Posted by Michael | August 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Amazing work

Dan has been an amazing help to me getting through my DUI. He was upfront with me about my case, explored all options that could have been available to me and in the end was able to get my community service time and IID time reduced from the original lengths. Dan has also been great about working ou...t a payment plan with me, as I was unable to pay the full cost upfront.`Dan has been more helpful than I could have expected. If you need legal representation after a DUI this is the man to see.

BEST LAWYER EVER!

I got a DUI, and I'm 19 so I thought I was screwed. But Dan Cohen got it down to just infractions! I don't know how he did it but he did, and that's all that matter! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who get charged with a DUI!

This man did the impossible for me!

★★★★★ 5 Stars! I recently had a 3rd DUI and was looking at 6 months in municipal pound me in the @$$ jail and 6 months of Work Furlough Mr. Dan Cohen somehow, someway, (I'm assuming he's a wizard or something of the sort) went to court in lieu of myself the entire process case, saving me the addition...al grief associated with going into court. I liken it to both the DMV and putting your head in a vat of acid simultaneously. He constantly kept me informed as to the happenings of my case and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. This man is passionate about his profession is the impression I felt throughout my case. I can tell he rolls up his sleeves before he steps into that courtroom. I assumed, BEST case scenario I would have 6 months of Work Furlough and 6 months of house arrest. When it was all said and done, I was approved to continue my personal business under work furlough which I am eligible to be off of in as soon as 90 Days! And no House Arrest! This man, The Cadillac of Lawyers in San Diego saved my butt! I am in debt to this man. And his fees are extremely reasonable and fair; I felt like I was getting this man's expertise for a steal. He is down to Earth, personable, and most important of all, not a robot! LONG STORY SHORT, YOU NEEDN'T LOOK ANY FURTHER, MR. DAN COHEN IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. ★★★★★

My Stop Sign Ticket Dismissed... Amazing Attorney!!!

I worked with Dan on a traffic violation (stop sign ticket). He was able to get the ticket dismissed without any traffic school or ticket fees. I could not be happier with the experience. Dan was very knowledgeable and responsive to all of my questions. I would strongly recommend anyone with a tr...affic violation to have Dan represent them.

****** Great Lawyer ******

Mr Cohen recently assisted my family and I with a very sensitive and potentially serious case. From the moment we met with Dan, he put my wife and I at ease. He actually listened and showed genuine concern for our situation. Long story short, Dan did for us what other attorneys said was not possible.... I can not endorse Dan enough. You will be in good hands with Dan....Thanks again Dan for all that you have done for my family.... CW

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
