Jeff Cohen – Lawyer/Writer

One of the child stars in the film The Goonies is Jeff Cohen. He played his role well but he did not choose to pursue acting in his adult life. Child actors sometimes stray away from acting because of a shift in interest, or the eagerness to perform on camera has faded away. Jeff decided to shift to a different professional career, so he left Hollywood and became a lawyer. Indeed, Jeff’s life has changed, and his decision to pursue a career as a lawyer has surely given him many options to secure his future.

He attended the University of California, Berkeley to get his degree and eventually became an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles. He also founded his own law firm Cohen & Gardner back in 2002 and writes for The Huffington Post. He is still working as a lawyer and a writer at the same time.
