our mission
Kotlar Cohen fights for people who’ve been wronged: hurt on the job, hurt in a car accident or truck accident, or shortchanged by an insurer that won’t pay what care is worth. Our attorneys pursue full compensation and full accountability, whether that means winning a workers’ compensation appeal, building a personal injury case toward trial, or taking a No Surprises Act dispute through independent dispute resolution. Essentially, we measure success by the outcome our clients take home, not the size of our caseload.
Who We Represent
Kotlar Cohen represents three distinct groups of clients, each facing a different fight:
- Car accident, truck accident, and other personal injury victims pursuing full medical treatment and full financial recovery, not a fast, low settlement.
- New Jersey employees pursuing workers’ compensation benefits after a workplace injury, including cases where an insurer has denied, delayed, or underpaid a valid claim.
- Healthcare providers pursuing underpaid, out-of-network claims through federal independent dispute resolution, guided by a No Surprises Act attorney.
If an insurer, an employer, or another party owes you or your practice more than you’ve been offered, that’s a fight we know how to have.
Board-Certified Trial Attorneys
Under the Supreme Court of New Jersey, our attorneys hold board certifications in Workers’ Compensation Law and Civil Trial Law, credentials fewer than 3% of New Jersey attorneys ever earn. The Supreme Court’s Board on Attorney Certification grants this status only to attorneys who demonstrate deep experience, pass a rigorous exam, and earn recognition from their peers in a specific area of practice.
For clients, that certification isn’t a formality. It means the attorney handling your car accident claim, truck accident case, or workers’ compensation appeal has been independently vetted by the state’s highest court in that exact area of law. Board certification is the state confirming what our case results already show.

Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a Civil Trial Law Advocate, partner Adam Kotlar has proven and tested his experience and expertise in the actual trials of litigated disputes, in addition to evaluating, handling, and resolving civil controversies prior to the initiation of suit and prior to trial.
Serving Clients Across New Jersey and Nationwide
Kotlar Cohen operates from two offices, in Mount Laurel and Hackensack, putting board-certified trial attorneys within reach of clients across South Jersey and North Jersey. Workers’ compensation and personal injury clients work directly with attorneys who know the local courts and insurance carriers that shape how New Jersey claims get resolved.
Our No Surprises Act arbitration practice extends well beyond New Jersey. Because federal independent dispute resolution follows the same process nationwide, healthcare providers anywhere in the country can work with our No Surprises Act attorneys to challenge underpaid, out-of-network claims.
Our Approach
For more than 27 years, Kotlar Cohen has represented clients in complex legal matters. We move fast when a case calls for aggression and stay patient when strategy calls for restraint. We built three practice areas around one principle: insurers and institutions should pay what they owe.
- Personal injury claims involving car accident, truck accident, and other negligence cases where full medical and wage recovery is on the line, handled through our personal injury practice.
- Workers’ compensation claims that have been denied, delayed, or underpaid for New Jersey employees hurt on the job, covered under our workers’ compensation
- No Surprises Act arbitration claims, where we serve as independent dispute resolution lawyers for healthcare providers fighting underpaid, out-of-network claims.
Our approach doesn’t change whether you’re a worker, an accident victim, or a healthcare provider. We build the strongest record possible, then fight for every dollar it supports.
Why Clients Choose Kotlar Cohen
Results are the clearest measure of an approach like this. Kotlar Cohen has recovered more than $1,424,350 for workers’ compensation clients alone, with millions more secured across the firm’s personal injury practice. Kotlar Cohen holds membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a distinction limited to attorneys who have won million-dollar verdicts or settlements, held by fewer than 1% of attorneys nationwide.
On the healthcare side, our attorneys built the NSA arbitration practice around the same discipline: careful claim review, aggressive negotiation, and enforcement when insurers miss a payment deadline after losing at arbitration. Our credentials are backed by outcomes, not the other way around.
