Cohen Trial Law

Cohen, LLC is a boutique law firm in Denver specializing in commercial litigation, franchise law, bankruptcy & restructuring, business transactions, and civil litigation. I built their complete online presence from the ground up using Next.js 15, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4, creating a sophisticated, professional website that reflects their expertise and serves their clients effectively.

This comprehensive project included full site design and development, content structure for 5 practice areas, custom contact form with Formspree integration, responsive design across all devices, SEO optimization with metadata and sitemap, accessibility features including skip links and ARIA labels, and custom domain setup connecting their GoDaddy domain to Netlify hosting. I successfully coordinated feedback from multiple partners and staff members, implementing detailed content updates while maintaining consistent quality and meeting tight deadlines.

The site features a sophisticated dark theme that conveys professionalism and authority. The custom contact form integrates seamlessly with Formspree for reliable message delivery. Five distinct practice area pages provide detailed information about the firm's expertise. The responsive design ensures a perfect experience on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. Accessibility features including semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and skip navigation links make the site usable for all visitors.

Key challenges included managing multiple stakeholder feedback rounds, guiding the non-technical client through GoDaddy DNS setup, and pivoting from Netlify Forms to Formspree for better reliability. I implemented precise design requirements including logo sizing, centered layouts, and responsive behavior that maintains the sophisticated aesthetic across all screen sizes.

"James was amazing to work with. I wasn't sure where to start with our existing simple website, and he explained everything clearly. He quickly built us a website that is stunning, and we can't thank him enough. He went the extra mile to be sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!"

- Katelyn Bowles, Practice Manager at Cohen Trial Law

The result is a professional, polished website that effectively represents the firm's expertise and makes it easy for potential clients to learn about their services and get in touch. The modern tech stack ensures fast performance and easy maintenance, while the custom domain and Netlify hosting with automatic GitHub deployment give the client full control. The firm now has a strong online presence that matches their professional reputation.
