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.

EXCELLENT SEX CRIMES & CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER!!
I was charged with a sex offense in Jefferson County that threatened to destroy my life and career. After researching many attorneys, I hired Mr Cohen. I made the right choice. Mr. Cohen is an amazing lawyer and he and his staff also are very professional. He took his time to help me resolve a se...
I truly appreciate this review. I know how difficult these cases are for clients and that they are often faced with consequences that can be hard to accept. But you have accepted both the proper level of responsibility and the right-sized consequences, which we worked together to achieve for you. This has given you light at the end of a much, much shorter tunnel. So I commend you for that. You did the heavy lifting. I just helped get you there. Best wishes moving forward.

Review of Attorney Douglas T. Cohen
I highly recommend Attorney Douglas T. Cohen if you find yourself with a DUI case in Colorado or Wyoming. I am a military veteran and retired commercial pilot with an impeccable history. Unfortunately, I was ticketed for a first-ever DUI while on vacation in Wyoming. Mr. Cohen was diligent in ana...

Doug Cohen Really Helped Me With an Out of State Drug Case
Doug Cohen was extremely helpful in helping me with a citation I (Colorado resident) got in Wyoming. I was found to have a very small amount of marijuana in my car, and Doug helped me navigate the Wyoming court and got me a great deal that ended up being a small fine and some community service hours ...
thanks for the review! Wyoming has different rules about marijuana than Colorado so this is reminder that in Wyoming marijuana is still a crime and a "drug" case there. Also, the Wyoming State Patrol is always out on lookout for ways to contact/stop drivers with out of state plates. But glad we could help you get through this one unscathed.

Went Out of His Way to Help
I was referred to Doug in July 2022 due to a DUI charge in Cheyenne, WY (Laramie County). Never having any previous charges in my life, and therefore not really knowing the best course of action, I pled guilty to the DUI in my initial hearing. I contacted multiple attorneys in my home town, none of w...
Glad it worked out for you and that I could steer you in the right direction...but next time (of if a friend asks) yes, hire counsel before you plead guilty!!
"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."
