Bert W. Cohen

Bert Cohen is one of the best attorneys that I have ever had the privilege of meeting. He recently represented me in a DUI case, and his responsiveness, knowledge of the issue, and passion for providing a good result, are unparalleled by any other legal council that I've ever encountered. Because o...f the nature of my prior record and the evidence against me, it seemed nearly impossible that I could get a favorable outcome to my current DUI case. I was extremely worried that the charges would not be reduced, and I was preparing for the worst. Despite all of this, however, Bert Cohen delivered. The charges against me were reduced, and the overall punishment was very minor compared to what could have been. I'm very thankful for Mr. Cohen and his excellent level of service.

Bert assisted with a probation violation in the City of Marietta resulting in an arrest. Bert's relationships with the parties involved were key and allowed for a beneficial outcome, reducing time spent in jail significantly. Long story short, during our initial office consultation (before being ...hired), Bert learned that a meeting was in progress involving the probation officer on our case and he thought he could get results right away, without guaranteeing a specific result. I hired him and he literally ran out of the office, sped to the courthouse, and effectively negotiated on our behalf. Reasonably priced and got the job done quickly. Made a painful experience more bearable. Would certainly recommend in the City of Marietta.

I would highly recommend Mr. Cohen. He was very responsive to all our concerns and took the time to meet with us, when we had questions. He is extremely sharp and knowledgable regarding the law. He is very familiar with the Cobb County system including the judges and prosecutors. I feel very conf...ident that we got the best defense possible.

To anyone seeking a DUI/DWI or Defense Attorney Mr. Bert Cohen I would recommend him without a second thought. In February of 2013 I was pulled over for a traffic stop because of a tag light being out after pulling out of a bar and having a couple drinks. The police officer questioned me about being ...drunk, I told him I had a few drinks but felt fine. He told me to get out of my vehicle and performed a field sobriety test on me without asking me anything else. He then requested that I blow and because I felt I was not guilty and would not be over the legal limit I refused to blow hoping I would be given a blood test. The police officer arrested me, took me to jail without offering a blood test, and I was booked for DUI- refusal in the City of Kennesaw. Immediately upon getting out of jail I began to seek a good attorney, interviewing probably 4-5 over the phone and two in person. After speaking to Mr. Cohen, hearing about his years and experience, and his knowledge of the local court systems plus his favorable relationships with the local judges and prosecutors I felt like he could represent me best. Mr. Cohen went to my ALS hearing and saved my license by presenting a good defense and the police officer not showing up. He then arrived on time and early to my second hearing where he changed the venue to the county seeking a better outcome. On my third court date I had the date confused and Mr. Cohen ALWAYS called me before my court dates so he saved the day by reminding me of the correct date and as usual he was on time and put my case on call to be heard. Mr. Cohen spent the last several months getting me prepared by requesting I complete community service, a DUI course, and a psychological evaluation to help in my defense. He also studied the video from the police car, studied my medical history and found a back problem I had forgotten to mention to the police officer that would affect the field sobriety test, and went over other details to insure he knew everything he could before possibly going to trial. On my final court date Mr. Cohen arrived early, spoke with the state prosecutor who acted very arrogant and refused to make any kind of plea bargain or deal. The prosecutor wanted to delay the trial due to him being unprepared and Mr. Cohen said "No, we are prepared for trial now". The judge ordered we go to trial and Mr. Cohen requested the evidence be suppressed. The police officer was running late and due to him not being available the court granted my attorneys motion to dismiss my case. Mr. Cohen was timely, reliable, always calm, and truly I feel that he saved my career and my future through his decisive actions and constantly being on top of everything! One more thing, I have carried this weight and burden of a possible DUI on my shoulders for this entire year. I have been extremly nervous at every court appearance but Mr. Cohen would explain everything in detail that was going to happen and what had happened after every appearance. He also stayed very calm regardless of my nervousness which made me feel much better. I have a stack of cards for any friends that may get in trouble in the future and I can't thank Mr. Cohen enough. I would never call another attorney after this experience although of course I hope I never have to.
