Douglas Todd Cohen

I hired Doug Cohen after I was charged with domestic violence and third-degree assault. A Child Protection Services (CPS) agent intimidated me and my family with his aggressive involvement. With Doug’s help, I received a deferred sentence for my criminal case and was given probation. In response t...o Doug’s representation, the CPS agent calmed down, eventually resigning his involvement and closing his case. Doug was generous with his time, exacting with his explanations, and responsive to my sense of urgency. Doug’s expertise helped allay my fear of the unknown and provided a sense of security in an otherwise insecure time. I highly recommend Doug Cohen of Peak Legal Services.

I found Doug on AVVO while researching several lawyers online. I wanted the best in the city due to the potential difficulty of my case. I called him that day and was surprised when he answered. He took time to listen to me, was sincerely concerned with my situation and confident in helping me. After... this conversation, I knew he was the right fit. I was a single mother with a 6 year old son, having had great difficulty with my son's father over parenting-time, decision making and years of verbal abuse before and after our split. Doug helped me get to a place of understanding my rights and gaining back confidence, rather than constantly being emotionally drained over the things his father would do and say to get me upset. One thing I liked the most is that he thoroughly guided and helped draft the parental plan, making sure that the things that were important to me were included, while also explaining what was not realistic. He is stern, educated, professional and thorough. He even escorted my son's dad out of a meeting the three of us had when my ex became verbally aggressive and demeaning. I felt like he was on my team the whole time, but once again, realistic. In the end, I got everything that was most important to me as a mother and in the best interest of my son. I am truly grateful I choose him to help with this case. Life is so much better now! Thanks again, Doug.

I hired Doug in 2017 to help with a family legal matter and I am so glad that I did. Over the 6 months that I worked with Doug he was very professional and took the time to explain everything that was going on in my case and what were the next steps to be taken. He was always very prompt in his respo...nses and communications with me. I would highly recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone who is fighting with Social Services. He will fight for you to get the best outcome for your case. Thank you Doug.

We hired Douglas Cohen for representation in a family member's case and worked with him over a five month time period. Mr. Cohen was consistently available to answer questions and discuss concerns. He was personable, honest, and direct in our interactions with him. Mr. Cohen has excellent communicati...on skills and he was always patient in explaining concepts and unfamiliar terminology, as well as the next steps in the case. He studied our case thoroughly and made very helpful recommendations that led to a positive resolution. We could not have asked for a better outcome of our case and Mr. Cohen was instrumental in achieving this for us. We would highly recommend him.
