I would give Jeff Cohen a zero if I could. He told my son to plead guilty to a charge that was not true, instead of taking it to trial and proving my son innocent. He also told my son and I that nothing would show up on his record,which was a lie. My son has lost his job behind this because the DWAI... shows up on his record .My son is also unable to find employment because it will be on his record for 10 years.He made my son do what would make his job easy, without taking into consideration that my son is 21 years old and needs employment. The police officer wrote down whatever he wanted without proving any of it. My son gave blood to prove his innocence and Jeff Cohen did not try to get the blood test read. Initially he said that the police officer has no proof for his claim and pretended that he was going to get it dismissed . This is why I hired him. Then when I received the disposition, it said DWAI with alcohol. My son was not drinking alcohol , so why did he tell my son to plead guilty to that. Jeff Cohen pretty much ruined my son's life for the next 10 years, because that is how long the DWAI will appear on his record. Jeff Cohen could have sealed the unproven case, but I guess that was too much work for him. Now I see why he insisted that I zelle him the money and he refused to give me a receipt. He kept saying that he would email a receipt to me and he never did. I am now out of $4,500 and Jeff Cohen did not try to prove my son innocent nor did he seal my son's record. For anyone that wants to take a chance and use him as an attorney , have him put in writing, whatever he says that he is going to do, before you pay him. Jeff Cohen deceived us. I am also disturbed by him saying to me that my son cannot get a job because he never had one. I don't know where that came from and what made him think so lowly of my son without proof. I had to bring clarity to that remark because my son has been working non- stop from 14 years old to 21 years old. The past 6 months has been his first time without employment. He is also in college.

Exceptional Defense Attorney, Highly Recommended!

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Jeffrey D. Cohen in a complex weapons possession case. From the outset, Jeffrey D. Cohen demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, expertise, and commitment. Their deep understanding of criminal law and strategic approach were evident... in every interaction. Notably, Jeffrey D. Cohen was incredibly attentive and responsive, ensuring that I was well-informed and comfortable throughout the process. Their ability to navigate the legal system with such skill and confidence was truly impressive. The outcome of my case – a complete dismissal – speaks volumes about Jeffrey D. Cohen's capabilities as a defense attorney. I am immensely grateful for their dedication and hard work in achieving this result. I cannot overstate the peace of mind and relief I felt having such a competent professional on my side. For anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney, I cannot recommend Jeffrey D. Cohen highly enough. Their exceptional skills, combined with a genuine concern for their clients, make them a standout in their field!!

Excellent Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey Cohen on a recent legal matter and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the beginning, Jeff was responsive, professional, and compassionate. Jeff took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. He provided clear explanations o...f the legal process and kept me updated every step of the way. I never felt like I was in the dark or left wondering what was happening with my case. Jeff's expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. He was able to negotiate with attorneys to help me achieve a favorable outcome. I couldn't be happier with the result. Overall, I was extremely impressed with Jeff's professionalism and dedication to his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal services in New York.

The Best Lawyer!

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr.Cohen for his time and dedication. It didn't go unnoticed. He was a hired public defender for my cousin. whom isn't the easiest to deal with, But Mr.Cohen got it done! We all know most public defenders do not care much about your case, and would pretty muc...h get you to take any plea deal Just so your case would be over. Welp that's NOT the case with Mr.Cohen he is very dedicated and passionate for what he does. When he's speaking on behave of his client you can hear the sincerity and his voice. He Never left me out of the conversation. He always kept me informed about my cousins case. He always acknowledge to the courts that i was there for my cousin each and everytime I was there. This man took a personal day off and still answered My text while at a funeral. You honestly cant get anymore dedicated than that! If you're looking for a lawyer who's on your side and will help u fight a fair fight give this man a call. He's seriously the best at what he does. Thank you again Mr.Cohen. May God continue to bless you!
