Jonathan David Cohn

I can say that Johnathan gave me a chance at a second life. Gave me hope. I've made poor decisions in the past and lost my license for over 10 years from 3 DWIs in NY. Took awhile but I got sober made some life changes and reached out to Johnathan for help. I was hopeless in ever driving again. I was... actually at a lifetime ban I learned. Johnathan accepted my case and earned every pennies. Johnathan went above and beyond for my situation. Was there to talk me off the bridge when thinks weren't going my way. But he fought for me in each situation. Today I hold a valid PA driver's license and can put all that behind me and advance my career and improve quality of life that much more. I will forever me grateful to Johnathan. God bless ya man. And I will treat you to that steak dinner when I come out that way ! I highly recommend Johnathan if your in a situation. Worth every dollar !

I got arrested for a DWI last February. I refused all tests as this would have been my 2nd DWI. I was referred to Jon from a friend, and I am so glad that I chose him to represent me. I was supposed to lose my license for 18 months due to the refusal, but Jon was able to find a previous case related ...to mine which won my DMV Hearing. It is rare for one to win that hearing. I never lost my license and I never had to pay any fees to DMV. He is also got my full DWI charge reduced to a reckless driving and it was only about $150 fine. There was video on my arrest so we wouldn't have won the trial, and he advised me of this, but he let it be my decision whether we went to trial and he advised if we did he would give it his all. I never had to worry about his advise I trusted him 100%, He is very knowledgeable and honest, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

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 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.

I used Jonathan for a 2nd DWI I had received within a 6 year period. There was a good chance I was looking at a felony charge and losing my license for a very long time. Jonathan was able to keep the charge to a misdemeanor, he was affordable, and he truly cared about my well being in terms of if I... needed help with alcohol counseling. He stayed in touch with me throughout the entire year long process of getting my license back, the interlock system, the classes i had to attend, etc. Bottom line, Jonathan was the best lawyer I've ever worked with and I would recommend anyone with a DWI to call Jonathan now!
