Evan brings thirty years of industry experience to Metro Attorney Service Inc.  Evan started serving process in his second year of law school.  After class Evan would serve papers on home addresses at night all over the tri-state area.  Evan's demeanor and honesty was quickly noted by his superiors and as a result Evan was given tougher and more important assignments.  Once Evan had passed the bar exams in New York and Connecticut he was asked to run the same company he had worked for in Law School.  That same company flourished for the next seventeen years under Evan's careful guidance and leadership.  Evan personally supervised in excess of 200,000 separate work requests for   clients ranging in size from solo practitioners to every top tier law firm across the country.

Evan has brought to Metro Attorney Service Inc. an experienced workforce that is intimately familiar with all of the rules of law that effect the service of process.  Evan is considered an expert in the field of civil procedure.  His expertise has been recognized over the past twenty years with authorization by the New York State Continuing Legal Education board to issue CLE credit in the area of civil procedure and its relation to the service of process.  Mr. Cohan has also been called as an expert witness in multiple cases where a material issue of fact centered around the service of process.  Mr. Cohan has also been asked to act as an adviser and consultant to the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs in their ongoing investigation of the Process Service industry.   Evan is admitted to practice in New York and Connecticut in addition to being a long standing member of the National Association of Professional Process Servers, the New York State Professional Process Association and the American Bar Association.

In addition Mr. Cohan is an expert in applications pursuant to CPLR 3102(e) and 3119.  Over the past twenty-five years Mr. Cohan has successfully made hundreds of these applications.  When your out of state action has witnesses located within New York State, let Evan's expertise in this area save you time, money and aggravation.  In New York you must have local counsel make an application to our courts in order to gain permission to issue a subpoena which confers jurisdiction.  When the application is not made and an order is not signed the out of state subpoena you just served has no authority within New York, so if your witness wants to waste your time he can.  Don't waste your time, call me for a reasonable solution to your discovery issues.  

In addition to a general practice, Evan specializes in collection matters.  Whether you are a client or an agent, Evan will be happy to assist you in getting your money.
