Mr Cohen was successful in sealing almost all criminal convictions including 2 felonies. One of which was a long shot, but Cohen performed a miracle.

Attorney Cohen has done wonders for my family and I. I had a tough case and I was really worried about the outcome of my case, and not only did Attorney Cohen exceed my expectations, but he did it with class too. Him and his staff did amazing and I could not be more pleased with him as an attorney.

Doug Cohen is the bomb dot com! I was charged with a DUI in the summer of 2020. It was my 2nd DUI with a pretty serious accident involved. Doug put together a plan of action in order to mitigate the damage that resulted from my reckless behavior and we were able to plea down my 2nd DUI to a 1st DUI with absolutely zero jail time. Doug is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is doing. In addition to being a great lawyer, he is very personable and easy to work with. It was a blessing to have a straight shooter, like Doug, by my side to help me navigate the ins and outs of the Denver court system and to provide guidance and reassurance. If you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law, do yourself a favor and give Doug Cohen a call!

I reached out to Mr. Cohen from New York to help a relative with a serious legal matter in Colorado. I found his law firm on the internet and was extremely fortunate he was a very competent lawyer. Mr. Cohen and his staff communicated with the client and me on a regular basis keeping us informed of what was going on and our options. He was also helpful in referring us to a New York lawyer to resolve the case in a favorable way avoiding the potential risks of going to trial and a permanent felony record. His staff was also compassionate during this stressful process. If you need a lawyer, I would highly recommend Mr. Cohen.

I called Doug Cohen when Douglas County DHS opened a D&N and took my children out of a safe and loving home. Doug aggressively used my documentation and evidence to ensure that I was not steam rolled by DHS in advocating for my children. He was blunt and direct in making sure that I took the right steps throughout the case. DHS returned custody and Doug swiftly handled an appeal with the state to get everything removed from my record, without ever having to go to trial. Doug continued to represent me in my divorce case, which we had to transfer from WY to CO, which could have been a nightmare, but Doug made a smooth and easy process for me. By the end of the divorce, not only did I have majority parenting time and full decision making, but I was approved to move out of Colorado with my children. My ex-spouse was ordered to pay a significant amount of monthly child support, and a six figure judgment was entered against them for the property they previously liquidated without my consent. So to recap: Doug entered my case when I had ZERO CUSTODY of my children and a brand new CPS case. He closed my divorce case as I moved OUT OF COLORADO with my children, with FULL CUSTODY, a six figure judgment against my ex-spouse, and a large monthly child support order. Most importantly, Doug helped end a four year battle, with my children and I coming out the other side in one piece. Doug was the 4th attorney I hired in 1.5 years, and the only attorney for the job! Doug's paralegal Bonnie is meticulous, detail oriented, prompt, professional, and compassionate. She is an excellent communicator and continuously ensured that Doug and I were on the same page, and that we never missed a deadline - she is invaluable to this office! Doug can be a zealous warrior for your case when needed, but also knows when to dial back and tread lightly. In court, Doug was always sharp, knowing the facts of my case, which helped him to frequently reveal other parties' dishonesty and ineffectiveness. Doug was open minded to new ideas whenever we needed to discuss case strategy, but would speak up and be a true leader on my case when needed for a successful outcome. Doug was innovative, attentive, passionate, and on the ball throughout my case. I plan to continue to utilize Doug for any future legal needs, and I will continue to recommend him to friends, family, and colleagues. I'm confident that he was the right choice for my case, and will be the right choice for your case too!

Doug is an amazing lawyer. I was falsely accused of sexual assault and he was able to get the case dropped through his hard work and great knowledge of the legal system. It was the worst and most terrifying thing I had ever gone through but Doug's professionalism and obvious competency gave me a lot of solace through it all. He is very personable and easy to talk to which was extremely helpful in that situation. I highly recommend Doug to anyone going through something like this.

What an incredible attorney! When I first met Doug I had no clue what to expect. I had just received my second DUI and thought for sure I was going to get the book thrown at me. Doug listened, took action and was nothing short of incredible. This man went above and beyond to learn my case, investigate and take action. The concierge service I received from Doug was more than reassuring throughout every step. Doug fought hard, never gave up and got my 2nd DUI dropped to a wet reckless. This man knows the law and is brilliant in the court room. He is definitely the attorney you want in your corner.
