Highly Recommended

Mr. Cohen assisted me in a very important legal matter. I contacted Peak Legal Services via their web form. Within 10 minutes of filling out the request for consultation, I received a phone call from Mr. Cohen. I briefly explained the situation to Mr. Cohen and he thought it was a great idea that I r...etain his counsel. I am very glad I did retain his services. In our first meeting, I explained it detail the situation and within 10 minutes, I could tell that Mr. Cohen already had a strategy for my defense. I was not charged or arrested for a crime at this point, however due to the seriousness of the allegations it was a good thing that I retained Mr. Cohen’s services. He explained what evidence would need to be gathered and fortunately, I had most of the evidence. Furthermore, he explained in what order the evidence would need to be gathered and outlined a timeline in order to present the evidence to the detective. Due to Mr. Cohen’s extensive knowledge, experience, and strategy the investigation closed. I cannot say enough about the depth of knowledge, speed, accuracy, and concise manner in which Mr. Cohen explained the strategy, though it was a very stressful time, with Mr. Cohen’s invaluable knowledge and professionalism it gave me confidence throughout this process. I highly recommend Doug Cohen of Peak Legal Services.

Case

I would highly recommend Douglas Cohen for criminal crime. His assistance is the reason why I’m able to live more at ease. I got arrested and had only 4 days til my court appearance. As I was reading the attorney’s reviews on Avvo, Douglas ’s reviews stood out outstandingly. I decided to give him cal...l and within 5 minutes of talking to him made me realize I made the right choice. I was being charged with two charges. (Prostitution) By the way he’s handle cases like mine before which also made me feel at ease. He had a meeting to attend and he still gladly assisted me. We discussed what was going on and from there he set up a meeting for us. At the meeting he made sure to get everything down to perfection. Douglas made me feel good about the case, of course there was a chance it could of went bad but I felt real positive with him representing me. With me only having 4 days to get ready for court , Douglas still took the case. He is all about the client and making sure you get the best deal as possible. He kept in touch everyday to keep me updated on the case. Honestly I don’t have no regrets hiring Douglas. Thank you again Douglas

Great advice

Reached out to Doug about a possible pending matter that was some what time sensitive. Called me right away at night because he wasn't sure how time sensitive it was. Told him it could be handled during office hours and was able to text him and call him directly, not be pushed back and forth from som...eone else before I needed to talk to him. Made me much more confident about my situation and at his advice not needing his services for this matter at this time. Certainly any issue in the future I will definitely hire him. Found him through great reviews from both happy clients and other lawyers from AVVO and he lived up to those reviews.

Doug got 1st Degree Murder case dismissed

If you need a knowledgeable and thorough criminal defense lawyer to defend you or your loved ones then Doug is your man! I hired Doug to represent a close family member. Doug is absolutely a phenomenal criminal defense lawyer. He immediately jumped at the chance to go to his defense, did his own p...ersonal thorough assessment and investigation of the situation and put together the best defense team of professionals who were perfectly suited to defend his case. This family member was charged with first-degree murder despite strong evidence that he did not commit any crime. Because of Doug’s due diligence he was able to get all charges dropped, the case dismissed and the records sealed, which is not a common occurrence in the industry especially for a man of color. If I had to personally have someone defend me in and out of court then I would definitely contact Doug. There is no one else that I would trust to represent me!

Fantastic Child Custody Lawyer!

I found Doug on AVVO while researching several lawyers online. I wanted the best in the city due to the potential difficulty of my case. I called him that day and was surprised when he answered. He took time to listen to me, was sincerely concerned with my situation and confident in helping me. After... this conversation, I knew he was the right fit. I was a single mother with a 6 year old son, having had great difficulty with my son's father over parenting-time, decision making and years of verbal abuse before and after our split. Doug helped me get to a place of understanding my rights and gaining back confidence, rather than constantly being emotionally drained over the things his father would do and say to get me upset. One thing I liked the most is that he thoroughly guided and helped draft the parental plan, making sure that the things that were important to me were included, while also explaining what was not realistic. He is stern, educated, professional and thorough. He even escorted my son's dad out of a meeting the three of us had when my ex became verbally aggressive and demeaning. I felt like he was on my team the whole time, but once again, realistic. In the end, I got everything that was most important to me as a mother and in the best interest of my son. I am truly grateful I choose him to help with this case. Life is so much better now! Thanks again, Doug.

I am so happy I was able to achieve the result that you had hoped for, and mainly that I could help you ensure your son was in the best situation possible, safe and well cared for in your home.
