Brief! But far exceeds in expectations.

Generally speaking, from time to time people will take advantage of you, or try. Maybe you just made a mistake. Sometimes the thought to contact a lawyer seems scary, too serious, or otherwise unthinkable. Put your fears to rest here! If you find yourself in over your head, I cannot think of anoth...er CD Attorney you need to have on your side. Mr. Cogan and his highly qualified team of professionals are experts in Oregon Law, well connected, and ON YOUR SIDE!!!! I had a simple speeding traffic ticket, not too scary, but I was really upset due to the fact I hadn't a ticket in over 12 years! Regardless of its simplicity, Mr. Cogan and his team took my case, answering all of my questions immediately, and the response was top notch. I didn't feel like this was a simple case. Mr Cogan's team didn't either, taking it very serious and brought their A game. Let's just say I will be calling them again should I even have a loitering ticket. If you're reading this because you want a good lawyer and want to see what people are saying about them, keep on going. Cause here there are no good lawyers. Only great ones. Don't settle for mediocrity when it's YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE! Speeding tickets to Class A felonies... you're in good hands with this practice.

Attorney Mark Cogan has got my back!

I cannot thank Mark Cogan enough for being who is is, knowing who he does... and for helping me— with great success— through a difficult time in my life. His nuanced understanding of law and thoughtful legal representation saved me. Brilliant counsel and beautiful person. Words fall short.

Calculated professionals who win and have integrity

People shopping for criminal defense lawyers are in a vulnerable. Probably, you, like most, different than what media portrays. About me: Foster kid, adopted at a later age into a middle class family, college educated, middle class job, active member in spiritual community, volunteer in free time ...--very far how the media portray the typical "criminal." I have faced some tough situations and some lucky breaks. However, I had a series of unfotunate circumstances stacking up, including 'victims' contacting me and I had a moment of of an out of character response. I took matters into my own hands. I found myself on the wrong side of the law. Rookie cops stacked charges of many misdemeanors and felonies. My booking charges made me seem like a monster with serious prison time. Ended with a plea deal of 1 misdemeanor, ability to seek any professional license, bench probation with restitution, ability to travel. No jail, no reporting to anyone, essentially on the minimum side of a misdemeanor. This is the best investment I have made for my future. My advice -- you are hiring a team with the best value and do what ever it takes to secure the retatainer. Every private attorney may have a sticker shock. Think about this: having to be underemployed is more expensive than their price. You are getting a team for the price of one. Every step, I was and guided, Even when I disagreed, solutions were discussed seriously and they up front wth possible outcomes and costs. No roll of the dice with hiring another lawyer. Their competitors charge more money, even asked what highscool and college I went to before I discussed my case and wanted to charge 10 times their cost. This is your life and the costs of gambling with it is more expensive. An amazing team.

Just a consultation, but amazing

I contacted Mark Cogan for my husband's charges. Speaking to him briefly on the phone, he gave me invaluable pointers, and quoted me the retainer he charges for the crimes my husband was charged with. Although his retainer was higher than we could personally afford, Mr. Cogan did not hesitate to offe...r sound legal direction and gave me a few cautionary advisements whether or not I chose his firm to represent my husband's case; advisements that had I followed through on what I was going to do could have jeopardized the defense of the case. He communicates very well, and even though I'm sad I couldn't afford his retainer, however do contact Mr. Cogan he's a very passionate attorney.

Great communication, quick responses, and will give you his undevided attention!

I would like to start by saying i reached out to Mark before consulting multiple times before and after business hours and there was no hesitation or delay in response. I ended up not retaining Mark and his team after my consultation because his advice for my case specifically was to retain a law...yer who could assist me in multiple States. He gave me amazing advice and reffered me to another lawyer. After reaching out to the reffered lawyer, turns out he wasn't taking cases. Mark went above and beyond to follow up the next day to see how things were and ended up providing me another referral. If my case wasn't so unique I would have done whatever it took to hire Mark. The communication, expierence, and knowledge of the Oregon court system stood out in just a few calls and an in person consultation. The consistent follow up when he didn't have to was comforting.
