Daniel Cohen
Daniel Cohen, Esq., the Founding Partner of Consumer Attorneys, began his legal career as a New York litigator in consumer protection law. Under his leadership, Consumer Attorneys has grown into a BBB A+ rated national powerhouse with over $100 million recovered for clients and recognition as a highly impactful consumer reporting law firm.
With a primary focus on FCRA-related litigation, Dan maintains an active client roster, while also overseeing the firm’s strategic branding, marketing, client intake, and business development efforts. He is also an experienced class-action attorney, a member of both the National Association of Consumer Advocates and the National Consumer Law Center, and a regular contributor to national media stories seeking legal insight on consumer protection issues. Dan holds a degree in Humanities from Thomas Edison State College and a JD from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. He is licensed to practice in New York and Arizona.
Dan is also incredibly proud to have harnessed personal experience and legal fortitude to become an outsized champion of disability rights in the workplace, the digital space, and beyond. In particular, Dan’s focus has been on advancing digital accessibility for low and no-vision consumers navigating an e-commerce industry that largely ignores their needs and rights.
When he isn’t busy advancing consumer and employee protections, Dan exercises his business acumen through the creation and expansion of other legal-adjacent tech brands, each of which experienced extraordinary growth under his vision.

Practice Areas
Our experienced credit report error attorneys help you fight back when you lose out on opportunities due to inaccurate, misleading, or false information in a credit report or other consumer report. This includes common mistakes like clerical errors, mixed credit reports, false deceased designations, and reporting old information (like a bankruptcy). Credit reporting errors lead to things like being denied a mortgage, refinancing, personal loan, or car loan; losing out on a job, apartment, or vacation rental; being rejected for insurance, lines of credit, or store cards; or being barred from getting the best interest rates and loan terms.

Our experienced background check error attorneys help you fight back when you lose out on opportunities due to inaccurate, misleading, or false information in a background check report or tenant screening report. This includes things like false criminal information, misreporting the classification of charges, duplicate criminal entries, failing to indicate dropped charges, and reporting expunged/sealed convictions. Background check errors lead to things like being rejected as a new hire, denied a promotion, blocked from a security clearance, fired from a current job, or denied rental opportunities. They're a problem in the ride-share, store shopper, and personal shopper industries. See more
Our experienced identity theft attorneys help you fight back against the wide variety of consumer reporting mistakes that happen following identity theft. While you may be able to pursue criminal charges against identity thieves, you are frequently left without options for cleaning up your financial accounts and credit reports. If you’ve filed notices, disputed unauthorized activity, and challenged false loans and fraudulent accounts, but financial institutions and credit bureaus keep including wrongful data in your consumer reports, there are laws that protect you. Some legal options are time-sensitive, so it is important to act quickly to enforce your rights. See more
Our experienced debt collection harassment attorneys help you fight back against debt collectors and debt collection agencies who (1) aggressively pursue you for payments on personal, medical, or household debts based on misleading, inaccurate, or false information, (2) pursue you for debts in a manner that is in direct defiance of the clearly established debt collection laws, (3) attempt to collect debts on medical bills arising out of covered workers' compensation or Medicaid claims, or (4) use intimidation tactics like falsely implying that a debt must be paid by you immediately, in contradiction to the facts and the law.

Our experienced employment discrimination attorneys help you fight back against illegal treatment at your workplace. Employment discrimination is targeting or preferring employees based on their status as a member of a protected group (or “class”) rather than their work performance, talent, or experience. Protected classes include categories such as age, race, sex, gender, disability, marital status, military status (including veteran status), pregnancy, national origin or ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. Employment discrimination can be direct (targeted actions or preferences) or indirect (policies with an unfair impact on one class). Knowing what counts as discrimination involves a nuanced factual and legal analysis. See more
Our experienced labor and employment dispute attorneys help you fight back against workplace exploitation and disputes that arise out of your rights as an employee. This includes employee abuses such as unpaid or underpaid minimum wages, failing to pay overtime, forcing employees to work in unsafe conditions, refusing meal or rest breaks, ignoring workplace health and safety standards, unfairly denying family and medical leave, and more. While exploitative and illegal labor practices occur in every industry, some of the highest incidences of overtime and minimum wage disputes occur in food service, retail, home care, janitorial services, and construction.
