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.

Posted by anonymous | July 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | White Collar Crime

The Absolute Best Lawyer and Staff in Orlando

Facing the hardest time in my life including two criminal cases in two separate counties both containing a list of fraud and drug related charges I saw no way out of this without jail time. This case brought media attention and stress beyond belief to my life and with this law firm I was instantly pu...t at ease the second I walked in and spoke to Mr. Cohen. I realized that yes, I had a long road ahead but it would be easier with them beside me! What an amazing staff he has in this office. They pick up calls on the first ring every single time, they have an amazing answering service after hours, and they answer every single question you have with ease. I was to take a second to point out RACHEL she is amazing and has taken the time to help me through so much and her organization skills are so precise. I have been represented by both Samantha and Sabrina in court and they have done absolute amazing jobs. Professional, courteous and Sabrina took the time to sit and talk with me on a personal level after the hearing and I couldn't be more grateful for her on that stressful day. The most important thing here is that both my cases that I was facing multiple felony counts of fraud and other drug charges I was able to obtain a pre trial diversion program in one county for and the other I was able to obtain 9 months of probation (early release) adjudication of guilt withheld. This firm was able to help me turn a mortifying and life altering terrible situation into one that can help me get my life onto a better path and I am forever grateful for them. They are truly the best!

Happy I chose the right lawyer to defend me!

Let me start by saying that I feel so blessed that I found Corey and he was able to represent me on such short notice. I called plenty of lawyers to see if they could help resolve my situation and all of them wanted very high rates and wouldn’t even tell me what they would try to do to help my case w...hich I really wanted to know considering the fact that if I didn’t hire an experienced lawyer that knew what they were doing and knew what advice to give me I could have ended up with a felony charge that would have ruined my life, white collar crime charges can not be sealed, and if I would have plead guilty to that charge 23 counts would have showed on my record for life no erasing. When I talked to other lawyers before I called Corey's office I felt like they were in it for the money or they didn’t have enough time to hear my story and they were trying to over charge me with no promise that they could even help my situation. When I called Corey's office I talked to his assistant Martina and she got all my information and gave me a time for when Corey would call me over the phone. When I talked to Corey about my case he listened to me and then he told me exactly what he would do if he were in my shoes and came up with a game plan of what he would do if I were to hire him as my lawyer something that NO other lawyer would tell me with out hiring them. When I got off the phone with Corey I felt relieved, excited, finally After weeks/hours of searching for the right lawyer I knew I couldn’t pass Corey up and had to make him my legal representation on this case. I hired him a couple of days later and days later my situation was resolved I didn’t have to plead guilty to a white collar crime charge and instead he was able to negotiate a lesser charge that I can seal later. I feel so much better I chose the correct representation because my prior representation couldn’t get me as good of a deal as he was able to. Wow how amazing I thought I was going to have to take my case to trial and risk possibly going to prison for 15 years if I was found guilty but instead Corey fixed everything with out me even having to worry about any prison time and now I know later down the road at least I can get my charge sealed and get the second chance that I know I deserve. I hope I never have to use his services for anything else, If I do I know that he is a talented lawyer with all the right connections who truly cares about his clients and I wont hesitate to give his office a ring I also want to say that he has an exceptional staff who doesn’t judge you they treat you like family. Starting with Martina the first staff member you see when you walk in to his office, she really has an awesome personality and showed me that she also cares about Corey’s clients and that she has a big heart!! If you need a lawyer that will work hard to get your case resolved call Corey Cohens office. I highly recommend Corey Cohens to not just my family and friends but to all of central Florida that needs legal representation.

"I endorse this lawyer. Corey is one of the smartest lawyers I know he spent time as a prosecutor and a public defender; Corey was very successful during both careers proving he can handle a giant caseload. 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."
