About Me
Ms. Cohen graduated with high honors and in the top 10 percent of her class in in 1981 from Widener University School of Law, Wilmington, Delaware. She was chosen to join the prestigious law review for the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law. Following law school, she was chosen to clerk for the Hon. George J. Ivins who was in charge of the homicide program in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. She then accepted an appointment to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office under the Honorable Edward G. Rendell, as an Assistant Philadelphia District Attorney.
A number of years later, with a strong foundation of criminal prosecution beneath her feet, Ms. Cohen moved to South Jersey and was appointed assistant prosecutor in the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office under the Hon. Lee Solomon. As an assistant prosecutor, she litigated complex motions for the State, was an acting Camden City Municipal Prosecutor, and indicted over 800 cases before the Camden County Grand Jury.
Ms. Cohen handled hundreds of indictable/felony and juvenile cases and tried numerous jury trials, in areas such as drug possession and distribution, school zone violations, domestic violence, aggravated assault, fraud, burglary, robbery, child sexual assault, child physical abuse, homicides, attempted murder and other crimes of magnitude.
In addition to a private practice, she currently works with Deputy Public Defenders in Atlantic, Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties, to defend homicides, sexual assaults, murder-for-hire, gang violence, armed robberies, fraud, leaders of drug trafficking networks, as well as other significant matters.
