Great Results

Mr. Cosby was very compassionate and understanding in a case where he represented a family member in. He knew the law inside and out which resulted in the best case scenario outcome. He understood how this incident had impacted my whole family and went out of his way to help us all in any way that ...he could. I would highly recommend Mr. Cosby to anyone seeking a knowledgable attorney who will show compassion and fight for you in the court room. Thanks to Mr. Cosby and all of his staff for their assistance.

Legal Services Rendered

We interviewed no less than ten attorneys to take over the Motions and sentencing phases of our son's case. After much research, in-depth meetings, and follow-up calls, we felt Mr. Cosby was the right choice. Through this very difficult endeavor whereas our son, due to his initial attorney's incompet...ence, was found guilty of second-degree murder in a case that was clearly self-defense, Mr. Cosby was our saving grace. He was patient, extremely dedicated, and very thorough. While his paralegal Mandy was typically available and consistently helpful, Mr. Cosby was always willing to speak with us and returned our calls when we wanted to speak with him directly, which was often. He answered every question we had, precisely explained all legal options, sentencing guidelines, possible results, and he provided specific instructions that we followed and which positively impacted our son's results. We greatly appreciated also that he didn't make promises or guarantees that would have promoted unreasonable expectations. His integrity prevented our family from suffering even greater devastation then we already experienced. That said, our son's sentence was only two years for the second degree murder charge and it's because of Mr. Cosby's tenacity and diligence in and outside of the courtroom. Mr. Cosby was always the calm during the storm. However, don't let his laid-back demeanor fool you.
