Attorney Seth Cohen Inducted Into Million Dollar Advocates Forum
Veteran attorney Seth Cohen, who is of counsel at Deuterman Law Group in Greensboro, has been certified as a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious association of trial lawyers.
Membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum is limited to attorneys who have obtained million dollar verdicts, awards or settlements for their clients. Fewer than 1 percent of U.S. attorneys are members.
In his senior role at DLG, Cohen represents clients in their labor and employment claims. He works closely with the rest of the DLG team to ensure that workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, VA Disability and personal injury clients receive the justice they deserve.
“For more than three decades, Seth has dedicated his career to fighting against discrimination and advocating for people whose civil rights and civil liberties have been violated or infringed,” said firm President Dan Deuterman. “His induction to the Million Dollar Advocates is another example of his strong client advocacy.”
Before joining DLG, Cohen was a partner for 25 years with Smith, James, Rowlett & Cohen in Greensboro. He continues to serve as general counsel of the ACLU of North Carolina and as an adjunct professor at the Wake Forest University School of Law.
The Atlanta native earned undergraduate degrees in religion and journalism from the University of Georgia, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude. Before attending law school, he worked as a newspaper reporter, most recently at the News & Record in Greensboro.
Cohen graduated in 1991 from the UNC School of Law with highest honors. He was a member of the law school’s chapter of the Order of the Coif, an honor society. He was admitted to the N.C. State Bar in 1991, and in 1997 he was admitted to the Bar of the U.S. Supreme Court.
After law school, Cohen clerked for Justice Henry E. Frye, who later became chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court.
Cohen is a member of North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) and the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA). He has been recognized by Super Lawyers, Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite, and Best Lawyers in America in Labor and Employment Law.
