Top tier representation

Mark is highly skilled and competent in his field. I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my case and cannot thank him enough. He kindly and patiently explained to me any questions I had and was always responsive with communication. His expertise of the law combined with his professionalism and mann...er truly sets him apart from other lawyers. My future and career goals were on the line due to a pending criminal case, and Mark has totally changed the outcome of my life, which words cannot describe how thankful I am. Would recommend in a heartbeat

College Student false accusations

My teenage college age son was falsely accused of a sex crime while away to college. Mark Cogans' firm had a 20 year sentence dismissed and in place of that my son faced two expungable misdemeanors. Our families worst nightmare happened when we were confronted with a DA with in my view, acting on p...olitical gain unwilling to even hear my sons side before taking it to the Grand Jury, then became intent , on sending our son to prison for 20years. All hope seemed lost, these were very dark days for our family. Then we walked into Mark Cogans office and the situation changed. Finally our son was heard. Mark then brought his team of lawyers and top notch private investigator "Randy" to gather the evidence of what really happened. His firm presented the findings to the justice system and firmly engaged the DA in conversations and legal motions with the judge, with a brilliant presentation of the truth. Mark and his team made it so glaringly apparent of the injustice being served by this DAs office that all felony charges were dropped to two expungable misdemeanors. During this ordeal our family quickly recognized how determined and focused Marks' entire team, (Jeff, Randy, Zack, David) team of legal professionals were for our son and bringing the falsehood of the accusers accusations to light. Jeff as an attorney and very skilled legal orator in presenting legal argument, Randy the investigator (retired detective) and his tenacity for digging out truthful, factual, evidence. Zack for his determination and ease of communication with others. David as a staff member, and recognizing the hell our family faced gave great comfort in inflecting empathy through conversation. Last you will find that the leader Mark Cogan is humble man. Yet his brilliance in developing legal strategy and presenting legal tenacious argument is a tribute to his profession . Further our family got to know him. We appreciated his candor, his wisdom and honesty. With Candor he told us the hard facts that our family faced. His wisdom prevailed over a DA who is in my view a zealot for persecution and blind to the truth. Honesty ? True to his overall character he sent us funds back we did not expect, that were not used because he is honest and a man I will forever trust. Our family holds these traits in high regard and our recognition speaks to something beyond the entire legal system, but rather to the very core of the man Mark C Cogan. Words alone are not enough to express our appreciation for him and his entire firm.

During the 3+ years we worked on his case, it was our constant objective to accomplish an outcome that would not destroy your son's life. We knew fully well that the authorities were determined to cause as much damage as they could. Happily, we were able to resolve this matter in a way that accomplished every objective, and return funds to your family. Accomplishing victories like this gives us enormous pleasure.

A number one experience!

Mr. Mark C. Cogan represented my wife in a very serious case and I was so very impressed by his knowledge of profession, capabilities of communication, and outstanding customer service. We needed a defense attorney rather quickly and did not have time to waste. I could tell from the first chance I ha...d to meet with him that he was the correct man for the job because there was no question in my mind, that he cared for the well being of my wife, and myself for that matter. He made me feel comfortable, giving me confidence, every time we spoke on the phone or in person, and that allowed me to further support my wife in her time of need. Which in turn gave my wife confidence. He took the time to explain everything, in very fine detail, to both of us so we could actually understand what was happening at the present time. He looks at and addresses each option very clearly with amazing detail helping you make clear decisions, when you are currently under a huge amount of stress. Mr. Cogan obtains a one-of-a-kind, team of associates at his side as well, that I cannot say enough nice things about, and they ALL make a great team, doing the very best for their client. A true powerhouse of talent is very evident. They kept telling us that they would get us through this situation, and they did exactly that. I honestly cannot thank them all enough for everything, they are certainly an amazing team and family.

Saving my livelihood

I could have never imagined in all my life I would be facing a Measure 11 crime. I had never been violent in my life and had a unremarkable record. I have spent over 15 years to get to the place I am now; a college educated professional with a professional license. But I found myself in an unfortunat...e situation where I could not escape from an abusive relationship and I acted out; one time. And that is all it took to be at risk of losing everything. I was referred to Mark from a colleague of mine whom Mark had successfully saved from loss of his professional license as well. My family and I put all our trust in Mark and his team; knowing that my entire life and the livelihood of my children depended on him. I felt immediately at ease with him. He was knowledgeable and always readily available to address my questions. It became very obvious that him and his partner Jeff Turnoy where passionate about fighting for a successful outcome of my case. They were ready for trial at any point but were also striving to resolve my matter through a plea deal. It is a very dark road to walk down the criminal justice system however him and his team kept me hopeful and brave even when I felt there couldn't possibly be a good outcome. I am beyond relieved that we were able to reach a plea deal that both saved my profession and allowed the control to be back in my hands. I ended up with a misdemeanor assault in the 4th degree conviction and a deferred sentencing for a felony. The felony will never show on my record so long as I comply with probation and my misdemeanor is expungable in 3 years. I cannot thank Mark and his team enough for quite literally saving my livelihood and my family's quality of life. When it comes to your career and future, you simply have to pick the best and most experiences attorney. Mark is just that.
