Douglas Todd Cohen

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 ...of solace through it all. He is very personable and easy to talk to which was extremely helpful in that situation. I highly recommend Doug to anyone going through something like this.

What an incredible attorney! When I first met Doug I had no clue what to expect. I had just received my second DUI and thought for sure I was going to get the book thrown at me. Doug listened, took action and was nothing short of incredible. This man went above and beyond to learn my case, investigat...e and take action. The concierge service I received from Doug was more than reassuring throughout every step. Doug fought hard, never gave up and got my 2nd DUI dropped to a wet reckless. This man knows the law and is brilliant in the court room. He is definitely the attorney you want in your corner.

Doug Cohen went above and beyond in representing me in my DUI case. His paralegal and him were always available for any questions or concern I had. Doug was very upfront with everything and I appreciated it. Since day one he guided me on what I had to get done before my court date. With his expertise... and defending my case, I was able to get a short probation sentence and avoid jail time with in- home detention. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good attorney.

When threats from a sex assault case dating back to the 90’s began to emerge and threatened to ruin my life and life of my family, we scoured the internet looking for a highly competent, highly rated attorney, with a stellar track record. We chose Doug Cohen and never looked back. Doug always mad...e himself available to answer every question that came our way during this process. I initially faced a potentially lengthy prison and jail sentence and life-long sex offender registration but thanks to Doug’s fierce, and just, advocacy, legal expertise, and skilled negotiation with the DA, I served less than a month in jail and my charges will eventually be dropped to a misdemeanor without being maimed a lifetime sex offender. In addition to being an exceptional attorney, Doug went above and beyond and even helped me secure work after I had no choice but to resign from my previous position. So yes, he’s not only a first-rate attorney, but he cares about his clients. If you are looking for highly competent and committed attorney, I encourage you to retain Mr. Cohen.

I had no idea of the impact that being arrested for a DUI charge would have on my life. Peak Legal Services was recommended to me from a friend in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and thankfully I called and discussed the events of my DUI with Doug Cohen within a week of the arrest. He immediately w...ent to work on my case and we worked on mitigation. I had so many questions about what to do and trying to understand the legal process and making sure that I was fulfilling the requirements of my jail bond, pre-trial services, DMV circumstances, etc. Doug was a godsend and make my circumstances very clear to me and helped me understand all of the things that I needed to do, in order to remain in good standing with the courts and pre-trial services. Just understanding all of the moving parts was overwhelming, and Doug not only helped me understand everything that was going on, but also gave me constant guidance and direction of all of the work that I could do to help my case result in the best possible outcome. In my case, I had a very high BAC, was passed out in my car on the road. Due to the overwhelming evidence against my case, we decided that it would not be wise to try to fight the case, but rather to mitigate the case and attempt to seek a plea deal with the district attorney's office and if that didn't work, present a strong amount of evidence to the judge to show that since the arrest, that I was doing all of the "right things" to make up for my terrible mistake of drinking and driving. Under Doug's guidance, I took several actions that I would have not otherwise known to take that helped contribute to the positive outcome of my case, such as; attending a MADD victim impact panel, completing level 2 education/therapy courses, getting letters of character reference from friends, family, and coworkers, completing community service ahead of time (which the judge counted towards sentencing), and much more. Additionally, we were able to get continuations of the court date, that allowed me to complete treatment for substance abuse and allowed me the necessary time to complete all of the mitigating actions mentioned above, while working a full time job. The result of my case was a positive one. Considering my high BAC, I was very satisfied with the overall sentencing and feel like I had the best outcome possible with the circumstances surrounding my case. Without Doug and his team at Peak Legal Services, I don't know what I would have done and I am incredibly grateful for Doug and his team, and would highly recommend them to anyone who has to go through something similar.
