Doug was hired to represent me after being charged with Felony Assault. Doug is honest, direct, and made himself available to answer any questions during the process. During the 6 months we worked together he guided me with proactive recommendations that ultimately helped lead to a positive resolut...ion, including no jail time. The prosecuting DA complimented his persistence and professionalism and stated on record that I had the right person representing me in this matter. Even after settling the case a few months ago, Doug has answered a few follow-up questions.

I was charged with sex assault 10 years ago and never knew I had a warrant. After interviewing attorneys for several weeks, I decided to hire Mr. Cohen. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I have made. Not only did he communicate with me even over small details, he would go out of his way to fin...d out other information. He utilized his position to the best of his ability and knew exactly what argument to present. I got the feeling he didn't sleep as he would email or respond sometimes late at night. In the end, the case got dismissed. I fully believe that with any other attorney, I would not have gotten the same result. He seems to be respected within the county I was charged in and they knew that their case weak compared to his attacks on them. I highly recommend Mr. Cohen and you will be in fantastic hands if you choose him.

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.

You will not find a better lawyer than Doug Cohen. My wife and I retained Doug after wasting lots of time and money on another lawyer that did not produce any results. It was almost time to go to trial and we really were in a bind. My wife was charged with some very serious charges. She was facin...g consequences that could impact our family for a lifetime. My wife’s career, schooling, ability to parent, and even her relationship with our kids was in jeopardy. After our initial consultation with Doug, it was obvious that he was the lawyer for us. He showed a genuine interest in our case and went above and beyond the expectations of even the most skilled and professional lawyer. He didn’t just want to know the details of the case; rather, he cared so much about our family that he wanted to find the root problem – what was the cause of the behavior that resulted in criminal charges – this resulted in bringing to light other issues that our family could work on together. Keep in mind; this was all just during the free consultation. After making the decision to hire Doug he continued to fight relentlessly for us. He compiled a game plan that he thought would turn our “no-offer” case into a plea deal. The prosecutor, in this case, was adamant at not offering my wife a plea, however, this didn’t stop Doug from trying. He checked up on my wife to make sure she was doing all the things she needed to do, giving her constant reminders, and being there for mental and emotional support. Doug was always available when we had questions or concerns, almost always answered the phone, or at the least, called us back in a timely manner. Although I was not technically his client, with my wife’s permission he made sure I always was in the loop and updated about what was going on in the case. Even the prosecutor himself was impressed with all the hard work and effort Doug put into our case, so much so, that he finally offered my wife a plea-deal after looking at a well put together packet of convincing info that showed the true problem in the case and what my wife has done to work on those issues; the issues that Doug brought to light and helped us take the steps to fix. We were very happy with the outcome of the case. This was a very stressful and scary time for us. But when you have someone like Doug, fighting hard for you every step of the ways, the fear and stress is overpowered by a sense of, “everything’s going to be all right.” After sentencing, Doug –although his work was done – walked with my wife and I over to probation office, sat there and helped us with all the paperwork and till this day is still in touch with my wife’s probation office, making sure they know all the mitigating circumstances of the case and ensuring a smooth transition. My wife and I truly are going to miss Doug. He really makes you feel like family. Thank you, Doug, and all the staff at Peak Legal Services, for everything you have done for our family!

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.
