Criminal Defense

My family was very fortunate to have hired Douglas Cohen and Peak Legal Services, LLC, for representation in a sex offender criminal case. We actually found him here on AVVO. Mr. Cohen was extremely knowledgeable and kind throughout the case, and very skilled in court. He went above and beyond to h...elp us and was always available when we had any questions or concerns. Through his unrelenting efforts, he was able to reduce a sentence that could’ve been a life term to minimal jail time and probation, served back home with family in our home state. We are forever grateful to him and his team. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney to execute nothing less than excellent results!

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney!

Douglas T. Cohen, Attorney at Law with Peak Legal Services, LLC is a consummate professional who's relentless and unflinching pursuit of justice resulted in the dismissal of first degree murder charges that were filed against my relative. Doug used his superior knowledge of legal theory and his exten...sive experience in judicial and legal arenas to mitigate the enormous barriers that might have otherwise resulted my relative’s wrongful conviction. Doug was incredibly dedicated to seeking swift resolution in the first degree murder case I hired him for and he worked tirelessly to address my family's legal needs and well-being. He worked closely with us to ensure we stayed informed and fully understood the legal process and court proceedings. In addition, Doug’s staff was extremely dedicated and professional. Doug was always available to both the incarcerated person and the family members, he was easy to reach, and he gave our case his full attention. Due to Doug’s superior criminal law defense the first degree murder charges were dismissed and the criminal records were sealed. Without hesitation I recommend Douglas T. Cohen to anyone who is seeking legal representation!

thank you very much for having faith in me to help your family. The charge of 1st Degree Murder is as serious as they come. I appreciate your patience and dedication to helping me get the case dismissed.

Excellent attorney

I got a DUI in May 2018 and was referred to Doug by a physician friend who spoke very highly of him. From the beginning Doug was very transparent and forthcoming, explaining all the possibilities that could come from my case. He worked tirelessly finding inconsistencies that we could use to argue for... a lesser charge. I was always able to text Doug never waiting more than a few minutes for a response. I found Doug to be very kind, compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable about the law. I never once worried about my case or the outcome once I hired Doug. I can't recommend Doug enough to anyone looking for a very competent attorney. If I'm ever unfortunate enough to find myself needing an attorney again Doug will be the only one I call.

Criminal defense

I am so happy I found this lawyer. Contacted 14 different ones, but ended up hiring Doug and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. He was very straight forward, sharp, honest, quick with the responses. I was not arrested and my case was closed as unfounded within 1,5 weeks thanks t...o him and his investigators. He wrapped everything up so quickly. Thank you so much, Doug!

A Fantastic Attorney

I hired Doug to represent me in a very serious case. I was charged with felony menacing with a firearm and third degree assault in Jefferson County after an argument with a family member that led to him attacking me and a firearm was presented. I was locked up in the county jail for what felt like th...e longest several days of my life. I became distraught and depressed. I believed my life was ruined and I sunk to one of the lowest points I’ve ever been at in my life. As you can imagine I was somewhat of a high maintenance client and Doug was always honest and upfront with me, even if I occasionally didn’t take the news well. He was very reachable, at many points calling me multiple times a day to address the numerous questions I had. Doug even pulled some strings to make sure I was able to leave the country for a trip I had planned previously while my case was pending. He put together a thorough mitigation package and in the end got me a deal with the DA which included a plea to misdemeanor 3rd degree assault, no felony, no jail time (of which I was frankly terrified) and two years probation. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Cohen. He saved me, and he can save you too.
