Excellent Traffic Court Services

Thanks to Mr. Cohen’s expertise and dedication, our case was resolved with the best possible outcome! His communication was prompt and consistent, and I always felt like our case was a priority. I highly recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable traffic attorney. He truly went a...bove and beyond for me and my son

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.

probation termination

Thanks Mr Cohen for going above and beyond for early termination for probation. After meeting with several Polk co. Attorneys I was told it would be impossible. Talking with Mr Cohen I was advised that he would fight and felt very confident that he would be very successful. After 6 years of probation... I am a free thanks to Mr Cohen. I would recommend Mr Cohen to anyone in need of legal representation
