Jason D. Cohn

Founder and Partner

Leading with integrity and a commitment to client success.

Car enthusiast. Barbecue aficionado. Adventure seeker. Relatable. Off-roading enthusiast. Attorney.

25+ YEARS SERVING & SUPPORTING CALIFORNIANS

Born and raised in Orange County, Jason D. Cohn remained in Southern California to attend the prestigious Entrepreneur Program at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Marshall School of Business. While at USC, he was an active member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, where he formed a lasting friendship with fellow fraternity brother Saar Swartzon.

 

After graduating from USC in 1994, Jason chose to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a legal career. He attended Whittier Law School, staying in Los Angeles to be close to his late aunt as she battled brain cancer. As a law student, Jason excelled academically, regularly earning a place on the Dean’s List while serving on the Whittier Law Review and the Moot Court Honors Board. In 1997, he graduated cum laude and returned to Orange County to begin his legal career.

Jason initially practiced as a business litigator before transitioning to personal injury defense at a distinguished Newport Beach law firm. However, by 2003, he had grown frustrated with the way insurance companies treated injured individuals without legal representation. Determined to make a difference, he shifted his focus to representing injury victims and founded his own practice in his late father’s office.

Since then, Jason has represented and advocated for hundreds of clients in personal injury matters. He is admitted to practice in all California state courts, as well as the U.S. District Courts for most federal districts in California and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In addition to his legal practice, Jason has served as a temporary judge in the Los Angeles County court system, was an adjunct professor at Whittier Law School, and has been a guest alumni lecturer at USC and for the State Bar of California.

In 2008, Jason partnered with longtime friend and colleague Saar Swartzon to establish Cohn & Swartzon LLP, continuing his commitment to client advocacy and legal excellence.

CARRYING FORWARD A LEGACY OF ADVOCACY

In 2003, Jason Cohn experienced a profound personal loss when his father, a respected attorney, passed away. At the time, Jason had grown frustrated with how insurance companies treated individuals navigating personal injury claims without legal representation. Determined to make a difference, he transformed his grief into purpose—opening his own practice in his late father’s office and dedicating his career to representing the injured.

In 2008, Jason joined forces with his longtime friend and colleague, Saar Swartzon, to establish Cohn & Swartzon LLP, continuing a legacy of excellence in advocacy and client-focused representation.

Engaged Mr. Swartzon to handle the details of my accident. A car hit me while riding my bicycle. Referral came from my insurance agent who has known Saar for years. Communication with Saar and his team was timely. Expectations and fees were clearly stated. The negligent driver's insurance company proposed an unsatisfactory (tiny) settlement for pain and suffering. Saar took various actions and raised the settlement so my portion was 10x the original proposal, after his fees. I was pleased with the outcome. Other than me providing information and paperwork from medical providers, they did the work in handling the claims.

I was involved in a horrible car accident that was completely no fault of my own, and it has been an incredibly difficult and stressful experience. From the very beginning, Jason has been nothing short of exceptional. He has taken the time to walk me through every step of the process, answer all of my questions, and make sure I understand what is happening along the way. Most importantly, he has taken so much of the stress and worry off my shoulders during what has been an already overwhelming experience. I am incredibly grateful to have Jason in my corner. His professionalism, compassion, communication, and dedication have made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. I would absolutely recommend Jason to anyone who finds themselves in need of a personal injury attorney.

We had a great experience having Saar as our personal injury attorney. After being in a car collision that resulted in a total loss of the vehicle, we got in contact with Saar and his team. It took about 2 years for the settlement to come through, but it was well worth it. While that may seem like a long time, our lives moved on right after the accident, and it was easy to trust the rest in the legal team's hands. They even sent out an investigator when the dashcam on our car was unretrievable. They were communicative throughout the process, even to let us know that we had to wait and what we were waiting for. I appreciated that they fought hard to make sure that a favorable and just outcome would be had. Saar and Megan were great from the beginning to the end!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Cohn & Swartzon. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful throughout my entire personal injury case. They explained every step clearly, always kept me updated, and truly cared about my recovery — not just the case. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a difficult situation so much easier to handle. I always felt supported and confident knowing they were fighting for me. Thanks to Jason and his team including Anson for all their hard work, we achieved a great outcome that I’m very grateful for. If you ever need a personal injury attorney who genuinely cares and delivers results, I highly recommend them!
