Zealous New York Criminal Defense Lawyer Asserts Clients’ Rights

Determined NYC lawyer defends clients against felony and misdemeanor charges

When you are facing a criminal charge, it is paramount that you seek the assistance of a qualified lawyer who can safeguard your rights. At Joel S. Cohen, P.C., I have spent almost 40 years defending clients throughout New York against criminal charges. Whether you were arrested for domestic violence, a drug-related offense or other state or federal crime, you can count on me to provide sound legal advice and exemplary representation.

Knowledgeable lawyer experienced in all aspects of criminal law

I focus my practice exclusively on criminal defense and can help clients who are charged with committing or conspiring to commit any of the following crimes:

• Federal crimes — I defend my clients against a wide range of charges, including white collar crimes, internet crimes, Medicare & Medicaid fraud and identity theft.
• Drug crimes – From charges of marijuana possession trafficking large quantities of drugs, I will build a solid defense against drug crime allegations and, if conviction is unavoidable, I will advocate for rehabilitation in lieu of a prison sentence.
• Homicide — If you are facing homicide charges, I can mount an aggressive defense based on factors that may be overlooked by prosecution, such as the possibility of the act being committed in self-defense.
• Domestic violence — With mandatory arrest requirements in place, your life can change in an instant if you are charged with domestic violence. I will examine the evidence surrounding the event and work to have the charges reduced or dropped.

I also represent clients in criminal and civil property forfeiture matters, where I advocate for the recovery of their property that was seized by law enforcement.
