Criminal Defense 40%

My experience began as a Law clerk for a top criminal defense attorney while in law school. After Law School I went to the Office of the Public Defender and then later went with the State Attorneys Office. I have used my experience on both sides to be able to now represent individuals and families throughout Florida. I handle all criminal cases, including DUI, Felonies, Violation of Probation, Theft Charges, Driving While License Suspended, Drug Charges, Battery, and many more.

My experience began as a Law clerk for a top criminal defense attorney while in law school. After Law School I went to the Office of the Public Defender and then later went with the State Attorneys Office. I have used my experience on both sides to be able to now represent individuals and families throughout Florida. I handle many domestic violence cases where we can get the families back into the home and have contact while the case is pending. We always push to get charges dismissed.

Our team of defense attorneys knows the criminal justice system from the inside out, and we can use that knowledge to build a strong defense for you against the drug charges you face.

Federal Crime 10%

When it comes to a Federal Charge I represent clients throughout the entire state of Florida. If you receive a letter that you are the target of an invesitgation it is important to hire an attorney as soon as possible to work on your case.

Amazing

I would like to say that Attorney Ms. Payne was an obsoletely amazing experience. She was amazing to deal with and very upfront and honest with everything and got the best outcome we could ever ask. I wouldn't know where we would be without the help of her and her assistant Ms. Alexis, which kept me... updated and answered all of my phone calls and text quickly.

Outstanding Attorney Who Truly Cares

Corey Cohen is an absolute lifesaver! He helped a close family member through a very difficult DUI case with compassion, confidence, and professionalism every step of the way. From the very first consultation, it was clear we were in good hands—Corey was honest, knowledgeable, and immediately put us ...at ease.

His time as a State attorney gave him the ability to know what the state attorney will think and try to do and when. He trained so many other attorneys who switched to private practice."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
