Motor vehicle summons and DUI tickets

It seems inevitable that most drivers get a ticket eventually. Parking tickets can be a nuisance, but moving violations can cost you money.  In addition to the fines and court cost there are surcharges imposed by the insurance companies. 

These matters should not be taken lightly.  You must be properly prepared to meet and defeat the charges against you.

Mr. Cohen has many years experience as a municipal public defender.  He has handled hundreds of cases of speeding, disregarding stop signs, careless and reckless driving as well as unsafe operation of motor vehicles. 

He always obtains the discovery including the police report, and where available the Drinking/Driving incident report and he personally views the videotape with his client.  These cases are serious as they involve the potential loss of license for a year or longer. 

Assault and Battery

Tempers can erupt from time to time, even among friends and family.  When that happens and the police are involved charges may result.  It is better to keep the matter in the local court where the penalties are less that if the case goes to the Grand Jury on the county level. 

By getting involved early Mr. Cohen can intervene by talking to the local authorities and seeing to it that cool heads prevail.  Often times he has gotten the charges reduce to Disorderly or petty disorderly offenses, or even dismissed entirely.
