Awesome attorney
He got my felony reduced down to a misdemeanor. Was looking at a substantial amount of prison time. Got a couple months on house arrest instead, and also got to keep my job.

Professional, trustworthy, and did a great job
Attorney Cohen worked with the DA"s in two countries to prevent me from losing my license and prevented my insurance from skyrocketing. So glad I found him....and yes I learned my lesson. Thank you so much for a second chance!

Best OWI lawyer out there!
Barry assisted me in lessening my first OWI charges. He helped me to get out of the interlock inginition for my BAC level above the 0.15. There were things that he found for my case that I would have never have thought. I would recommend him to anyone who has been unlucky and has received and OWI.

A man of absolute integrity and puts his clients needs before his own
I had a complex situation where I had my license revoked in 3 states simultaneously! My lawyers in the other two states took a "wait-and-see" attitude, to see what would develop before giving me any guidance for how to proceed. Barry, on the other hand, offered some bold advice that took even the other two lawyers by surprise, but Barry's idea is the one thing that helped me get my license back NINE MONTHS EARLIER than if I had followed the other Lawyer's advice. The most amazing part of working with Barry was that he talked to me on the phone several times, AT LENGTH and never mentioned anything about charging me. When I asked him how much I owed, he told me don't worry about the $$ right now, not worried about that, just focus on winning my case. Barry is one of the few people out there who is in business because he enjoys helping people out. I'd strongly recommend his services to anyone who's fallen afoul of the law, particularly in cases involving moving violations!

Better than a Super Lawyer!
Barry Cohen is a superb lawyer and he goes that extra mile to dig deep into whatever is presented to him and his client. He is direct and upfront with his projections, his intents are logical and his pursuit for justice is second to none! I would and will "demand" that anybody who would need assistance to get help in a DUI "experience" contact Barry Cohen promptly. He is on my Christmas card list now! Thank you Barry!

A Phenomenal Attorney
Barry Cohen is, by all standards, exactly what a client hopes for in an attorney. His knowledge is second-to-none, and his ability to dig and uncover potential solutions to a charge are outstanding. If anyone were to ask me to refer them to an attorney for an OWI case, I would not even consider recommending anyone other than Mr. Cohen.

Thank You Barry!!!
I can only begin to express my appreciation and gratitude for Barry. He went out of his way to accomodate me and keep me informed throughout my case. His experience and knowledge make you feel comfortable and confident during a difficult time. In the courtroom he seemed to be well-liked and respected by both the Judge and the D.A. Barry is a great guy, an awesome attorney, and I wouldn't step foot in a courthouse without him.

Faced with a Life Changing DUI Charge
Get the best defense that is available when faced with a life changing DUI charge. This isn't the time to shop for and brag about bargains. This is an occasion that the potential reward far outweighs the risk of all the ramifications created from a DUI conviction. Attorney Cohen is the single source needed to unravel and set a legal strategy when faced with a daunting DUI charge. Attorney Cohen's tenacity combined with a sharp legal mind afforded me a second chance by allowing me to walk away from a DUI conviction. I will never drink and drive again thanks to Attorney Cohen.
