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.

Thank you Doug- Sex offense Dismissed
Doug helped me through one of the worst situations i have ever encountered in my life. Doug and his team handled all communication with the courts and got me the result I was looking for when it looked very bleak. If you are in need of an attorney that is well connected, knows the law, and will be v...
I specialize in sex offense cases and know how life-altering they can be for clients. Just the charges alone make people assume clients are guilty, are pedophiles etc and it is always an uphill battle to convince the DA, the Court and/or a jury that you may not be guilty. I am so glad we were able to help you clear your name and move on with your life with a fresh start.

Attorney Cohen has done wonders for my family and I. I had a tough case and I was really worried about the outcome of my case, and not only did Attorney Cohen exceed my expectations, but he did it with class too. Him and his staff did amazing and I could not be more pleased with him as an attorney.
thanks for the great review and for entrusting me and my office with your case.

Doug did a very good job for us. We even meet with him on a Saturday morning at our convenience. Doug was very good only had to go to court one time and everything was taken care of. We would recommend him to all our friends and family if they needed a lawyer.
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Cohen and I were both attorneys on a number of Dependency and Neglect cases wherein I observed him to be a conscientious and zealous advocate. Mr. Cohen was always prepared, professional, respectful, and he commanded a great knowledge of the law and his client."
"I worked with Doug on a highly contentious criminal case several years ago and found him very professional and highly competent. He continues to do a great job for his clients and I highly recommend him."
"Doug is an excellent lawyer who knows his stuff, works hard, cares about his clients, and gets results. I highly endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Cohen filed a detailed response on this website that I reviewed and thought was outstanding. He clearly knows what he is doing and appears to give 100% which is an excellent quality in a lawyer and is supported by his client reviews,"
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Cohen is an outstanding attorney and I highly recommend his legal services."
"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."
"I am a criminal defense lawyer and I have had the pleasure of knowing Doug Cohen for over 20 years. Doug is one of the most talented lawyers I have ever known. He is intelligent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He is very honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Doug Cohen if you are in need of a top notch attorney."
