Exceptional Legal Advice

I recently was involved with a legal issue and reached out to Doug for some advice and understanding of the situation. From our first encounter, he sat down and gave my issue his undivided attention. He was knowledgeable, honest, and explained the legal process I was going through in approachable l...ayman's terms. Even though my issue was out-of-state and out of his jurisdiction, he was extremely thorough in the research and advice he provided. He made many phone calls on my behalf, and provided exceptional advice to help me retain an attorney that could work with my case. Doug's compassion for his clients is apparent. He cares not only about the case, but empathizes with the difficulty of dealing with legal matters. I can't thank Doug enough for the sound advice he's provided me, and would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for an knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate attorney.

Best Around

Doug was the assistant DA for our case in Jefferson County Colorado and there could not have been a better attorney. Doug was truly our grand children’s advocate. He was very methodical and thorough and came up with a solid strategy. Doug is solid in court and the results show the amount of time and ...effort he puts into a case. My wife and I are impressed with how professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, sensitive and thorough he was!!! It’s not exaggerated to say that Doug Cohen can be a game changer in the cases he takes on. In our case he listened intently, asked a lot of questions to ensure he knew exactly what happened and what he needed to know to investigate and help the victims in our case. Doug was excellent about keeping us informed on what was going on. We truly felt that my family and our case truly mattered and he was going to do everything to help the children ! And he did! I couldn't recommend an attorney more and it was obvious he is an expert.

Excellent Attorney - Highly Recommend

Doug is an outstanding attorney and litigator, equally effective in both a corporate environment as well as a courtroom. He provides that rare combination of an attorney who quickly understands the underlying legal or compliance issues and then provides a well-conceived, measured strategic approach. ...He is well-organized, very cognizant of his timelines and commitments, and consistently provides status to his clients. With Doug, there are never any surprises, which is always a very desirable trait with attorneys. He always brings with him a very professional demeanor and a pleasant disposition. Doug is a great asset to have on any legal team.

Disappointed and in jail

This review comes all to easy for me to write and I want to save people out there a lot of money. We had paid Doug Cohen of Peak Legal Services 10K and received very little for our money. Mr. Cohen was sarcastic, rude, mean and condescending. He was happy to take our case on then he changed. I w...as fighting four misdemeanor probation violations, two of which I admit I was guilty for. Those two were on me. I failed myself, my family and my lawyer on that. I suffered three strokes during this time and was on one 11 different prescribed medications, which more than like caused the other two false positives. My fiance and i did most of the work. Mr Cohen could not even find time to meet with me and we he did he was very negative and acted like a bully. He lacked respect for my family and myself. At the end, on the day of my sentencing Mr. Cohen was a 'no show' , instead I was there alone. I was sentenced to 18 months in county jail for four alleged 'hot' UA's, that being the maximum sentencing for county jail for a misdemeanor. We have disputed half the charges and have since hired another attorney one who is doing a fantastic job. I filed for 'inefective counsel' with the courts and am working on getting to a treatment center instead of jail for a penalty not worthy of the crime. If you are considering hiring Doug Cohen of Peak Legal Services, remember this, though everyone is innocent until proven guilty you will not get that feeling from Peak Legal. If you've been arrested for any type of misdemeanor, expect to be treated as though you've already been proven guilty and convicted, for the team at Peak Legal won't 'zealously' defend you as they themselves have chosen to be your judge and jury.

Out of respect for each and every one of our clients, and due to attorney-client privilege and professional ethics rules, my law firm will not comment about specific cases on AVVO. In general, however, my firm's reputation, commitment and dedication to our clients is well-demonstrated in our numerous AVVO client reviews and attorney-colleague recommendations. We thank all our clients who have contributed to our 5-Star and "Client's Choice" ratings. Those reviews clearly are based on my firm's and our client's mutual hard work and dedication, as well as the positive professional relationships and longstanding friendships developed with one another. Those 130 other client reviews clearly demonstrate my and my firm's commitment to treating our clients with respect and dignity, honoring all professional commitments, and striving to achieve the best possible outcomes for each client.
