A Cut Above the Rest

DHS in Denver, CO made a finding of child abuse against me, so I hired Doug Cohen as my lawyer to represent me in the case. He is very honest and straight-forward. The case against me was weak, so DHS offered an immediate expungement. Mr. Cohen, being diligent to seek the best possible result for me,... consulted me frequently and was extremely transparent and detailed in everything DHS was doing and saying as well as what his thoughts and guidance were. He said that we should seek to get a reversal in the case, should it not be dragged out for years, thus increasing costs and fees I would incur. We decided to seek a reversal in the ruling, and a date was set for a hearing two years from then. Sewing as how an immediate expungement was very favorable and much more cost effective, Mr. Cohen then advised that fighting for a reversal just did not make much sense from a financial perspective due to the hearing date being so far out. Also, the expungement is a great ruling that should be considered. In the end, I chose the immediate expungement and have no worries about the case any longer. I am very pleased with Mr. Cohen as my lawyer and would hire him again in an instant. He is hard-working, blunt, informative, knowledgeable, tactful, and has integrity to top it all off. I highly recommend Douglas Cohen for anyone seeking legal services. I could not say thank you enough.

Freedom restored

I was facing a 20 year prison sentence and a lifetime sex offenders registry when Mr. Cohen took my case. Thanks to His diligent efforts and the high quality of His expert investigators I was cleared off all charges. I highly recommend Mr.Cohen’s legal team.

DUI Help

I could not recommend Attorney Cohen more. After discussing my case with him, he immediately recognized that the way the police handled my traffic stop was suspect. After spending time doing discovery for my case, Attorney Cohen felt that we would have a good chance at me maintaining my drivers licen...se because of the mistakes made by the officers during my traffic stop. While DMV for DUI cases almost always end with loss of driving privileges, Attorney Cohen was able to successfully argue that I should maintain my driving privileges, and I was able to keep my driver's license without any disruption in my driving rights. Additionally, my two children were in the vehicle with me when I was pulled over for which I was charged with child endangerment. Mr. Cohen was able to get both of those charges dropped during negotiations with the District Attorney's office while also securing a one year deferred sentence for my offense. This means that, as long as I fulfill the requirements of my probation, the charge/conviction will be removed from my record. I could not have been happier with Mr. Cohen's communication, professionalism and willingness to answer questions and provide fantastic representation.

I am glad we were able to challenge the police work in this case, help you keep your license and hopefully avoid a permanent conviction. We also are glad you, your family were safe and all is well.

Attorney review

iF You are searching for an amazing attorney, we highly recommend Douglas Cohen. Are son was facing felony charges in Larimer county, with the possibility of life in prison. Douglas went above and beyond doing his due diligence. Our son needed some evaluation’s and Douglas researched who would be the... best fit for our sons needs, because he has an intellectual developmental disability. His case ended with a misdemeanor and a deferred sentence.

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...hom returned my calls once they learned I pled guilty. So I was in a panic as I had no idea how to navigate the "system" I was dealing with (WY DOT, my mandated ETG tests, my court ordered Substance Abuse Evaluation, etc.). I was finally referred to Doug, and after the experience I had with the previous attorneys, I wasn't expecting much. I told him at the beginning of the call that I had pled guilty, and not only did he spend 30 minutes advising me on that initial call, he advised me that he didn't want to take any money because as I had pled guilty he wasn't sure what he could do! Not something I was expecting at all. However, his assistance didn't stop there. Over the course of the next three weeks, we traded emails (which he always promptly responded to) where he advised me on matters such as: 1) Since it was my first offense, he informed me of WY Statute 7-13-301 The Deferred Conviction First Offender Statute that allows the court to place the defendant on probation, and if/when those probationary requirements are met, the initial charge is dismissed. I made this request and it was granted! I wouldn't have even known to request this were it not for Doug. This likely saved my career as otherwise, I would have had a DUI conviction on my record for 10 years. 2) He suggested I write a letter to the presiding judge, as well as the DA, in advance of my sentencing hearing letting them know it was first offense and why I think I qualified for the Deferred Conviction, which I did. 3) he navigated me through dealing with the Wyoming Dept of Transportation to make the request for a Probationary License, which was granted. This also helped me avoid damage to my career as it allows me to continue to drive to and from work every day. 4) He helped me prepare for my SAT/ASI Evaluation. As a result, I the recommendation I received was for the minimum 8 hour DUI class. During our email correspondence, I again offered to pay a retainer to secure his help, but again, as he felt there wasn't much he could do due to my guilty plea, he wouldn't take it. I can't tell you how impressive this still is to me, especially after my initial attempt to secure counsel. Not only does Doug and his firm come highly regarded by others in he legal profession (the attorney who referred me to Doug is tops in his field in Colorado), I can attest, based on my experience, that he is an honest, ethical person who clearly wants to help.

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!!
