Cohen and Wolf Nurtures Female Trial Lawyers,  

Connecticut Law Tribune

Cohen and Wolf is praised as a supportive environment for female trial lawyers in a special report on Women in the Law that was published in the June 16th issue of the Connecticut Law Tribune.  Robert B. Adelman, of Bridgeport's Adelman, Hirsch & Newman, who began his career at Cohen and Wolf, P.C., cites Cohen and Wolf's litigation department chair, Stewart Edelstein, "as recognizing, long ago, that women could become great trial lawyers."

If a young mother needed to see her children off to school and arrive a little later to work, or needed to take maternity leave, Adelman said the accommodation was made. "They'd work at a different time and a different place and [the quality of their work] more than offset what the firm had to accommodate in the more rigid framework," said Adelman. "Stewart was someone who saw this early on, and I think the Cohen and Wolf litigation department is almost 50-50, and that's not true in all firms." After counting, Edelstein put the actual number at about 40 percent.
