I know Attorney Cohen. I can tell you that he is the reputation, knowledge and experience to make a meaningful difference to the life of the citizen among us who has been accused of a crime. Most of all, he has guts. He doesn't shrink away. He is professionally aggressive and a good person on top of that. Give him a call.
