I got a DUI in May 2018 and was referred to Doug by a physician friend who spoke very highly of him. From the beginning Doug was very transparent and forthcoming, explaining all the possibilities that could come from my case. He worked tirelessly finding inconsistencies that we could use to argue for... a lesser charge. I was always able to text Doug never waiting more than a few minutes for a response. I found Doug to be very kind, compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable about the law. I never once worried about my case or the outcome once I hired Doug. I can't recommend Doug enough to anyone looking for a very competent attorney. If I'm ever unfortunate enough to find myself needing an attorney again Doug will be the only one I call.

I am so happy I found this lawyer. Contacted 14 different ones, but ended up hiring Doug and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. He was very straight forward, sharp, honest, quick with the responses. I was not arrested and my case was closed as unfounded within 1,5 weeks thanks t...o him and his investigators. He wrapped everything up so quickly. Thank you so much, Doug!

I hired Doug to represent me in a very serious case. I was charged with felony menacing with a firearm and third degree assault in Jefferson County after an argument with a family member that led to him attacking me and a firearm was presented. I was locked up in the county jail for what felt like th...e longest several days of my life. I became distraught and depressed. I believed my life was ruined and I sunk to one of the lowest points I’ve ever been at in my life. As you can imagine I was somewhat of a high maintenance client and Doug was always honest and upfront with me, even if I occasionally didn’t take the news well. He was very reachable, at many points calling me multiple times a day to address the numerous questions I had. Doug even pulled some strings to make sure I was able to leave the country for a trip I had planned previously while my case was pending. He put together a thorough mitigation package and in the end got me a deal with the DA which included a plea to misdemeanor 3rd degree assault, no felony, no jail time (of which I was frankly terrified) and two years probation. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Cohen. He saved me, and he can save you too.

Mr Cohen did a great job and covered all his bases in arguing my father's de-registration petition case. There were a lot of factors involved and required extensive research and preparation. Mr Cohen was thorough in his research and preparation, and was able to win the case in court. I would recomme...nd him to anyone else who needs a competent lawyer to represent them in court.

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!
