About Alan Cohen – A Defender by Nature, Not by Marketing


Criminal defense isn't a marketing slogan to me—it's personal. For more than 35 years, I’ve made it my mission to stand between the accused and the full weight of the criminal justice system. Not for praise. Not for headlines. But because everyone deserves a voice—especially when the stakes are this high.

The man is wearing glasses and a bow tie.

I’ve spent my career defending people charged with the most serious crimes under Texas law—aggravated sexual assault, domestic violence, armed robbery, and murder. These aren't the cases lawyers take for prestige. They're messy. They're misunderstood. But they matter. That’s why I take them.


Over the years, I’ve helped countless clients navigate the legal storm—from frightened teenagers to working professionals to wrongly accused parents. I’ve gotten cases dismissed, charges reduced, and juries to see the human being behind the headlines.

I believe in preparation, precision, and never underestimating the other side. Prosecutors are aggressive. Judges are impatient. Juries are skeptical. If you want a shot at justice, you need someone who's been here before—and won.



I won’t promise miracles. I’ll promise the truth. And I’ll fight like hell to defend yours.
