“If you want someone who is going to get stuff done, I highly recommend Cohen and Hirsch. Not only did I beat my case, I even got my record cleaned.”

“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.”

Guiding You Through Theft and Fraud Crimes Accusations

Being charged with theft by shoplifting, theft by taking, and other theft and fraud crimes can have very serious consequences. At Cohen & Hirsch our lawyers take these charges very seriously. We work closely with our clients from the moment we take your case and guide you through the legal system toward a favorable outcome. We’ve helped people throughout DeKalb, Cobb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties.

If you or someone you love has been accused of theft or fraud crimes, we can answer your questions and help you determine the right criminal defense strategy for your unique situation.

Are you charged with theft by taking from an employer? Many times a company will blame every financial shortage they have on an accused employee. Cohen & Hirsch will work diligently to assure that if you are charged with theft by taking from an employer that you are not falsely accused by a company trying to account for unrelated financial losses.

Our attorneys also represent individuals who have been charged with having stolen goods in their possession.

We Seek To Protect Your Freedom And Reputation

Theft crimes can be very serious charges which can carry felony punishment of up to a 10-year sentence. In addition to up to a 10-year sentence you may be facing a large restitution amount to be paid to the alleged victim and to be tacked on to your sentence. The attorneys at Cohen & Hirsch will work diligently on your behalf to attack the charges and secure the best possible outcome for your situation.

If the situation of your theft case calls for a negotiated resolution, you can count on the attorneys at Cohen & Hirsch to professionally and discreetly negotiate on your behalf with your best interests in mind.

At the Cohen & Hirsch, our attorneys represent people who have been accused of fraud crimes in DeKalb County and throughout the Greater Atlanta Metro area. These white collar crimes can have a serious impact on your future, so we take the charges seriously. We prepare your case for trial by building a strong and effective criminal defense that takes into account the facts of your case.

Defending Clients In Many Fraud Situations

We handle many different types of fraud, including:

  • Check fraud
  • Bank deposit account fraud
  • Fraud activity or false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding
  • Bribery
  • Using a computer to commit fraudulent acts
  • Forgery
  • Defrauding government agencies
  • Healthcare-related fraud
  • Medicare and Medicaid fraud
  • Mail and wire fraud
  • Mortgage fraud
  • Public corruption
  • Securities fraud
  • Tax fraud
  • Credit card fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Counterfeiting

Many of the cases we handle involve the alleged theft of ATM cards. In these cases, defendants face charges relating to both the theft and use of the card (financial transaction card theft and financial transaction card fraud) — even if these separate charges relate to only one event. Prosecutors often use the double charges as leverage in your case. They agree to drop on if you plead to the other. Many lawyers encourage you to take this deal. However, it is not always the best way to protect your interests.

At the Cohen & Hirsch, our lawyers have the experience necessary to achieve the best possible results in your fraud case. Settlement isn’t always the best option. In fraud cases, like other areas of criminal defense, we do not hesitate to take your case to trial if necessary.

Our Legal Team Represents Your Best Interests

If you are accused of theft by shoplifting or theft by taking from a corporation and you try to negotiate your way out of it on your own, the corporation often will want you to sign your rights away in order to get you to agree to a payment plan or a guilty plea. The corporations have lawyers working for them and you should have experienced attorneys working for you.
