Should I Hire a Former Prosecutor to Defend My Criminal Case?

A former prosecutor understands how the government reviews evidence, decides which charges to pursue, and approaches plea discussions. This perspective helps a defense lawyer identify gaps in the prosecution’s proof, evaluate the risks of a case, and prepare for the arguments the government is likely to make in court.

Matthew Cohan is a former prosecutor who now defends clients facing criminal investigations and charges in New York. He uses his knowledge of the prosecution process to examine police conduct, challenge unlawful searches or statements, negotiate from a position of preparation, and take a case to trial when needed.
