Sarah Elizabeth Kohan

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.

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.
