Traffic Tickets, reckless driving charge

When I was looking for the best attorney to handle my reckless driving charge, which is considered as a criminal offense, I was very lucky to find Mr. Lee Cohen. He is a perfect gentleman and a perfect attorney who really know how to give the best legal advice and how to defend his client in court. A...nd he treated me as if I were one of his best personal friends. And I walked out of the court with a clean record, and I admire Lee Adam Cohen for that.

Reinstatement of probation

My probation officer violated me on some bogus violations. Once I met with a public defender and was told I was looking at my max prison time I decided to hire an attorney. Every attorney I talked to wanted 5 grand or more to take my case. My fiance contacted Mr. Cohen and explained my situation. Mr.... Cohen went through the allegations and spoke to the state. My biggest concern was on who my state attorney was Big forbid anybody get stuck with that state attorney. Anyways the state wasn't backing down on the prison time by any means. Mr. Cohen tried to get me into court earlier than my scheduled court date but due to the state not wanting to come to a decision nor compromise on anything unfortunately we weren't able to get into court earlier. The state offered me a little over a year of prison which I would of took cause I would of only did around 3-5 months and be home. But Mr. Cohen told the state that that was not going to happen due to the fact I technically really never violated my probation. So Mr. Cohen was able to get me reinstated on my probation when we finally made it to court. He did a lot of work and fought very hard in my defense and even offered his services throughout my whole probation period incase something like this was to happen again. I would RECOMMEND MR. COHEN TO ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE A STRONG ATTORNEY ON YOUR DEFENSE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN HIS CLIENTS ALONG WITH THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM. HE'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSE ATTORNEYS OUT OF POLK COUNTY WHO FIGHTS FOR YOU AND NOT AGAINST YOU UNLIKE SOME OF THESE PAID ATTORNEYS WHO ARE IN THE STATES POCKETS AND PAYROLL. THANK YOU MR. COHEN FOR BELIEVING IN ME AND DOING THE GREAT JOB THAT YOU DID. I WOULD DEFINITELY REHIRE MR. COHEN FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.

Excellent

I am from Tampa got myself into a bind, was referred to Mr. Cohen from a family friend. Mr. Cohen was very prompt with answering any questions I had ,which was a ton. He ended up getting me a very fair plea deal and I feel he went above and beyond with a Dmv dispute I had going on , and that worked o...ut in my favor also. He is a very professional attorney and knows the law. God forbid I ever have to retain another attorney for something but I wouldn't hesitate to retain Mr. Cohen again if needed.

Great Lawyer!!

I live in Volusia county and had a sentence modified by Attorney Lee Adam Cohen surprisingly fast!! When others told me that it might not be possible, he did! Now, I can spend more time with my family because of him. He sure knows his way in the court system and I would recommend him without any hesi...tation!! Thank You Mr Cohen for being so professional and efficient!! And, also affordable!! Case from Polk County
