Douglas T Cohen - Denver, CO

I enjoyed working with Douglas Cohen very much he was very thoughtful to my needs to what was going on to because I had no way of knowing what was happening. Doug had a huge task in front of him and he tackled every obstacle for a very good outcome of my case. I would recommend Doug to family and friends who need a great lawyer.

Quick response to my question and very helpful with follow up information! Thank you!

Doug represented me in a D&N with DHS/CPS, and then later in my divorce case. He was blunt and direct in making sure that I took the right steps throughout each 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. In my divorce case, he got it transferred to CO from out of state, which could have been a nightmare, but Doug made it 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 child support and a six-figure judgment. 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 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 was great. Blunt, straight to the point. Clear expectations. Under promised and over delivered. My situation was bad. My house was raided and the evidence against me had me dead to rights. I didn’t see anything In my near future but a jail cell. I was facing serious felony charges. 3 F2s, 2 F3s and 2 F2s. Usually in these types of situations the da and or cops want you to talk. And Doug knew that this wasn’t something that I felt comfortable doing. He put in the hours and figured out a way for me to walk away w just a single misdemeanor and probation. He went above and beyond to help me out of a very unhealthy living situation and lifestyle. He communicated w my family ( w my permission) and I throughout the entire process. And jumped through hoops to help me get to an out of state rehab facility. At which one point I wanted to leave and he convinced me that staying would not only be in my cases best interest but personally as well. He genuinely cares about his clients. Even the guilty ones. And treats you like a person, not a criminal. Hopefully, I won’t need legal help in the future. But if I do, I would definitely come back to Peak legal services again. The entire process went smooth w the help of their paralegal Bonnie and investigator. But for the most part I worked directly w Doug. I know of other attorneys in the area that immediately pawn you off to someone else on their team and don’t even show up to represent you during court. With Doug what you see is what you get.

Doug Cohen went above and beyond in representing me in my DUI case. His paralegal and him were always available for any questions or concern I had. Doug was very upfront with everything and I appreciated it. Since day one he guided me on what I had to get done before my court date. With his expertise and defending my case, I was able to get a short probation sentence and avoid jail time with in- home detention. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good attorney.

I initially hired Doug because he had prosecuted sex offense cases for a significant part of his career. I wanted an attorney who was deeply versed in the law. and with broad courtroom experience. I got those from Doug. Beyond being well prepared and thinking deeply about the case, Doug was really good on his feet in court hearings. I remember vividly the first time he spoke up in court and thinking I finally had someone defending me. But beyond that, and as others have mentioned. Doug is an empathetic and compassionate person. I never felt judged. He took an interest in me and my family. Two and a half years after the completion of my probation, we still keep in touch. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Doug to anyone I knew who got in a jam.

I hired Doug to help me after I was arrested for a DUI. From our first meeting he laid out what I could expect, my options on the table, and a few different strategies we could use to beat the conviction. His calm demeanor helped to ease the stress I was feeling immediately. Doug quickly gathered video evidence, breathalyzer information, and the arrest report. From here he was able to come up with a multifaceted defense that included inconsistencies with the officers report verses what the video was showing as well as problems with the way the breathalyzer was administered. Doug represented me at both my DMV hearing as well as all of my court hearings. Watching Doug cross examine my arresting officer in each of these venues was incredibly impressive and truly one of the great joys of my life. I'm not just saying that. As citizens we often feel powerless against our police force and to feel like I was able to have some of that power back felt like the playing field was now level. I realized that Doug is a very competitive guy which is exactly what you want in a lawyer. He wants to win and is going to work hard to do it. In the end Doug was able to beat my conviction and I left court on a cloud. If I had not hired Doug I would have a DUI on my permanent record, my insurance would have sky rocketed, and I would have had at least a year of probation requiring permission to leave the state among other things. Don't screw around with this stuff without professional help. Hire Doug and know you will be represented by an honest, hardworking stud who has your best interest in mind at all times. Thanks Doug!

Doug was an unflinching advocate for his client. His client was our underage son. He had his best interests at all times, even if it was at odds with what other professionals were telling us. Also, we ended up with the best outcome possible.

I got a DUI in May 2018 and was referred to Doug by a physician friend who spoke very highly of him. From the beginning Doug was very transparent and forthcoming, explaining all the possibilities that could come from my case. He worked tirelessly finding inconsistencies that we could use to argue for a lesser charge. I was always able to text Doug never waiting more than a few minutes for a response. I found Doug to be very kind, compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable about the law. I never once worried about my case or the outcome once I hired Doug. I can't recommend Doug enough to anyone looking for a very competent attorney. If I'm ever unfortunate enough to find myself needing an attorney again Doug will be the only one I call.

We hired Doug to represent us in a criminal matter that was very stressful to our family. He was very calm and understanding and answered all of our questions satisfactory. We could call anytime and often got quick responses. He quickly eased our mines and took care of the matter with the most ultimate results that we could even ask for.

I couldn't have asked for a more adept attorney than Doug Cohen. He helped my family through a tough case and my family will forever be grateful for him. I had spoken to multiple attorneys and decided to work with Doug because he was the most compassionate and knowledgeable attorney. More importantly, Doug genuinely cared for my family and he was very transparent with the whole process. Even though our case has wrapped up, he still responds to us right away when we have any questions. Doug is more than just an amazing and competent attorney, he is also truly a kindhearted person. I would recommend Doug to anyone in a heartbeat!

Doug is a miracle worker. Earlier this year, I was arrested and charged with two sex offenses. When I was released on bond, I was court ordered not to have contact with my family or any minors. I was living in a hotel and being investigated by CPS. Doug was able to convince the judge to remove the protection order and reunite me with my family. He swiftly handled CPS and was with me every step of the way. As my case progressed, Doug was able to negotiate with the DA to drop both charges for a low level misdemeanor. So I went from facing years in prison and registering as a sex offender to a fine and some community service. Doug essentially made this nightmare go away. I was able to keep my job, protect my family, and live my life.

Doug is a very competent lawyer who knows how to create an effective strategy to deal with the cases he takes on. I have no doubt that we got the best outcome because of his work on my felony and misdemeanor case. He got two charges dismissed, no jail time, and got the charges down to the lowest level misdemeanor. He was very responsive at all hours. Do not hesitate to call him if you have just been arrested.

Doug did a great jon helping us out with a matter. He was diligent, professional and caring. He was very thorough and compassionate. Truly appreciate all he does.
