Cohen, Michael B, ATY

Criminal Defense
Throughout many years of service as a Florida and federal prosecutor as well as in private practice, Mr. Cohen has established a reputation as a tough litigator. As a criminal defense lawyer, he has represented his clients in many major court cases. Listed below are some of these noteworthy cases. State v. Owran Green
DUI/DWI
Although DUI cases are not tried by juries in all fifty states, Florida does allow this option. But less than 10 percent of these types of cases ever go before a jury for trial.
Traffic Violations
You have the options of pleading guilty as charged; trying to have the charge brought down to a lesser charge such as reckless driving, or asking for a trial before a judge or jury.
Sex Crimes
The Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.172 oversees Petitions to Vacate Guilty Pleas. In circumstances where a client decides to plead guilty to an unlawful offense rather than executing their right to a jury trial it will be up to a judge to make certain that the defendant's plea is voluntary as applies to this rule of criminal procedure. In some instances, at a change of plea hearing, defendants are not given the proper advice by their lawyers, thus leading them to plead guilty to misdemeanors and felonies before a time when a judge has asked them if their plea has been submitted voluntarily. A plea of guilty to such crimes can result in several adverse consequences once it is acknowledged. These consequences can include the right to vote, own a weapon, obtain a driver's license or have it revoked, as well as the possibility of civil commitment after a jail sentence in certain sex offenses. Other penalties can be the right among others to legally remain in the United States after a plea to a felony relating to moral turpitude, or in the case of a misdemeanor concerning domestic violence. Many attorneys are unacquainted with the fact that guilty pleas which result in adjudication being withheld under state law (non-convictions) are yet considered a conviction for federal purposes although they may consider that no conviction would be enacted in such cases.
Fraud
This section of this Website will deal with fraud cases specific to those perpetrated by wire. These alleged crimes utilize either wire, such as a telephone or telegraph, or making use of radio and/or television as well as transmission via the Internet. Mr. Cohen's Law Firm specializes in federal charges such as wire fraud.
Robbery
In the early 1980's I was assigned the responsibility of prosecuting a Hobbs Act Robbery (a federal crime) which occurred at the Little River Post Office in Miami.
Burglary

Our first goal is to get your case dismissed or to have you acquitted. When this cannot be done, we then use all existing legal maneuvers to diminish the consequences.
Theft
Misdemeanors
A charge of fraud covers a wide scope of crimes tried either in federal or state court depending on where the fraud occurred and whether it was perpetrated under federal or state jurisdiction. Although mostly tried as felonies, there are rare instances where a fraud case can be tried as a misdemeanor. However, to be tried as such, a limited loss would have to be been suffered by the victim of the fraud.
Drug Crimes
The penalties for a conviction for federal firearm charges in cases involving drug trafficking or violence are very severe with mandatory minimum sentences of five, seven, ten and thirty years for a first time offender. These convictions will also be served consecutively as opposed to concurrently which can create an exceedingly prolonged sentence when combined or "*
Assault
Murder
If you, a loved one, or someone close to you is charged with the involvement of a contract killing or conspiracy to commit murder for hire, a conviction will result with an extremely punitive sentence. It is of critical importance to hire an attorney who is an expert relating to these allegations whether the charges are brought forward by the state or the federal government. My law office is experienced in the defense of federal accusations as well as charges under the directive of the laws of the state of Florida. Even if the case is dismissed or a verdict of not guilty is reached at trial, the mere implications of a charge such as this can have a shattering effect on your life. But also keep in mind; any convictions for a federal crime are usually very steep and impose long prison sentences.
Probation Violation
If a person violates the terms of his probation or community control he may be taken into custody and face a probation violation hearing; If convicted a defendant may be sentenced to the full term of his original statutory charge; skilled defense counsel must therefor be familiar with the law concerning probation violations; Probation violations must be intentional and if they are not this lack of intentional conduct may be raised. as a defense at the probation violation hearing;

Kidnapping
Any crime that’s commission occurred involving the crossing of state lines will be prosecuted as a federal crime although certain crimes committed within a state can fall under the category of a federal crime charges by definition. Some of these offenses are kidnapping, violation of an individual’s civil rights, conspiracy to defraud the government, terrorism and many others. A federal crime can also be charged if any U.S. Congressional statute is violated.
Manslaughter
I have been handling DUI's since I was a young prosecutor in 1979. I learned the basic tenets of how to prosecute these crimes when I was a prosecutor in the County Court Division of the Broward County State Attorney's office, This experience translated itself into the knowledge I have used effectively in representing my clients in this area of the law whether it consists of clients charged with DUI's after previous DUI convictions or in the most serious of cases like DUI Manslaughter where serious periods of incarceration can be faced by my clients.
Internet Crimes
If you or someone you care about is charged with a computer or Internet crime you need an attorney who is experienced in federal law as well as laws relating to the underlying offense.
Prostitution
Capone was the kingpin of a criminal enterprise based out of Chicago who for many years was under investigation for multiple gangland murders, illegal gambling, prostitution and extortion rackets, as well as the illegal manufacture, trafficking and sale of consumable alcohol which had been made illegal under the Volstead Act that started Prohibition in the United States in 1919 under the Eighteenth Amendment. He was also under investigation for witness tampering among many other disreputable criminal charges.
Extortion
In the early 1920's, the organization assisted in exposing attempts to extort money from owners of commercial properties, which ultimately brought an Indictment of the president of the Building Service Employees International Union, William Quesse. This Indictment eventually led to his imprisonment. They also set their sights on fledgling unethical unions in the grocery industry, asserting acts of vandalism and extortion as well as bombings. They later put pressure on unions in Chicago's ice and milk industries, accusing the unions of extortion, blackmail, illegal price fixing as well as launching anti-competitive consortiums.

Business and Corporate Law

Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Unfair Competition
In 1978 I received my second law degree in Trade Regulation from the New York University School of Law which encompasses the practice of trademark, copyright, patent law, and unfair competition litigation.

Real Estate Transactions
Russo who is a licensed real estate sales broker fraudulently purchased 8 properties which eventually concluded in foreclosure, subsequently producing losses of investment to the investors of in excess of more than $1.7 million according to the U.S. Attorney's office. He was sentenced this week to 21 months in prison.
Property Damage
Summing up the penalties of driving under the influence of alcohol; any DUI is a crime. If a DUI is committed causing any property damage it’s a first-degree misdemeanor. A charge of DUI which results in serious bodily injury to another individual is a third-degree felony. An instance of a DUI conviction which resulted in the death of another person is categorized as DUI manslaughter which can be either a first or second degree felony, contingent on the circumstances of the crime. There's an App for That!
