Great sex crime attorney

2019 I was arrested for internet luring of a child. I was involved in an internet sex sting and hired Douglas Cohen to represent me. At first meeting, Douglas gave it to me straight forward on what I was facing and what he brings to the table to help me. After I hired Douglas, he fired away at my cas...e. He looked through my history, my current support, and also got me an evaluation for a risk assessment. Going back and forth with the DA we reached an agreement. I pled guilty to a lesser charge and the DA agreed to a deffered sentence. Meaning, I can have this whole charge dropped if/ when I complete my deffered judgement. I'm currently over half way done and have completed my therapy classes. I'm very thankful that I hired Douglas Cohen. I have the opportunity to put all this behind me with no conviction on my record. I recommend anyone with a sex crime to reach out to Mr. Cohen to hear what he offers.

Great outcome for a DUI/DWAI charge

I was facing a DUI conviction in Weld County, CO. As someone who had never even been arrested in their life, this was extremely stressful, even more so given the permanence of alcohol convictions in Colorado, and the fact that I rely on driving for my employment. Losing my DL would've turned m...y life upside down, and this is for a first offense with no injury or accident. CO does not mess around with this sort of charge, and if I had tried to go it alone I would've faced the full force of the court and DMV. Doug put together a strategy right away, got me started on all the mitigation while we awaited the court and DMV date. He reviewed all the facts (which admittedly did not look good for me, I did about everything wrong on the stop) and was very frank about my chances. This is something I really came to appreciate about his approach: he will give it to you straight and tell you exactly what are facing and what you need to do to get the best possible outcome. He was able to get the blood test result tossed out due to the police misinforming me of the law, and we managed to not only win the DMV hearing, but got the charge reduced to a non-alcohol offense. This combined with the mitigation he had me do, resulted in me being able to keep my license (and my job!), and reduce my probation requirements. This is excellent result, given the facts of the case. I would say he worked a miracle, but really it was just an experienced and skilled lawyer who knew what he was doing.

My Story

I got in some trouble in WY for an allegation of sex assault of a minor for which there was a 5-year delay in the reporting of the case where the DA was extremely difficult to work with and was very intent on getting the maximum penalty which included a lengthy prison term. Doug did an excellent job ...of navigating all of the issues that came up. He went as far as to hire an attorney that was from the local jurisdiction in order to have a better idea of how the case would be handled since I live in Colorado and had to travel back and forth for all proceedings. Doug was very involved throughout the entire process and was always available if I had any questions. In the end, he was able to resolve the case by getting me probation of a reasonable length with no time in jail and was successful in getting a very unreasonable request for restitution denied even after the rest of the case had been completed. He was very professional and if you ever have any type of sex case, I would highly recommend that you give Doug a call because he will do whatever it takes to ensure the best possible outcome and will always be honest with you as far as where your case is headed and what he thinks the next step should be.

It's tough for clients who live in one state and get charged in another (in this case Colorado and Wyoming) to navigate the legal system, different sentencing and also probation rules. One state's system is stressful enough for clients. Two is overwhelming. Plus you had a sex offense charge. I know it took a while, but I am glad we hung in there together, fought the good fight and that I was able to get you back to Colorado with your family and no incarceration. You deserve to have a decent life and a future and I hope this helps gets you there.

Fred Townes

My husband was involved in a situation where he was cut off at the gas station. He verbally yelled at the man. The man called the police and accused my husband of hitting him. The ambulance was also called. He was not transported (there was nothing wrong with him). The officers did issue a citat...ion to my husband for assault. That made it necessary for us to seek legal counsel. Our experience with Doug Cohen was excellent! He listened to us, gave us the facts, and proceeded with obtaining the necessary evidence to have the case dropped. We were well informed each step of the way until the best possible result was obtained. I would strongly recommend Doug Cohen to anyone who was in need of legal services.

This was an incident that never should have resulted in your husband's arrest or charges being brought. I am glad we were able to do our own investigation and help get the case dropped.

Great Representation from Doug Cohen

I had been cited for an offense and my family did research on who could best assist me with the legal process for my case. Doug Cohen selected and worked my case from end-to-end with professionalism and patience. Since I was not familiar with the laws affecting my case he did a great job of explainin...g and waling me through what needed to be done for the best outcome for my situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Cohen if you need representation in any of his specialties.
