Laura Coss Ensures Clients’ Stories Are Heard When Facing Life-Altering Charges
Defendants in criminal cases often find themselves without a real voice in the criminal justice system. For this reason, experienced attorneys are essential — they ensure the system treats everyone fairly.
“You can be part of a group and still be (an individual) — that’s the way you should be treated. In the world of criminal law, a lot of people are working toward the same goal of having things be more copacetic,” Laura Coss said, a defense attorney with Cohen Law Offices (17 S Barstow St.) in Eau Claire.
For almost 35 years, Michael Cohen has defended the rights of clients across Western and Northwestern Wisconsin, ensuring that people are innocent until proven guilty.
His team at Cohen Law Offices practices this philosophy everyday, defending clients against a wide range of charges, including sex crimes, Homicides, drug charges, arson, assault and theft.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Coss holds law degrees from the University of Notre Dame. While she has had a wide range of career experiences — including as a law clerk, defense attorney, prosecutor, and now her current role — criminal defense law remains her passion.
Attorney Coss has the knowledge and experience necessary to be a formidable advocate for the clients of Cohen Law Offices.
She knows that every case is a big deal to the client, and therefore is a big deal for her and the firm.
“We take the time to listen to the clients’ stories. We try to meet (the clients) where they are at in this moment of their lives to be able to do all we can to give them the best outcome for their case.” Coss said.
“You can be part of a group and still be (an individual) — that’s the way you should be treated. We take the time to listen to the clients’ stories.”
Coss believes every client deserves dedicated and caring representation, especially when a case becomes complex or overwhelming.
“You can be professional and accessible in the same handshake,” Coss said. “A good lawyer is capable of taking pretty complex arguments and boiling it down, so 12 people who have never had any legal training at all are entrusted with making the biggest decision in somebody’s life.”
A large portion of Coss’s caseload involves clients who contact her before any court charges have been filed. Many people may not realize that legal assistance is also available at this stage. Getting ahead of a potential problem is critical.
A consultation with Cohen Law Offices can clarify your options and provide valuable support, taking just a few minutes of your time.
The Eau Claire-based law office actively serves clients in over 20 cities and communities across northwestern Wisconsin.
Coss and the Cohen Law Offices team are committed to breaking down these barriers; upholding the principle that defendants are innocent until proven guilty.
