Attorney

Mark represented my son recently and he was very professional and guided us every step of the way. Mark was always positive while at the same time letting us know what could take place at any given time. He was able to help my son get a fair chance and when things got a little rough he never gave up.... I would recommend Mark to everyone because during the whole time my son was in court he helped us have some hope. He was always on time and told us what we were facing before my son was in front of the judge. Being that it was a first time for us we were in great hands. Thank you Mark

Excellent attorney

I was referred to Mark by a trusted friend. I had total confidence in Mark's ability. Mark was very patient and willing to hear out my numerous questions as this was my first experience hiring a defense lawyer. He was concise and explained every detail. My son's case was dismissed and also got h...is records cleared and sealed that same day. In the end, Mark was absolutely amazing and I'd gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a Criminal Defense lawyer.

I should have written this review awhile ago but I've just been busy with work thanks to Mark. See, Mark helped me keep my job after getting jammed up in some trouble and he was able to keep my record clean. I was charged with a Class A Felony and I got a disorderly conduct which is awesome. What is... great about Mark is that he is easy to reach and is in constant communication with you. Also, he's a straight shooter. He will never sugar coat anything and tell you exactly what's going on. He will work with you and bounce ideas off of you to show you what your options are. I highly recommend Mark I. Cohen!!
