About Brian J.
Brian J. Cohan is a lawyer whose career spans more than four decades. He began his academic path at the University of Arizona, graduating in 1974. He later earned a J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 1981, where his studies concentrated on trusts and estates, taxation and legal proceedings. Those areas would color so much of his subsequent practice.
After law school, Cohan built a profession anchored in Illinois. He is admitted to practice within the state and maintains the admissions required to appear before the Seventh Circuit and the Federal Circuit. Those federal admissions point out knowledge handling matters that move past state trial courts, including appellate work and federally governed disputes.
Over the years Cohan has worked on matters that reflect the trio of topics he studied at DePaul. He has treated property planning and trust management in addition to tax-associated problems. He has also been concerned in litigation springing up from the ones fields. His background gives him a grounding in each transactional work and court procedures.
