Jonathan David Cohn

I had a ny case but am based in California- had too many points in my license & dui w/ certificate of release- which ny state issued but refused to honor- without exaggeration it took 3 years to get a copy of a piece of paper I already had… because of a 60 day issuance rule it voided my 2009 certific...ate- a new stamped certificate copy from the court wasn’t accepted- the date had to be in the box instead of a cover sheet even though it was authentic -one would need a Time Machine to accomplish it. But Jonathan helped with the point reduction and reissued certificate-for over 3 years but I have my CA license due to his diligence and hard work. I wish I had him as counsel for my original conviction… I would definitely advise a consult with him - even if you already have representation. Best choice out there.

Jonathan is an amazing attorney. I caught myself in an unfavorable situation some time back, and after a thorough review of lawyers in the area, John really stood out amongst his peers. He helped put my worries to ease, and believe me there were many. I was charged with a misdemeanor DWI following a ...breathalyzer refusal, in addition to 3 traffic infractions, 2 bearing points, and 1 pertaining to the refusal - which in it of itself is a serious offense. I met with John the day after my arrest, which he was nice enough to make himself available to me that day as it was during the weekend. He was extremely clear in explaining the charges I was facing and never once gave me a sense of false hope but rather assured me that he'd do everything in his power for my case. And that he did! Jonathan underpromised and overdelivered. He reduced my misdemeanor charge to a DWAI (Traffic infraction in the state of New York), FOUGHT and WON the refusal charge (which is rarely every done and comes with a very hefty fine and license revocation of 1 year if convicted) and also dismissed the other 2 traffic infractions helping me to avoid any additional points or fines. Following the resolution of my case, he helped answer any and all questions i may have had in regards to my license and amongst other things. His work was exceptional and i highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal expertise.

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.

i had my 3rd dwi with a refusal and 5 tickets. i took a plea and was happy with the offer. i was facing a revoked driver's license in nys for life.. john fought the refusal and won. he was straight and forward and answered any questions i had at any time of day or nite.. i am very please with the ou...tcome of this and would definitely recommend john to anyone.. he did what he said he sould do!!!

I was arrested for aggravated DWI and three traffic infractions in March 2016. After checking with another DWI (guy) law firm and being unsatisfied I was lucky enough to find Jonathon's name. I called and met with him the same day. I work in the educational field and was very worried about my reputa...tion with my students. Jonathon explained the charges to me and the possible consequences of my charges. Needless to say I was very worried. I was sent for an alcohol evaluation to see if I needed help for a problem. I didn't. Jonathon guided me through all the in's and out's of my journey through the courts and after a few appearances, much negotiation and a lot of work by Jonathon and his staff I was able to plead down to a DWAI. I believe a rarity from my initial charge. My three traffic infractions were also dismissed thanks to quick and careful work by Jonathon. Jon is a very serious, no nonsense attorney who represented me in the utmost professional manner. I knew what was happening at all times and communication with Jon was easy. I can't say enough about this man as this could have been a seriously life changing event and thanks to his work I made out as well as I possibly could. I feel very grateful to have had Jonathon represent me in court.
