Kristie Cohen graduated from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI in 2006 with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Legal Studies. While attending Eastern Michigan, Ms. Cohen was engaged in a double bachelor’s program for Legal Studies and Psychology, with minors in chemistry and biology. Also, while attending Eastern Michigan, Ms. Cohen worked for the school’s legal clinic and also participated in an internship at the Washtenaw County Public Defender’s Office.. While attending law school she clerked for the Honorable Dennis Powers in the 52nd District Court in Michigan, where she coordinated the Judge’s docket, wrote judicial opinions and helped the Judge write a Michigan Bar Review Article.. After graduating from law school, Ms. Cohen pursued her chosen path as a criminal defense attorney working for the Public Defender of the 19th Circuit in Indian River County. Her time at the Public Defender’s Office started by defending juvenile and misdemeanor cases. After a few months, Ms. Cohen was promoted and took over the defense of all County Court cases for the office and both Divisions for Indian River County. In just under a year Ms. Cohen was again promoted to a felony division, handling all felony cases and clients with all criminal designations. Ms. Cohen also began working on and learning major crimes cases such as murder and capital sexual battery. Ms. Cohen sat as 2nd chair on her first murder trial in 2010 and was in charge of the medical testimony and the bulk of the defense. Also, since she had a background and education in psychology, she was given a majority of the cases that had mental heath issues, NGI (not guilty by insanity) defenses or competency issues. Ms. Cohen became very well versed with how criminal law and mental health intersect and the ways to protect clients who have mental health issues. Ms. Cohen worked for the Public Defender of the 19th Circuit until 2011 and tried over 60 jury trials in her time there.. After leaving the 19th Circuit she accepted a position with the Broward County Public Defender’s Office and worked there until July 2017, when she went into private practice. During her time at the Broward County Public Defender’s Office she worked in several felony divisions and on several major crimes cases.. She was the lead Public Defender in several different divisions over her years at the office and focused mainly on first degree and life felony cases. Ms. Cohen mainly handled major crimes cases such as First-Degree Murder, Arson, Trafficking, Robbery Firearm, Carjacking and Sexual Battery. Her clients ranged from first time offenders to multi-convicted offenders, and she has extensive knowledge of every enhancement and designation, such as PRR (Prison Release Reoffender), HO (Habitual Offender), and HVO (Habitual Violent Offender). Ms. Cohen is also 2nd-chair-qualified to work on death penalty cases.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury, Litigation
I spent the first several years of my career in general practice and family law litigation. For the last 4 years, I have chosen to use my experiences, both professionally and personally, to better serve people who have been injured through no fault of their own. Not many personal injury attorneys understand the pain and suffering that comes from a motor vehicle accident like I do. I was in a motor vehicle collision in January 2010 in which I suffered a serious injury. Drawing from my own life experience, I understand how to sucessfully navigate the legal system and I can communicate exactly how my clients feel and what they are going through to get the best result.. When I am not in the courtroom, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and rarely miss a Bronco game or a Nebraska Cornhusker game. As a Colorado native, I love the outdoors and try to spend as much time as I can camping and fishing with my family. I am also hopeful to get back on the slopes again soon.
