enable businesses to remain productive and profitable.

Real Estate Litigation
Evan Rassman, partner in the firmâ€™s Real Estate Group and office managing partner of the firmâ€™s Delaware location, said, â€œIâ€™m excited about the expansion of the firmâ€™s real estate group in DC.

He brings a depth of knowledge related to title and survey and will be a great partner to many of our commercial real estate clients.â€

Starting with the development and design process, through construction, and culminating with certification, close-out and marketing, our attorneys ensure that our clientsâ€™ interests are protected throughout a project’s life-time.

Cohen Seglias’ Real Estate Group has an established deal-making history representing all parties in various real estate transactions, from owners and developers to lenders, buyers, and sellers. With over 150 years of combined experience structuring and closing deals, we draft documents and negotiate real estate transactions, all while providing counsel on numerous issues affecting the outcome of each matter or project.
Eminent Domain
Real estate projectsâ€”from mixed-use commercial buildings to condominiumsâ€”require navigating complicated local and state permitting processes and regulations. Our attorneys understand the challenges that come with applying for special use permits, securing land use and zoning variances, and appearing before local zoning and planning boards or commissions. We help developers and property owners prepare and submit applications for zoning and conditional use variances, comply with local environmental and safety regulations, obtain approvals from historical societies, and negotiate disputes arising from eminent domain claims.
