Criminal Defense for the Accused—Not the Accused-by-Default
Charged with a Serious Crime? You Need a Defense That Fights Back.
Charged with a serious felony in Houston? I take the cases other attorneys avoid—and I don’t back down.
You’re here because you—or someone you care about—is in real trouble. Not a slap-on-the-wrist, pay-a-fine kind of situation. Real trouble. That’s the only kind of case I take.
I’m Alan Cohen, a criminal defense attorney in Houston with more than 35 years of experience fighting for people accused of sex crimes, aggravated assault, and other serious felonies. I don’t waste your time with empty promises. I deliver strategy, action, and results.
01
I focus on serious charges
No DWIs. No petty theft. I defend the toughest cases with everything I’ve got.
02
I answer my own phone
You won’t be passed off to a paralegal or associate.
03
I Don't Sugarcoat
I won’t tell you what you want to hear. I’ll tell you what you need to know to win.
04
I Have Decades of Experience
When everything feels uncertain, I bring the clarity and experience you need to move forward.
Practice Focus
Sex Crimes Defense
Aggravated sexual assault, indecency with a child, and false accusations can ruin lives before a trial even begins. I know how to challenge credibility, pick apart evidence, and protect your name from being dragged through the mud.
Violent Crimes Defense
Assault. Domestic violence. Attempted murder. I take on emotionally charged cases where context is everything. I don’t let a one-sided narrative become your legacy.
Murder & Homicide Charges
Facing life behind bars? You need experience that speaks in court, not just in ads. I’ve defended clients against capital murder charges and walked out with dismissals.
Weapon & Firearm Charges
Texas takes weapons charges seriously—especially with prior convictions. I fight enhancements and know how to dismantle prosecution arguments.
You don’t need just a salesman; you need someone who understands the challenges and knows how to navigate them.
That’s why clients reach out to me first, and why prosecutors recognize that I come prepared and focused on getting results.
