Anyone requesting information on my practice will find valuable information on the Facebook page for the "Law Office of Stephen B. Cohen" or an interested person may access my Website: <www.stephenbcohenlaw.com>

Practicing for more that 50 years, my practice is limited to Civil matters, including but not limited to Residential and Commercial Real Estate, Construction, Condominium Law, Estate Planning and Probate, General Litigation, and Plaintiff and Defense Personal Injury matters.

I am an experienced Mediator and Arbitrator, qualified for Court appointment as a Mediator in Indiana, certified for Mediation in Complex cases for the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County and the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. I am an Arbitrator for the Cook County Law Division Commercial case Pilot Program and have been involved in Arbitration matters as an attorney or Arbitrator for most of the 50 years I have been a member of the Bar in Illinois and Indiana.

I have also acted as a Mediator for United States Track and Field and have Arbitrated disputes for the United States Cycling Federation. In addition, I have acted as attorney for the United States International Speedskating Association (USISA), performed 501 (C) (3) legal services for numerous sports charitable organizations and am currently the Treasurer and a Director for the USISA Charitable Fund.

I strongly believe in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and belong to several Legal Committees that promote the amicable solution to legal problems. As the past Chair Person of the Illinois State Bar Association ADR Committee and past Chair of the Indiana State Bar Association ADR Committee, I have devoted a significant amount of time to improving the quality of ADR services available to the public. I look forward to continuing to provide quality legal services to the communities in Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois.
