Awesome sex crimes lawyer!

Doug Cohen was very helpful with getting my felony case sex exploitation case totally dismissed. He helped me get a e-forensic data expert to challenge the police allegations. He then used the forensic analysis to meet with the D.A. and ultimately was able to get the case dismissed. Im incredibly gr...ateful for his services. I was looking at possible prison, and lengthy sex offender registration based on allegations that were not supported by evidence. He then followed up to make sure my arrest and court record was sealed.

EXCELLENT SEX CRIMES & CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER!!

I was charged with a sex offense in Jefferson County that threatened to destroy my life and career. After researching many attorneys, I hired Mr Cohen. I made the right choice. Mr. Cohen is an amazing lawyer and he and his staff also are very professional. He took his time to help me resolve a se...x crimes case that could have resulted in a long-term, potential lifetime prison sentence, major restrictions on my freedom and keep me from raising my kids and running my business. After a stressful, long year in and out of court, Mr. Cohen was able to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor with probation and helped me keep my family and business. He also saved me from having to be on the sex registry for life. Mr. Cohen gathered all the details and put together a plan for me and him to work as a team to reach a reasonable plea. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Cohen. He is patient, understanding, caring, and understands what each client is going through. Mr. Cohen is a fighter and he will fight for the right reason. He will fight for YOU!

I truly appreciate this review. I know how difficult these cases are for clients and that they are often faced with consequences that can be hard to accept. But you have accepted both the proper level of responsibility and the right-sized consequences, which we worked together to achieve for you. This has given you light at the end of a much, much shorter tunnel. So I commend you for that. You did the heavy lifting. I just helped get you there. Best wishes moving forward.

SO Case

I was involved in a sexual offense case, I had previously hired an attorney who was the all Gung Ho go get em type. I was at a loss of what I should do because I did not feel it was an appropriate approach to the case. I found Mr Cohen through recommendation of someone who had also been involved in a... sequel offense prosecution, after talking with him I decided that it sounded like he knew what he was talking about . It was a good choice on my part because I would probably be sitting in a jail cell if it weren't for him. He negotiated from prison time with life time registration down to a deffered felony of 4 years of probation and registration. He was very professional, walked me through each step, ensured me on things, helped me keep my head up, and most of all never had a bad attitude about doing anything. As his client he went above and beyond to help me get things done to help my case.

Glad I fired my first lawyer and hired Doug instead

I was falsely charged with a serious sex offense. It was a he-said/she-said situation. I made the mistake of talking to the police without a lawyer thinking they wanted to get to the truth of the matter. Instead, they had already made up their mind that I was guilty and only wanted to make the “facts...” fit their story. After being arrested, I hired a lawyer that had been recommended to me, but after six months he just wanted me to accept a terrible plea deal, saying that was the best I could expect. I fired that lawyer and hired Doug. Doug was very proactive. It was obvious that he knew what he was doing and that he was going to do everything he could to aid my defense. He even came up with a creative way to try and get some evidence admitted (that would have helped my defense), that the courts had deemed inadmissible on a technicality. Doug made sure I was ready to go to trial with the best defense possible. In the end, I accepted a much more favorable plea deal than the one my previous lawyer had recommended I take.

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.
