Look for a lawyer with experience handling serious charges in New Jersey courts and preparing cases for trial. Ask how the attorney investigates searches, witness accounts, forensic evidence, and digital records. Matthew Cohan and his team assess these issues and prepare for negotiations or trial, drawing on his former prosecutor experience.

A lawyer should examine the current allegation and prior convictions before advising you about sentencing exposure. Matthew Cohan and his team review intent, surveillance footage, witness testimony, and the records supporting the alleged prior offenses. They assess grounds for dismissal, acquittal, reduction, or another lawful resolution without promising avoidance of jail.

A lawyer examines the government’s calculations against financial records, repayments, collateral values, and recovered funds. The review also considers which losses relate to the alleged conduct and which credits apply under sentencing rules. Financial experts help assess complex records when needed. Challenging an overstated loss figure helps your attorney argue for an accurate sentencing calculation.
