Cohen, Jayson & Foster is a criminal defense, civil litigation, complex business litigation and medical malpractice boutique law firm based in Tampa, FL. Leader and legendary criminal defense attorney Barry 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 the civil litigant, as well as those facing loss of their freedom. White-collar crimes, bank fraud, securities fraud, product and premises liability and wrongful death or catastrophic personal injury are just some of the areas of specialized litigation that the CJF team understands intimately.

Cohen, Jayson & Foster 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.
