David Cohen is renowned for his legal acumen and distinguished by his rapport with clients, colleagues, district attorneys, and judges. He genuinely understands people, and that makes all the difference. Mr. Cohen rescued my father from a legal labyrinth, a surreal maze in which those without guid...ance remain lost. If you don’t know which way to turn, let David Cohen be your pathfinder.

In the beginning, the first attorney I saw said, “If I were you, there is only one attorney I would want to defend me, and that is David Cohen. If you’re lucky enough, he’ll take your case. I consider him to be among the best defense attorneys in New York, perhaps the very best.” So I met with Dav...id. After a thorough consultation, he took my case. One of the first things he said was “I am not the type of attorney who will take your money then throw you to the wolves. I will work for you until the very end.” He did just that, calling the DA’s office continually, making frequent visits, and sending them letters. He constantly kept the pressure on. One assistant DA said, “I’ve never seen a defense attorney take such a personal interest in a case in all the years I’ve practiced law.” David always answered any questions I asked. He is peerless and, I believe, really cares for me as a person. It was a long road, but in the end, charges were dismissed. The outcome was outstanding. David, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back.

David and his team were amazing through every step of the way. I really can't thank them enough. I had never been in trouble like this before and I was completely terrified. Luckily, I was referred to David through a friend of mine. David explained everything I needed to know in a way I could under...stand. He even got on multiple conference calls with my family and I to answer questions and talk about the path we were going to take. He went above and beyond, he treated me like an equal, and he actually cared about me and what was happening to me. He was not only concerned about my case but he was also concerned about my addiction problems in general. He helped me get the help I needed and I'm happy to say that its working! I have been drug free for 2 years now. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for David I would have had a much different outcome. David is very well connected and knew everyone in the courtroom. He seemed to have a good rapport with everyone he interacted with as well which only made things more comfortable for me. He is a great person and cares about his job. In the end, I did not have to go to jail. Instead, David got me into a rehab program and I will forever be grateful because now I have my life back. I highly highly highly recommend David and his team.

When we were looking for a lawyer we were under extreme stress because we wanted to hire the best one to represent our son so we searched google and really didn't know how to pick the right one out. Some charged less and others charged more but thankfully my retired psychologist friend had experience... in hiring a lawyer and told us to interview them and to follow our intuition and our son's intuition. Based on a recommendation by someone our son knew from a spiritual/support group he belonged to, he interviewed David J. Cohen and there was an instant rapport. He was caring, understanding, patient, timely, efficient and communicated well. He has upwards of twenty five years experience defending clients so he was familiar with numerous federal prosecutors and judges. He taught law at a local Long Island community college which told us he believes in what he does. Based on all this we hired David and when our son was assigned a conservative judge we watched him take a personal interest in our son to get to know him (one of his greatest traits) and build a case that lead to an unprecedentedly low sentence, numerous years (~10 - 12) shorter than what other people in the past received with similar charges and circumstances. We were extremely pleased with David's service and we highly recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense.
