About Jay Cohen

Trust a Lawyer With Many Years of Experience

A Winning DWI Defense Law Firm in the state of Texas

Remember, being charged with a DWI, or juvenile DUI does not mean you are guilty.

DWI is an opinion crime. This means a police officer forms an opinion of your condition and can charge you based on that opinion. However, you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and our DWI lawyers in Texas will strive to maintain and protect your innocence.

From drug, assault, and Texas DWI cases to no-refusal weekends and mandatory blood draws, we understand how lab analysts test urine and blood samples and process evidence. This knowledge is crucial when defending drunk driving cases.

That means our Texas DWI Lawyers can build your defense as soon as you are charged with a crime.

Whether you are facing DWI charges, it is in your best interest to have a Texas DWI lawyer in your corner. When your freedom is on the line, you do not want to leave your future in the hands of anyone other than the most skilled representation you can afford.

Texas DWI Defense

Police officers must have a valid reason to stop you. If your stop is illegal, a lawyer will suppress all evidence. Police officers sometimes obtain evidence illegally during traffic stops. The prosecution cannot use this evidence against you.

For example, if the police or other law enforcement searched your vehicle without your consent or a warrant, your Texas DWI lawyer would suppress the evidence. This is just one example of the many defense strategies we can use to avoid guilty verdicts in these cases.

Our DWI lawyers in Texas are experts in field sobriety tests, urine and blood tests, and how blood alcohol content is measured. Our experienced attorneys can uncover inaccuracies in each of these tests to help you avoid the automatic suspension of your license and keep you out of jail.

Mr. Cohen is an amazing lawyer. About 17 months ago, my life was turned upside down with a first-degree felony charge for intent to deliver 200-400 grams of a controlled substance. Due to intensive research, Mr. Cohen was able to get my case dismissed due to prolonged detention and provide me with a second chance at life.

Tyler Berry

Huge thanks to Jay and his firm! Highly recommend him if you find yourself needing legal representation. I don’t have the words to explain my gratitude or thanks for the services which were provided. Very professional. Jay always was there, answering questions along the way. Without a doubt, I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you find yourself needing DWI representation, as I did, do not hesitate to give him a call. Jason R., Cypress, TX

Jason Rawls

Mr. Cohen was recommended to me by another attorney for my DUI case, who had nothing but great things to say about him. Professional and aggressive. Listens to you. Immediately saw how wrong my arrest was. He kept me informed and was successful in my defense. Took a very dark time, continued to reassure me and gave me hope. Excellent representation! NOT GUILTY! He will always be a brother to me.

Charles Garcia

I contacted Jay last year after I had been arrested and charged with a Class B misdemeanor. I was worried about being convicted of this crime, but Jay always assured me he would fight to get the best outcome possible for me. He was clear about the legal process. Anytime I had questions, he quickly responded. Several months later, Jay got the case thrown out! I was shocked that he could get this result, and I greatly appreciate the work he put in to clear this up. If you need a lawyer, call Jay! He is the man.

Jake S.

I used Jay Cohen for my first (and only) DWI. I gotta say I made the BEST decision going with Jay and his team. Not only was my case dismissed after six months on the dot, but his attention and guidance through it all really helped me achieve my dismissal. Thank you, Jay and Leslie, for guiding me through it and ALWAYS being available even through the pandemic. Go with Blass Law; you won’t regret it!!
