Jonathan David Cohn

I was possibly facing an aggravated DWI charge. I was hoping only for a lesser charge of DWI, but Johnathan was able to secure a DWAI plea for me. This was my first offense. He did not over-promise on what he could deliver, but delivered more than I could have hoped for. He helped me connect with ...a wonderful counselor and was there to answer questions at any time. He is thorough and makes sure of your understanding each step of the way. He makes you feel like you are his only client and he truly cares about you as an individual, not just a case. I would recommend him, hands down, to anyone who would need such services. I thank him for all he has done for me at a point in my life where I needed it the most.

I found Jonathan through Avvo after receiving a DWAI traffic ticket. I was very panicked since a clean driving record is essential for my line of work. Having this particular ticket on my record, though not a DWI, would have surely affected my career and earning potential. I started reading thro...ugh all the reviews on this site for the various dwi lawyers in my area and the majority of reviews that I read implied that DWAI’s could be reduced to a ‘reckless driving’ ticket as the best case scenario, which caused me to panic even more because that type of ticket would still cause me to lose my job. I was feeling more and more like my life was over... I started reading Jonathan’s reviews and they gave me some hope as a few of them hinted at their case outcomes being better than “reckless driving”. I called Jonathan to discuss my case and see what I could potentially expect if I were to hire him to defend me, and he immediately put me at ease. It is very apparent when speaking with him that he is a a true expert in this area of law, and I decided that day to hire him. His fee is not the cheapest that I saw advertised but honestly I was not willing to gamble. I needed to be sure that I could come out of this still viable to work in my field and make a living. Jonathan’s communication throughout the process was perfect, he never left me in the dark about anything and even had the courtesy to call and update me along the way, clarify case information and remind me about important dates. He set my expectations in the beginning that these types of cases can take longer, but that there is no advantage to settling faster if we did not get the result that I felt was acceptable. It was great knowing that he was invested in doing whatever it would take to make sure that my future would not be negatively affected. I should also add that I had a speeding ticket that occurred prior to the DWAI that I hired him for as well and he was able to settle both in the same time frame and get EVERYTHING— DWAI & Speeding ticket reduced to only a 3 point moving violation. Unbelievable. I was so shocked and grateful, that I cried. It felt like a second chance at life after one night’s indiscretions that I will always regret. If I hadn’t found Jonathan to represent me in this difficult time, I could have lost my livelihood and my life would be forever changed. I feel so fortunate. If you are reading this right now and feeling like I did—like everything that you have worked hard for is crumbling before your eyes— give Jonathan a call. You will be happy that you did.

Mr Cohn was recomended to me by a friend. After consulting with him in 2012 in regards to a dwi charge he had my full confidence with the case. He is the most knowledgable attorney in dwi law i have come across. Recently i hired him for a second time to vacate a prior conviction of dui. As he is a bu...sy capitol region lawyer, he never made me feel that my case wasn’t the most important case he was on. Mr Cohn went above and beyond my expectations in both cases. Very professional and has my full recomendation to anyone.

I recently found myself in a very difficult and stressful situation being charged with an aggravated DWI due my elevated BAC of .21. This is an extremely serious charge especially since I am a salesman and my livelihood relies on my ability to be on the road. After my initial consult with Jonathan ...I walked out of his office knowing he was the attorney I needed to hire. That said, I did go onto meet with several other attorneys in the Capital Region but kept comparing everyone to Jonathan. He presented me with an initial price for the retainer which was very fair and never asked for a penny more during the 7 months he represented me. Most importantly during those 7 months Jonathan was able to keep me on the road without any restrictions on my licence. He is always available and if he is in court he will call you back when he becomes free to answer whatever questions you may have. He will do whatever he can to get the best possible outcome for you and was able to plea my case down to a DWAI! On a personal level a DWI takes a toll on a person and Jonathan gets that. He helped guide me through the entire process and I am a better man today thanks to his help. Jonathan is without a doubt the attorney you should hire if you are facing a DWI. His firm has literally written the book on criminal defense for DWI in the state of NY and I feel comfortable in saying you won't find a better attorney. Jonathan is a man you can trust and will help put your mind at ease in this stressful time.
