Trial attorneys Barry A. Cohen, Todd Foster and Stephen L. Romine have joined forces to form a criminal defense, civil litigation, complex business litigation and medical malpractice boutique law firm based in Tampa, FL.
Leader and legendary civil litigation attorney Barry A. Cohen, has sought to build a team to hold accountable the multinational corporations, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, HMOs, hospitals and government agencies who use their economic strength to abuse or wrongfully bully the economically weak. Mr. Cohen's renowned creativity, resourcefulness, tenacity and skillful litigation has proven to be equally effective in protecting both, the civil litigant, as well as those facing loss of their freedom.
Mr. Foster calls on his years of service with the FBI and his exceptional trial skills to effectively dispatch white-collar crimes, bank and securities fraud matters. He heads up the white-collar criminal defense unit at CFR and works with a team of professionals that toil relentlessly to resolve the matters at hand.
Mr. Romine has established himself where it matters most, in the courtroom, before a judge and jury. Steve is a Florida Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, a certification bestowed upon less than 1% of active attorneys.
The Cohen, Foster & Romine team also specializes in other legal arenas including: product and premises liability, wrongful death, and catastrophic personal injuries. CFR represents its clients by gathering the most experienced and knowledgeable attorneys and staff. A major theme of our practice is "Information is Power". We are not satisfied with reliance on the minimum traditional procedures for obtaining information permitted in the rules of civil and criminal procedure.
Barry Cohen’s experience as a lawyer in the federal criminal system, where there are no depositions, no list of witnesses provided to a defendant, have compelled him to learn a highly creative method of investigation and fact-finding; techniques he shares with the firm’s litigation team. Now, that creative and tenacious process that has proven to be so effective in the criminal field has been brought into the civil arena.
