I am the President and Chief Litigator at Peak Legal Services, LLC. I have practiced law for nearly 25 years, including more than 13 years as a felony prosecutor. I represent clients throughout Colorado and Wyoming, with offices in both states.
I specialize in criminal defense, defense of sex crimes, DUI and family law. Regarding criminal defense, I have vast experience with major felonies, including homicides, sexual offenses against children, sexual assault, child abuse and DUI cases. I focus on a client's particular needs and goals, and on advising clients early on whether they should focus their resources on plea bargaining or on going to trial based on the allegations and available defenses.
Regarding domestic relations, I have expertise in allocation of parental rights, parenting time and decision making, relocation and child support. Often crimnial allegatons, custody disputes and child protective sercices cases overlap. It's very important to have one attorney who is skilled in all three areas.
I provide vigorous, reasonable and individualized represenation to clients throughout the Front Range and Colorado.
Call me for a phone consulation. I am here to listen to and help you with your legal issues.

Great sex crime attorney
2019 I was arrested for internet luring of a child. I was involved in an internet sex sting and hired Douglas Cohen to represent me. At first meeting, Douglas gave it to me straight forward on what I was facing and what he brings to the table to help me. After I hired Douglas, he fired away at my cas...
thank you for trusting me and my firm with such a complex and high-stakes case. I also thank you for taking my guidance and following through with everything I asked of you and you committed to doing for yourself to achieve a positive outcome for the case and for your life moving forward. Best wishes to you!

My Story
I got in some trouble in WY for an allegation of sex assault of a minor for which there was a 5-year delay in the reporting of the case where the DA was extremely difficult to work with and was very intent on getting the maximum penalty which included a lengthy prison term. Doug did an excellent job ...
It's tough for clients who live in one state and get charged in another (in this case Colorado and Wyoming) to navigate the legal system, different sentencing and also probation rules. One state's system is stressful enough for clients. Two is overwhelming. Plus you had a sex offense charge. I know it took a while, but I am glad we hung in there together, fought the good fight and that I was able to get you back to Colorado with your family and no incarceration. You deserve to have a decent life and a future and I hope this helps gets you there.

Doug and his team were fantastic, and did a very good job handling my case. Doug not only helped me get through the whole process, but took the extra steps to make sure that outcome was something I was comfortable with. I was facing up to life in jail, and life supervision. I ended up with very littl...
thanks so much for hanging in there with me and working together to get the plea and sentence that was fair and allows you to move on with your life v being in prison for life.

Highly recommend
Doug is an amazing lawyer. I was falsely accused of sexual assault and he was able to get the case dropped through his hard work and great knowledge of the legal system. It was the worst and most terrifying thing I had ever gone through but Doug's professionalism and obvious competency gave me a lot ...
Thank you, Sir, for your kind words. I know how stressful these cases are for clients. I commend you for hanging in with me, as we sorted through the evidentiary and legal issues. It was an honor to represent you. You are now free to work on improving your GD guitar jams.

Thoughtful, Thorough and Steady
If you ever find yourself in the scenario of being contacted by law enforcement and needing to defend yourself against alleged sex crimes, do yourself an enormous favor and call Doug Cohen at Peak Legal. The sooner you call, the better, but with the level of competence I saw, I would never count Doug...
thanks so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you to address the inaccurate and potentially-life altering allegations made against you. I am glad we were able to sort it out and resolve your matter without any negative record or consequences against you. You were great to work with as well.

"I endorse this lawyer. I spent several years working with Doug at the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office and consider him to have been my mentor in how to prepare and try felony cases. Doug is exceptionally thorough and detailed oriented. Someone hiring Doug can be certain that he will take the time to consider their case and scrutinize all angles of it. He is also very strategic and from the inception of a case considers the different pieces of evidence or lack thereof and what follow up is needed. Doug is a straight-shooter and will provide clients with a very candid assessment of their case, all the while being very considerate and invested in the well-being of those affected. I would highly recommend Doug."
"I am a practicing criminal defense attorney and have known attorney Cohen for 20 years. We have consulted together regarding case issues. We both have represented clients in major felony sex assault cases and often discuss trial and plea strategies to achieve the best outcome in what many attorneys consider the most difficult crimial law cases. Doug is one of the most detailed and result oriented attorney I know. His extensive prior experience as a DA and attorney for internal corporate investigations makes him a go to attorney when your freedom or your companies reputation is at stake. Doug's experience in and out of the courtroom will make a difference in the outcome of your case."
