Located in Atlanta, Georgia, The Cohen Law Firm provides strong, dedicated criminal defense to individuals facing everything from drug offenses and gun crimes to violent crimes such as murder.

DeKalb County Criminal Law Attorneys

Attorneys Andy Cohen and Jill Polster are experienced, aggressive criminal defense lawyers. Polster, a former prosecutor, and Cohen, a career defense attorney, met trying a murder case against each other. They have extensive experience trying everything from misdemeanor drug cases to even the most complicated high-profile capital crimes. This experience gives the firm special insight into the inner workings of the state’s criminal justice system. We have the experience to anticipate the prosecution’s every move and to proactively develop a winning defense strategy.

Our years of criminal defense experience paired with prosecutorial experience means there is no case our attorneys haven’t encountered and no case our firm can’t handle.

At The Cohen Law Firm, we understand the fear and stress caused by a criminal charge. Our attorneys personally invest their time, attention and resources to get our clients the most favorable result possible. We do everything in our power to help our clients defeat their criminal charges.

At The Cohen Law Firm, we fight for your rights, your freedom and your future. Our attorneys have a reputation for being fierce trial attorneys. Prosecutors throughout the state know we aren’t afraid of a courtroom battle and will do whatever is necessary to protect our clients.

Because we are known as lawyers eager to take our clients’ cases to trial, we are often able to highlight weaknesses in the state’s case and use those weaknesses to negotiate the most favorable plea terms possible. While we always consider beneficial plea agreements, we will not compromise our clients’ rights for an “easy deal.” If a plea bargain is not in your best interests, we will go to trial to protect your rights
