Bio: Rapidly becoming one of the Cohen Defense Group’s most experienced trial attorneys, Zachary Merliss is a fierce litigator. He has been recognized by SuperLawyers Magazine as a Northern California Rising Star in the field of DUI defense, chosen by the National Trial Lawyers as one of the “Top 40 Under 40” in California for criminal defense, and selected as a Sacramento Magazine “Top Lawyer”. Zach’s litigation talents are particularly well-suited to fighting DUI and drug charges. An active member of the National College for DUI Defense, Zach hones his skills by undergoing the same training programs that qualify police officers for DUI investigation: he successfully completed the 3-day “Standardized Field Sobriety Test Academy” and the 2-day “Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement Training” designed for experienced police officers. He also attended a 6-day “Serious Science” seminar where he personally prepared blood alcohol samples in a lab. Going the extra mile to get this kind of training gives Zach the upper hand when it comes to cross examining prosecution witnesses and dismantling the DA’s case against his client. Zach seeks out special training because, as he says, “Everyone deserves protection under the constitution, but you need a skilled advocate to invoke those protections. California has been passing more favorable laws for DUI and drug cases and I’m happy to be able to use those laws for my clients’ benefit.”

Bio: 22 years experience in all areas of criminal defense with a concentration in the defense of those accused of DUI.
