Mr. Cohen provided excellent advice regarding how to resolve a thorny traffic citation issue. The end result was a dismissed case. I would strongly recommend using Mr. Cohen in similar situations.

I had a consultation with Mr. Cohen, and he was very professional. He did not ultimately accept my case, which might normally have aggravated me. But he explained why and was a pleasure to deal with.

I worked with Mr. Cohen a few years ago. He and his firm did a great job handling my case, a bad car accident in the Washington, DC area. My car was hit by an 18 wheeler truck on the Beltway just before the Dulles Toll Road. The truck was traveling in the right lane and decided to change lanes without seeing my car. It hit the side of my car and traveled with my car for about half a mile. If it weren't for our seatbelts, my husband and I would have been killed. Luckily, the injuries were not life threatening. Mr. Cohen made sure that all of my medical bills were handled and helped me deal with my car insurance company. He was very thorough! I would recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone that has had a car accident in the Washington DC area.

Mr. Cohen is an excellent lawyer with top credentials. He attended the University of Michigan and the University of Miami. He is also a Past President of the D.C. Trial Lawyers Association, and has appeared on many, many talk shows (ABC, CBS, NBC, Today Show, etc.). My only issue with his firm is that they only take a small amount of the cases that they are called on. They do give a free consultation, so calling them is definitely worth a shot. If they will take your case you are in excellent hands.
