Matthew Jeremy Cohen

My husband and I were faced with the unthinkable a few months back. He was involved in a fender-bender car accident, and then arrested on suspicion of a DUI, despite blowing/testing below the legal limit. I can't emphasize enough what an unimaginable experience it was for he and our family. We knew v...ery little about the criminal justice system from this perspective, and felt incredibly confused and lost. How do I bail him out of jail? How will I contact him? How long will he be in there for? After trying to manage things on my own the first day, I decided it would be best to secure a private attorney whose expertise could help us through the trauma. As an avid Yelper, I took to Yelp to search for a top notch lawyer. Low and behold, I found The Law Offices of Hart J. Levin, with several 5-star reviews. Yelp led me to their company website, where I researched their credibility. I further researched their lawyers, and decided it would be a great decision to go with this firm. I called the office, and was immediately met with warmth and sympathy by someone I assume was an administrative assistant. I explained my situation, and was transferred to speak with one of their senior attorneys, Matthew Cohen. After connecting with Matthew, I explained the circumstances, after which he explained what the process could look like for my husband, and what the process could look like if/when I were to secure him as our attorney. Matthew was reassuring, empathic, and knowledgeable. He advised me to take some time to think about it, and to call him back at his cell phone once I was ready to make a decision. Before deciding to secure Matthew as our attorney, I continued to check on my husband's inmate status online, and was shocked when I saw his status change to "no bail". I called Matthew in a panic and described the details of the odd change, after which he researched, and told me he would make a phone call to the jail warden and investigate. He called me back within minutes, telling me it was fixed, and that the jail had assigned a different inmate's information to my husband's record in error. He had them correct the error, and advised me to proceed with securing bail. I was already working with a bail agency, otherwise, he would have helped me with that process as well. I was floored that Matthew helped us with this situation, before I even secured him as our attorney, and before I even paid him a dime. I knew at that point, he was the right guy. After multiple terrifying and confusing phone calls with my husband, and learning how to navigate the terribly slow and archaic LA County jail system, my husband was finally bailed out of jail. We immediately called Matthew, who instantly began working on our case. Anytime we had questions, he was ready and willing to help. Matthew took care of EVERYTHING for us. We never had to step inside a courtroom. In fact, Matthew was able to bring the Felony DUI charge to a complete dismissal/rejection. NO charges ended up being filed! We were extremely grateful, and BLOWN AWAY. Needless to say, we feel indebted to Matthew for his dedication, skills, and empathy. The least we can do, is write this review for him and encourage many others in similar situations to trust Matthew and his office. He will truly fight for you. Thank you to The Law Offices of Hart J. Levin, and thank you Matthew Cohen specifically, for putting up a fight and sparing us from additional grief.
