David Cohen is an experienced criminal defense attorney. He has tried over 45 state and federal criminal cases to juries and briefed and argued more than 60 state and federal criminal appeals. He has experience working in both major law firms and the government. He has defended criminal cases, both state and federal, large and small, first as a federal public defender in San Diego, California, then as a partner in firms he has founded and managed.
Mr. Cohen began his legal career in New York City, practicing with two well-known law firms, Brown & Wood, L.L.P. and Kostelanetz Ritholz Tigue & Fink. At Kostelanetz Ritholz, a nationally recognized white collar criminal defense firm, Mr. Cohen successfully defended a number of criminal and civil cases, including the defense at trial of an individual alleged to have violated the federal laws against hijacking and winning judgment in a federal tax court case involving the use of a complex tax shelter.
Mr. Cohen then relocated to California. He joined the Federal Defenders of San Diego, Inc., widely acknowledged to be one of the best public defender offices in the country. As a trial attorney at Federal Defender's of San Diego, Inc., he defended hundreds of criminal defendants on a wide variety of matters ranging from drug offenses and violent crimes to complex fraud cases. Despite limited resources, he was able to win acquittal, hung jury, or dismissal in the majority of cases he tried at the federal defenders office. He also lectured on criminal defense topics, and authored an article for the Federal Defender Manual, which is nationally circulated. Since 1996, Mr. Cohen has been successfully practicing criminal defense in California. He is a certified specialist in criminal law, and appears regularly in state and federal trial courts and in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He recently was the co-author of a chapter in the CEB publication "Scientific Evidence in Criminal Trials." This manual is used by criminal defense attorneys throughout California. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, one of the top law schools in the United States.
