Ben is an amazing attorney and provided the finest legal representation for me during the most difficult time of my life. I faced multiple felony charges, severe penalties, and an aggressive prosecution. Ben has all the qualities of the best lawyers. In my case he applied excellent, diligent and t...ransparent counsel in all procedural aspects of my case, which is expected of all defense attorneys; however, Ben went and beyond for me. He has intangible qualities that won the best outcome for my case: an outcome I believe wouldn’t be possible with different counsel. Most notably, Ben’s trial and courtroom presence sets him apart. He was a true advocate for me in the courtroom. Ben is a gifted speaker, communicating arguments with dazzling clarity. Ben was highly prepared to respond to an aggressive prosecution with his creative, winsome, and convincing defense. Not every lawyer has Ben’s social acumen to turn the tide in decisive courtroom moments. I witnessed Ben’s consistent excellence from pre-trial proceedings to the highly favorable resolution of my case. In addition, Ben is genuine, personable and transparent. Throughout several pre-trial difficulties and restrictions, Ben kept me regularly informed of the evolving elements of my case. He demonstrated professional and uncanny empathy to me in the most challenging moments. In other words, “going through the motions” (no pun intended) is not an aspect of Ben’s approach. As his client, I found Ben’s natural and intuitive concern for me to be a rich bonus of his passion and practice of law. I confidently risk hyperbole to say again that Ben is one of the finest defense attorneys in the Pacific Northwest. In my case, several charges were dismissed, I was not incarcerated, and I was granted a second chance by the court. By most standards, this was a miracle; but in reality, I attribute this to Ben for his diligent and outstanding legal work, and for the intangible qualities that comprise his character and style. Do not hesitate to consult or retain Ben; I anticipate all his clients -present and future- to experience his commitment to excellence. Thank you, Ben! I’m making the most of my second chance.

Ben was wonderful to work with on an unexpected civil matter, providing responsive service and aggressively representing our interests. Ben strategically used knowledge of case law and experience with the legal system to secure a favorable outcome. He offered guidance and support to us as clients wit...h incredible responsiveness, providing leadership in a difficult (or better word) situation.

Ben handled all correspondence with professionalism, timeliness, and discernment. With his prompting, I was proactive with the initial requests of the prosecuting DA and was able to settle my case before going to court. The very fact that Ben encouraged me to get involved with taking responsibility f...or my action through involvement with community service, reached far in my understanding of what will be required of me and the impact that I had on others in committing this act. Ben's assurances and expertise, along with those of the team at the Cogan Law Firm, are amongst the highest level of professionalism. Thank you so very much!

I recently got charged with an MIP ( Minor In Possession ) & quickly had to find a lawyer so my License would not be taken away as my job depends on it. I called Mark Cogan’s office, we went over the details of what had happened & they had quickly accepted to help me. Benjamin Scissors was my assigne...d attorney. We went over what I was looking to get out of this & my one & only reason was I did not want my license to get suspended & He did just that. He was very good on communicating with me & letting me know how things are looking/how Hes going to attempt on achieving what was now our goal. I greatly appreciate Benjamin for me what He has done for me & couldn’t be more thankful with the outcome.
