Douglas Todd Cohen

I was facing a felony and hired Mr. Cohen to represent me. The entire case got dismissed without an arrest ever being made but the criminal records still remained. These records were extremely harmful to me, my reputation, my children, and my wife's career because of the nature of the accusations. Mr.... Cohen was positive and optimistic that we could get the records sealed because of the dismissal. He immediately went to work preparing the motion to seal the records after the case got dismissed. He gathered and prepared everything he could think of and then submitted the motion. The initial motion got denied without him being able to argue the reasons in favor of sealing my records. The DA's office cited some cases and statutes about the sealing of records and gave their arguments about why the records should not be sealed. Mr. Cohen went to work again and drafted another motion that explained in great detail the reasons why the records should have been sealed. He spent a lot of time and energy into getting my family and friends to write character references about me. He compiled all of this information into an extremely well drafted letter to the court, which included arguing that the cases and statutes the DA's office cited were not relevant to my situation and gave examples of cases and rulings more relevant to my situation. The DA's office again protested the motion to reconsider our motion to seal, but because of his argument the request was granted and all records were sealed. Mr. Cohen went above and beyond my expectations during this situation and I HIGHLY recommend using him for any situation that he will handle. His knowledge of the law and how the legal system works is incredible. You will not be better represented if you should choose to hire Mr. Cohen or anyone at his office. Thank you Mr. Cohen for everything. I really appreciate everything you did for me and my family.

I hired Doug Cohen to defend me for a DUI. He immediately made himself available for my questions even though it happened to be a Sunday. He provided me with a plan to start building my case and walked me through what I could expect through the different stages of the process. A DUI is taken very ser...iously in Colorado and having someone like Doug take the time to help me navigate the way the system works was a huge stress reliever in a very stressful process. There is a ton of paper work to dig through to try to understand and doing this without the help of a lawyer would have certainly led to me making mistakes and not having the best chance for a positive outcome. I immediately started group classes, gathered character letters from friends and family, started voluntary urinary analysis 3 times a week, did community service at a thrift store, and attended a victim impact panel. Doug helped me find the places to do these things which is actually a bit harder than you may expect. Our plan was to do as much as would could before court to help get a favorable view from the judge. It was tedious and hard but it was ultimately very helpful. He made sure to call me once a week or so to be sure I was staying on top of everything and see what questions I may have. This was very much appreciated. I was pulled over for running a red light at what is a major Denver intersection. My 71 year old mother who was visiting from out of town was in the front seat. Doug went to the scene a few days later and saw there was a halo camera above the intersection that would have captured this alleged running of a red light. He worked to get this footage and the footage from the officer's body cam. It took quite a while and many times of being "no, the footage doesn't exist." Doug persisted and eventually we received only the body cam footage. This footage showed that I was clearly through the light while it was still yellow which is why I'm guessing the intersection halo cam never triggered and took video. There was also an issue with my breathalyzer test not starting at zero which Doug found. He was able to get a copy of this as well which we used in court as part of our argument. I would have had no idea how to get either of these key pieces of evidence if I hadn't hired a lawyer. A third part of our argument was the site where I took my roadside exam. Doug noticed that the sidewalk was uneven and a tree root was pushing up parts of the sidewalk. We had pictures of this to show the judge which Doug went and took. There is a very strict procedure and order in which a roadside must be administered. Doug carefully watched the video of mine and the way the officer administered this and crossed referenced this with the letter of the law as laid out in the written state law. He pointed out several inconsistencies with the actual written law and what the officer did. He laid this all out very clearly in court for the judge to analyze. Those 4 different items were the crux of our argument even though there were also a handful of other pieces to his argument. A poor place for me to do roadsides, a breathalyzer not starting at zero, inconsistencies with the way the roadside was administered, and most importantly, no legal reason for a stop. Doug clearly broke down my stop with 8x10 still images of the body cam. Each were 1 second apart showing me approach and go through the intersection. The last 2 were the most important as they showed me through the light with it still being yellow. Case dismissed! It was impressive to watch this man at his craft. He was prepared, respectful, and damn smart. Watching him cross examine the officer who pulled me over is honestly one of the great joys of my life. We are so vulnerable to law enforcement and having the opportunity to see the playing field leveled was incredibly vindicating. The man was squirming on the stand and very uncomfortable to have his immense power being questioned. Great job Doug and thanks!

I am writing this review because of the exceptional experience I had with Doug Cohen. I was facing three charges of sexual exploitation of a child on the internet and one charge of internet luring. Each carried 2-6 years to life in prison and a minimum of ten years probation. I ended up pleading to... one count of attempted internet sexual exploitation and received a 2 year probation sentence. Doug was incredibly knowledgeable of the law, was a very good thinker on his feet in Court, and knew all of the other players in the prosecutor's office and Court. These factors were instrumental in the outcome. In addition, Doug always treated me with the utmost respect and dignity throughout the process. He was also a very straight shooter in regards to what I could reasonably hope for. I would recommend him for any criminal defense matter you might be facing.

I hired doug to assist me with a felony DV case. This case turned my life upside down. Doug was instrumental in helping me reach a positive outcome via a plea deal. He was able to quickly assess the evidence and, while it may not have been the anwser I was looking for, able to coach me through o...ptions.

Doug is a top notch criminal attorney in all respects. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and effective. From the day I retained Doug through to the resolution of the case, I was 100% confident my case was in excellent hands. Doug provides clear and sound advice and confident advice and directio...n. He obtained the best results possible under the law in my case, and I am very grateful. If you need an attorney who knows the ins and outs of criminal law and has the first hand experience to navigate effectively in the criminal arena, hiring doug will guarantee you top notch legal representation and advocacy.
