Tessa Cohen, Associate Attorney

Washington Family Law Attorney

Tessa became an attorney to help people find solutions to their problems, and her commitment to excellent client service makes her a valuable asset to our team at Landerholm Family Law. She is passionate about helping clients navigate the legal system so that they can meet their goals and address their legal needs in an efficient and advantageous way. Tessa understands that being a great lawyer is all about achieving positive outcomes for clients.

Tessa takes great pride in being a resource for her clients and providing them with the wise legal counsel and essential information they need to make important decisions. She is committed to remaining accessible and to providing clients with as much stability and peace as possible during otherwise tumultuous times. She also finds helping parents create parenting plans to be one of the most rewarding aspects of her job.

While in law school, Tessa was a member of the Latino American Students Organization and is also fluent in Spanish. During her time as an attorney, she has also been named to the Washington Young Lawyers Division and has served as the Indian Law Section Liaison (an appointed leadership position).

Tessa is originally from Cincinnati and spend most of her life in Chicago and Milwaukee. Since relocating to the Pacific Northwest for law school, she has begun to call the Portland area home. She loves being so close to the Pacific Ocean and having access to the cascades, waterfalls, and unique artistic environment throughout Portland and Vancouver.
