Broward County Public Defender

Gena Cohen is one of thee BEST attorneys that I have ever had!!! So much so that I even had to make Mrs Lopez aware of how pleased, impressed and appreciative that I am. Dealing with, or having "public defenders" has this sort of bad stigma attached to it. That they don't care, or they work for/ with state attorney. That could very well be true, (highly doubtful) but in my situation once Mrs Cohen was assigned to my case, everything FINALLY FELL INTO PLACE after over 17 months of wasting my time, my life and my health. Granted now I WAS VERY PROACTIVE!! I DID MY RESEARCH, DILIGENCE to help protect myself, which in turn helps Mrs.Cohen do her job much more efficiently and then gives me a better outcome! She has HUNDREDS of other cases she is constantly dealing with....CONSTANTLY! I can

Incompetent and dishonest. My pd should have been disbarred for what he did but it wasnt worth my time to file a complaint and the judge made no referral to the Florida Bar.

Could not get through to anyone! It kept going over and over. Never did get through to anyone there even the voice mail messages were full👎

Nobody ever answers the phone not even the operator they claim your waiting for. As soon as I listened to the options the phone hangs right up.

**BE AWARE** Any and all phone/email communication between you and your public defender will be accessible by the State Attorney prosecuting you.
