“Hired Matt Hirsch at a distance to take on a traffic case with a missed mandatory court appearance (or two). Even as the case dragged on longer than anticipated (not the fault in any way of the lawyer), and indeed went a couple rounds, Mr. Hirsch remained engaged, positive, and proactive. I firmly believe he and his firm resolved my case with the best outcome for me. Would recommend Cohen & Hirsch for cases of my type without reservation, and his working for me at a fairly great distance, without my ever appearing back in state, deserves particular note”

“I found Andy Cohen via a google search and after our initial phone conversation I was happy to hire him. The circumstances that drove me to solicit an attorney were sensitive to say the least. He was kind, sympathetic and detailed which I appreciated very much. He kept me well informed throughout the hearing process and Andy always made sure to be available if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Andy and his team to help you through what is likely a difficult process.”

“Seamless experience dealing with Andy and Jill. They are both very knowledgeable and will go to bat for you. I was referred to Cohen and Hirsch by a friend and will refer them to others myself. Truly great people who care and love what they do. One thing that stood out to me is that they will update you consistently without you having to reach out. I will continue to use them in the future and so should you.”

“Matt was great. The day I called him he jumped right in and a week later charges were dropped! He’s my guy here on out. Not to mention he saved me 3k from the first firm I called.”

“If I could rate this law firm with more stars, I would. If you desire an excellent attorney that cares, has a great relationship with court system, communicates quickly, stays on top of your case and strives for the best outcome possible, then look no further than this law firm. Jill and Andy handled an extremely complicated case for my son with special needs and we received the outcome we desired. His case was dismissed and he can move now on with his life. I am very pleased and grateful to them for their efforts.”

“Matt was a great treasure! Always kept calm and let me be the same. Looking at his fb feed, I was convinced he’s the right person for me. Helped get through a difficult situation. His fees were also comparable to the others given the amount of personal attention he paid to the case. Never had the trouble of dealing with the paralegals(as we all know what happens). He was always available on text. Great experience!!”

“Wow, what an unexpected experience. We have all heard the horror stories and the jokes about lawyers. Well, I've been fortunate not to have had reason to use a lawyer... until now. Or at least that is what I thought. I don't want to get into the details, but I had sent an inquiry into the firm through their website and Andy reached out to me. He was patient, professional and funny. He spent a good 15 to 20 minutes on the phone with me. Explained to me in detail what I could expect. And recommended that I don't actually need a lawyer for what I have to do. I can't express my sincere gratitude enough. In the event I ever do need a lawyer, I know exactly who I'm calling.”

Dealing With A Possession With Intent To Distribute Charge

Drug crime charges can vary greatly, from simple possession to drug trafficking. Somewhere in the middle lies possession with intent to distribute: a serious offense that arises when law enforcement or investigators have reason to believe an individual intends to sell drugs.

How can an officer justify such a charge? The amount of a controlled substance and the types of drug paraphernalia found in the accused’s possession play a role. Possession in this case can either mean physical possession (found on the person) or constructive possession (found in a place controlled by the person).

We Offer Clients Experienced Representation

Our attorneys at Cohen & Hirsch have vast experience in defending clients against drug crime accusations of possession with intent to distribute throughout Georgia, including those in DeKalb County and beyond.

We strive to have charges against our clients reduced or dismissed by challenging the evidence brought against them. This could involve uncovering law enforcement’s procedural errors, violations of the accused’s rights during investigations or arrest, or providing evidence that our client was falsely accused.

Law Enforcement Procedures Can Influence The Outcome Of Your Case

We have seen cases where individuals are pulled over for minor traffic violations and end up having their vehicles searched. During the search, the officer may uncover some amount of marijuana, cocaine or another controlled substance. He or she may also find baggies, scales or other items commonly connected with sale of a controlled substance.

These connections do not necessarily mean an individual intended to sell drugs. Furthermore, the officer may not have had probable cause to search the vehicle. Situations like these offer opportunities to suppress evidence, and otherwise minimize the consequences of a criminal charge.

Do Not Give In — Stand Up For Your Rights And Your Future

When you retain us, we will thoroughly investigate everything that happened to you, from the initial investigation to whether or not your rights were protected through criminal procedures at the police station. Our lawyers will work with you personally to develop a defense strategy and aggressively protect your rights in courtroom proceedings.
