About Us: Six decades ago, two enterprising lawyers, Herbert L. Cohen and Austin K. Wolf, joined forces, creating a law firm that has grown steadily to become Cohen and Wolf, a full-service firm of about 50 lawyers with four offices in Fairfield and New Haven counties. That growth is the best evidence of our success as experienced, savvy, dedicated lawyers who get the job done.
