An Outstanding Trial Attorney Who Fought for Me Every Step of the Way

I was extremely fortunate to have Sarah represent me in a serious criminal case that ultimately went to trial. From the very beginning, she took my story seriously, immediately identified the legal complexities, and committed herself fully to my defense. Throughout the long pre-trial process, she kep...t in constant contact, attended hearings on my behalf for over a year, and was always available to answer my questions. She also negotiated a favorable SOC offer and thoroughly explained the risks of trial, but ultimately respected my decision to proceed. During trial, Sarah was nothing short of exceptional. She approached jury selection with both strategy and intuition, and her opening statement was persuasive and attuned to the jurors. Watching her cross-examine witnesses was incredible — she was respectful, precise, and uncovered key weaknesses in their testimony. She prepared me for my testimony and guided me through it with care. Her closing argument was truly unforgettable — powerful, well-structured, and delivered with passion and clarity. After the jury returned a not guilty verdict, Sarah remained composed and supportive. She called me later that day to break down what happened in deliberations and followed up again the next day to offer her congratulations. Sarah is sharp, intelligent, and truly invested in her clients. If you are dealing with a criminal matter, I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will be in the best hands possible.

What a great professional lawyer.

All I can say is wow. She works so good. All I have to do is hire her and wait for the results. She take care everything for me. I don't have to make appointments or calls. All I did is wait and she works very fast and professional. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Friendly and responsive

I recently found myself in a very challenging situation when someone I had only met briefly (about 30 minutes in total) during a work interaction filed a completely baseless protection order against me. This individual was going through a severe mental health crisis, which unfortunately led them to t...ake this drastic and unjustified action. To make things even more stressful, I was on the opposite side of the country when this happened. Thankfully, I had Sarah Kohan by my side. From the outset, Sarah was amazing. She clearly explained what the protection order meant, what my legal options were, and what steps we needed to take to defend against it. Sarah was thorough and thoughtful in gathering evidence to support my case, and once she posted the evidence, the petitioner quickly withdrew the petition, knowing it would be dismissed. Sarah’s expertise, compassion, and professionalism were exactly what I needed during this difficult time. She handled everything with care and precision, ensuring that I was fully informed and supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. If you need a skilled and dedicated attorney, I highly recommend Sarah Kohan.

Above and Beyond

Sarah took the time to navigate a complicated records system for me where different jurisdictions said it was other jurisdictions problem to deal with my record. There was no clear path how to handle my case, but she took it on, spent the time, and figured it out with a successful result. I reall...y feel like she went above and beyond to handle my case and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer that really cares and has the skills to navigate the system.
