Finding yourself on the wrong side of the law is positively terrifying--the arrest, the handcuffs, the mugshot, the fingerprints, the 5-hour lockup, the formal charges . . . need I say more? Every step is excruciating. Your life is upside down, and it is phenomenally challenging to think clearly. ... At this juncture you need the best Criminal Defense Attorney available, one who is equally adept at providing a defense as well as an offense. Mark Cogan does both, and he does so vigorously, aggressively and methodically. Mark understands and maintains the proper balance of defense and offense with a laser focus. If you think this sounds important, you are completely accurate. It is so critically important, in fact, that it is the difference between success and failure. I cannot recommend Mark Cogan more highly.

Mr. Cogan obtained for me, an Expungement of my criminal record. The research required, far exceeded his expectation. Yet the service was completed for the compensation agreed upon at the outset. I am Very Grateful for the efforts he made on my behalf. If there were a category for, Most Exce...llent! I would have marked it.

Mr. Cogan assisted my son to expunge his felony criminal records. My son was barely 18 when he committed these offenses. He learned a very hard lesson as a result of his actions. Mr. Cogan successfully defended him to get his records expunged. He responded to my questions and concerns even during... weekends and during his vacation. His dedication to serving and defending his clients are extraordinary. Now my son can move on with his life after 10 years of suffering from a criminal records. He has a good job with Apple Computers and is able to contribute his skills and talents to society. Thank you, Mark. We are grateful to your services and would highly recommend you to our friends and family members who might need your assistance and support.

I went back to my rating and made one change. Originally I only gave him 4/5 on responsiveness only for the purpose of trying to not give a reader the impression that I was just "gaming the system" by giving all high marks, but then I thought to myself that I could not under rate him on his responsi...veness. Not only was he always available but I can not think of a single time that I could not get a hold of him or get documentation in an untimely manner. I mean it when I say I can sleep easier at night knowing that someone like Mr. Cogan is out there protecting our legal system from abuse.
