“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.”

Representing Minors In Juvenile Court

At Cohen & Hirsch, we believe children should be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Located in Atlanta, our lawyers provide strong, effective criminal defense representation to Georgia’s youth.

The juvenile criminal justice system is very different from the adult system. Where the juvenile system seeks to educate and rehabilitate, the adult system seeks to punish. As a parent, it is important to find attorneys who understand the difference, and will work to help your child overcome his or her legal challenges and find the path to a better future.

Combating Burglary, Vandalism And Drug Charges

Our attorneys act as strong legal advocates to juveniles charged with crimes. We value your child’s future, and do everything in our power to ensure his or her life’s opportunities are not limited by a bad decision made as a youth.

If your child was charged with a crime — such as defacing school property, possession of marijuana or fighting — you may be worried about the long-term effect this charge will have on his or her life. Our lawyers are experienced and aggressive juvenile criminal defense professionals. We understand the special nuances of the juvenile criminal justice system and build strategic defenses that help minors overcome their legal challenges.

We use every legal tool available to secure alternative forms of restitution — such as community service and alcohol treatment programs — to keep our minor clients out of jail, and provide them with the education and opportunities they need to change their behaviors and prevent additional criminal charges from arising in the future.

Georgia’s Seven Deadly Sins

Under state law, children aged 13 to 17 can be charged as adults for certain crimes. Known as the seven deadly sins, these crimes include:

Murder
Rape
Armed robbery
Aggravated child molestation
Aggravated sodomy
Aggravated sexual battery
Voluntary manslaughter

If your child was charged with one of these crimes, he or she is at risk of being prosecuted as an adult. At Cohen & Hirsch, we believe children should be treated as children. Our attorneys work hard to protect our minor clients, keep them in juvenile court and ensure they are given a chance at rehabilitation.
