An Out of the Box Approach to Legal Defense

At Cohen & Hertz, PC., we look at the big picture, coming up with arguments that may even take the prosecution by surprise. For instance, one client of ours had been charged for domestic violence roughly once a year for four years. He obeyed the court orders and served his jail time, always being released only to be arrested and charged once more.

We argued that because the prison sentences and counseling didn't seem to have a positive effect, our client would probably end up in the same situation one year later, and another woman would end up being abused. We suggested that, instead of prison, he should be offered complete psychiatric treatment. The judge agreed, the client stayed out of jail, and his treatment has kept him from getting into the same trouble again.

If you've been charged with a crime and need an aggressive, experienced defense attorney to work to reduce your penalties or to keep you out of jail, contact Cohen & Hertz, PC., today and ask about our free initial phone consultation to discuss your rights and options.
