Truck Driver

Doug did a very good job for us. We even meet with him on a Saturday morning at our convenience. Doug was very good only had to go to court one time and everything was taken care of. We would recommend him to all our friends and family if they needed a lawyer.

Always Available

Doug is a very competent lawyer who knows how to create an effective strategy to deal with the cases he takes on. I have no doubt that we got the best outcome because of his work on my felony and misdemeanor case. He got two charges dismissed, no jail time, and got the charges down to the lowest leve...l misdemeanor. He was very responsive at all hours. Do not hesitate to call him if you have just been arrested.

The best financial and strategic decision I have made

I hired Doug Cohen to represent me in allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment. We were initially introduced to him on recommendation from a well-known and respected personal injury lawyer. Facing potentially life-altering charges is deeply unnerving - it put me in a state of shock and, fran...kly, I was unsure about putting my faith in anyone to fully and adequately represent my interests. You want to make sure you are hiring the best person for the job and, as someone who didn’t deal with the legal system often, I felt unsure and afraid. However, from my first interactions with Doug, it immediately became clear that Doug was incredibly knowledgable, quick-thinking, and would be a true advocate for me. This proved to be true throughout the process. In retrospect, it was clear that from the moment I explained my case to Doug that he understood what needed to be done and had a vision for how to build a compelling case for dismissal. He acted swiftly and decisively to secure all of the elements he needed to present the detective with a case to not pursue charges. The district attorney ultimately chose NOT to pursue charges and the potentially life-altering consequences went away. I have Doug to thank for that and I am eternally grateful. In hindsight, hiring Doug Cohen was the best financial and strategic decision I have ever made. I could not be more grateful to his expertise, empathy, and rapid action. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone in need of competent and effective legal help.

Being falsely accused of a sex offense a very stressful experience for anyone to go through. I appreciate you putting your full faith and trust in me and my investigators, and for allowing us to present the facts to the police and prosecutors to avoid charges being filed against you. Best wishes to you.

Representation for domestic violence charge

I hired Doug Cohen after I was charged with domestic violence and third-degree assault. A Child Protection Services (CPS) agent intimidated me and my family with his aggressive involvement. With Doug’s help, I received a deferred sentence for my criminal case and was given probation. In response t...o Doug’s representation, the CPS agent calmed down, eventually resigning his involvement and closing his case. Doug was generous with his time, exacting with his explanations, and responsive to my sense of urgency. Doug’s expertise helped allay my fear of the unknown and provided a sense of security in an otherwise insecure time. I highly recommend Doug Cohen of Peak Legal Services.

Very happy for you with the outcome. It truly is important when dealing with criminal charges and social services allegations about intra-family and child abuse to have a lawyer who can handle both issues together. Thanks for putting your faith in me!

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
