The Responsibilities of Our Montgomery County Criminal Defense Lawyer
Providing a thorough criminal defense involves handling many complex legal tasks. We offer:
Confidentiality
Anything you share with our legal team is held in the highest confidence. That means what you share with us stays with us. We want to know everything about the circumstances of the alleged crime, including how police handled the arrest, your mental faculties at the time of your arrest, and other relevant matters.
Case Evaluations
To build the strongest possible defense, we must evaluate and understand the facts of your situation. We look for any evidence that the police screwed things up or otherwise didn’t gather evidence properly. If so, we can use this information to suppress evidence later.
Comprehensive Investigations
We don’t take the prosecutor’s word for what happened. We conduct our own independent investigation into what happened before, during, and after the alleged incident. Supporting evidence in your case could include:
- Witness accounts
- Security camera, dash cam, or traffic camera footage
- The details of the arrest report
- Forensic evidence, such as the results of a blood alcohol test
Our criminal defense team aims to show the State cannot prove the case against you beyond a reasonable doubt. That way, you can walk away from this tiring ordeal with your rights and peace of mind intact.
Assistance in All Bureaucratic Matters
You’d be surprised at the amount of paperwork involved in a criminal defense case. On your own, it’s easy for these items to get lost in the shuffle. With our team, however, you don’t have to worry about anything. We take care of pre-trial motions, the submission of evidence, and other matters on your behalf.
Plea Negotiations
There are some instances where, even for our skilled defense team, an acquittal isn’t possible. In those instances, we may negotiate with the prosecution for a plea deal. For instance, if you’re facing a DWI charge, we may negotiate to have the charges reduced to reckless driving. This could limit the penalties you face and promote your freedom.
Court Representation
If your case goes to trial, to secure your freedom, Attorney Jay Blass Cohen will present evidence, interview and cross-examine witnesses, and fight to get your case dismissed. We don’t settle for anything less than the best possible outcome, and neither should you.
These are just some of the tasks our Montgomery County criminal defense team takes on. We go beyond and above to prove your innocence and secure a not guilty verdict.
Your Defense Lawyer Protects You From a Conviction
We advocate for Texans from all walks of life, from college students facing DWIs to rodeo winners accused of murder. More specifically, Attorney Jay Blass Cohen protects his clients from:
Misdemeanors
You might hear that misdemeanors aren’t “as serious” as felonies. Don’t be fooled. You should take a misdemeanor charge just as seriously as a capital offense. That being said, we advocate for people facing:

Up to one year in jail
Maximum fine of up to $4,000
Example: 2nd offense DWI, assault on a family member
- Class B misdemeanors

Fine of up to $2,000
Example: 1st offense DWI
- Class C misdemeanors
No jail time
Fine of up to $500
Example: Traffic citations
Felonies
Felonies are considered the most severe charges in Texas. They include sexual assault, homicide, and aggravated assault. The penalties of a felony conviction include:
- Third degree felony
2–10 years in prison
Fine of up to $10,000, possible community supervision
Example: 3rd offense DWI, assault on a family member with a previous conviction
- Second degree felony
2–20 years in prison
Fine of up to $10,000
Example: Drug possession with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled
substance
- First degree felony
5–99 years or life in prison
Fine of up to $10,000, possible community supervision
Example: Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
At Blass Law, we don’t hold back when protecting you from these and other consequences. We take on your fight like it’s our future on the line.
