I have known Mark Cogan personally for many years. But when I recently had the occasion to consult with him about my domestic violence/divorce case, I found him to be smart, compassionate, and possessed of the kind of competence that only comes with decades of legal experience. I would recommend him ...to anyone in Oregon who needs serious legal representation.

Hiring Mark was easily one of the smartest things I could have ever done. My life was at risk of completely being flipped upside down and completely ruined. Mark and his team kept me calm the whole way without making any hollow promises. They kept me informed and would send me detailed invoice if ...I ever inquired about how much anything was ever costing me. I read a lot of reviews for Mr.Cogan and I knew he was a top attorney in Portland, but he made me feel like family, and he and his team saved my life. I will forever be greatful I found his to represent me

My case was not a simple PV; first; it was over 20 years old; second; I had several felonies in other jurisdictions, not to mention Federal felonies after the case in question. Add to the mix was difficult health issues in which incarceration would most likely exacerbate. Compounding all those issue...s was the county of jurisdiction is one of the most challenging for criminal defendants to obtain leniency. Mr. Cogan, as well as his extremely capable associates; whom comprise the true essence of real representation; courtesy, respect and professionalism, are true advocates for YOUR defense. Prior to engaging his firm, I had criminal pretenders, not defenders, they take your money and seem to forget you until they want your next payment. I'd had 2 defenders out of eleven attorneys. I also was blessed with a phenomenal advocate, Mark. No lip service, true advocacy. Going in front of a Judge is traumatic, if and when it happens you will hopefully be smart enough to engage Cogan Law firm, I was, tonight I am truly free, my case was resolved without incarceration, believe me, I thought that I'd be spending a year or more in State prison, instead tonight I'm home, writing a review that assures you that I'm home due to Mark Cogan. No doubt in my mind! If you are still hesitating, call the office, explain your situation, hear what they have to say about your legal problems.

I did not end up retaining Mark because my case was dismissed. However, I chose to write a review because I was very happy with my initial contact. I needed a lawyer immediately on a Friday afternoon and many offices were already closed. Mark was available by phone and was very professional and helpf...ul. I had spoken to several other attorneys and was not as impressed as I was with Mark.
