I am thrilled to write this 5-star review for Lisa Polanski, the incredible attorney who represented me during a challenging legal situation. From the moment I hired Lisa, her professionalism, dedication, and expertise were evident, and I am forever grateful for her exceptional work. Lisa’s negotiation skills with the federal prosecutors were nothing short of remarkable. She managed to secure a reduction in my 20-year charge to just 2 years, surpassing all my expectations. Her strategic approach, persuasive arguments, and unwavering commitment to my case were instrumental in achieving this favorable outcome. Lisa’s ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system is truly impressive. What sets Lisa apart is her genuine interest in understanding the uniqueness of each case. She invested significant time and effort to thoroughly research and familiarize herself with every aspect of my situation. Her atten

By far the best results I could have gotten! Josiah Cohen was there for me from the minute I spoke on the phone with him in reference to my legal issues. The day after I had first spoke with Mr. Cohen I called to ask a couple quick questions. Before I had agreed to hire him or even paid him a dollar, he told me he was very glad to hear back from me and he had been up late the night before strategizing how he could fight for justice in my case. In that moment, this small gesture brought tears of hope I couldn’t restrain. I knew he was going to fight for me full on and not give up. I felt heard, appreciated, and for the first time I had felt like I might make it through this terrible time. I strongly recommend Josiah Cohen and Polanski Law Firm to anyone who needs legal assistance with a DUI (even multiple) or any criminal charges. I want to give hope to others, that there is a light at the end of the darkness and Josiah Cohen helped guide my way back to that light.

Josiah was eager to take my case and fight it with a passion. From our first conversation going over the issue to our conversation regarding dismissal of all charges, Josiah was communicative, responsive, and helpful in terms of explaining the overall process. He vigorously went to bat for me and was prepared to do whatever it took to see that my rights and due process were not infringed. I am very lucky to have found Josiah and recommend him and the Polansky Law Firm without reservation.

Josiah Cohen is an absolute stellar attorney. Not only was he compassionate from the moment he first spoke with me, he was incredibly skilled and zealous in his advocacy for the entirety of the case. He is one of the best lawyers I've ever seen in trial, and I honestly can't sing enough of his praise. I feel very lucky that I had him as my attorney because he is the cream of the crop. If you are ever unfortunate enough to need an attorney, your fortune can only flip a 180 by hiring Josiah. He cares beyond measure, and will stand with you every step of the way, and delivers incredible, detailed, polished work product.

Josiah was professional and courteous. His no nonsense approach and competence made me feel confident he would own my legal interests and go the distance to get the job done. He made sure to inform me completely before any moves he made. That’s a lawyer I can trust. Thanks Josiah!

10/10 recommend. Josiah went above and beyond for me. He worked his butt off and did the unthinkable within two months time. I was facing a prison sentence of 12-32 years. He managed to get the DA to agree to no jail and 3 years probation. What a relief it was! I’m super grateful for what Josiah and Lisa have done for me and would recommend them to any of my friends, family or strangers. Super pleasant to be around, very communicative, have a ton of experience and knowledge in all fields.

Mr. Cohen did a good job of setting expectations, and then exceeded them. My case was dismissed and I couldn't be happier with the quality of service. Mr. Cohen performed a very thorough investigation and kept me up to date on what was happening with my case, as well as why.

We worked with Valerie Cole and she was exceptional. She has a unique way as an attorney of being thoughtful, and yet very direct and to the point. She doesn't swing up and down, always calm and professional. She sees the big picture and it was obvious that she did her research and was prepared and genuinely believable. She was great at explaining situations, strategy, and information while also being realistic and not giving false hope. At each point, she set our expectations, gave us insights that we needed to be prepared, and was available for our questions. In court, she confidently spoke and questioned, and held her ground without being overbearing or insulting to the others in the room. We had a great experience working with Valerie Cole & Lisa Polansky.

I have known Lisa Polansky in a professional capacity for almost 25 years. We practiced together in the Los Angeles County Public Defender Office. Ms Polansky is one of the best lawyers with whom I have had the pleasure of working. She is dedicated, highly ethical and tenacious . I have on more than one occasion sought her advice and referred clients to her in Colorado. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms Polansky for any type of criminal case, including juvenile cases.

Lisa’s smart & Detail Oriented. She Will Out Work & Out Smart Anyone In A Court Room. When They Pushed She Pushed Back Even Harder. When I Walked In With Her At My Side The Attmosphere Completly Changed. When They Seen Her, They All Knew Who She Was. One prosecuter even wished Another prosecutor “Good Luck Going Up Against Her”. That Alone Speaks For Itself. I Am Forever Grateful. There is NO ONE I Would Ever Trust With My Life Other Then Lisa Polansky.

Amanda Borsman helped me to seal a lingering 7-year-old petty offense that was misunderstood by the judicial system wether it could be sealed or not. This offense was so minor yet it drastically affected my life (background checks) and was from a very bad time that I had done much work to be rehabilitated. She was very positive and supportive that we would win and we did.
