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.

Top-Notch Attorney
I hope this review captures the depth in which my gratitude for Attorney Douglas T. Cohen and his legal team reaches… For those who don’t like all the wordiness… all you need to know is that I hired Doug to represent my son. He is an honest and skilled attorney who will fight hard for you and your...
Thank you so much for entrusting me with your son's case. It was an honor to help protect his rights and avoid a felony and prison sentence. It also was a pleasure to meet his entire family. I wish you all the best.

DUI Help
I could not recommend Attorney Cohen more. After discussing my case with him, he immediately recognized that the way the police handled my traffic stop was suspect. After spending time doing discovery for my case, Attorney Cohen felt that we would have a good chance at me maintaining my drivers licen...
I am glad we were able to challenge the police work in this case, help you keep your license and hopefully avoid a permanent conviction. We also are glad you, your family were safe and all is well.

I was extremely pleased with his support and guidance through out the process. We wor...
It was a pleasure representing you and helping you avoid a permanent felony record for a one-time mistake. I am also glad we able to help you retain your drivers license through all this.

Mr.
I did found Douglas Cohen online based on past top reviews. He helped me with a child abuse charge in Denver. I could have faced jail and probation and CPS/Human Services issues but He helped me through all of it and I ended up with a plea where my case will be dismissed within a year. Also, I can sp...
I am glad I was able to assist you in a positive outcome for you and your family and wish you all the very best! - DTC

DUI- Professional and knows his stuff!
I was arrested for a DUI. This was a first time DUI, but due to my BAC I was at risk of jail time and loss of license. Mr. Cohen was clear, kind and available every step of this long process. His dedication and deep knowledge of the law allowed me to not only reduce my sentence, but allowed me to ke...
What a nice review, thank you! Folks don't alway realize how many moving parts there are to a DUI case. There's examination of and potential legal challenges to the evidence of the initial stop, roadside tests, and chemical testing of your blood or breath. And there is a separate, parallel DMV license revocation procedure. And then there is the human side, the mitigation side. Building a plan to show the DA and Court you made a mistake and are not a bad person. You stuck with me on all these fronts and you were an awesome client to work with. I'm happy we got such a positive result for your DUI case in Jefferson County and for you personally.

"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."
