Ms. Coysh's leadership and scholarship, often recognized by her colleagues, led them to elect her as President of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association.

In 2021, Ms. Coysh had the privilege moderating the Suffolk County District Attorney Candidate Debate between then District Attorney Timothy D. Sini and current District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney.

Ms. Coysh is also a Director of the Suffolk County Bar Association, one of the largest voluntary Bar Associations in the State of New York. Prior to being elected Director, Ms. Coysh served on the Judicial Screening Committee and as Co-Chair of the Criminal Law Committee. Ms. Coysh now serves as the Board liaison to both the Criminal Law and County Court Committee.

In 2022, Ms. Coysh earned the distinction of being a Super Lawyer. In 2019, Ms. Coysh's peers also recognized her as one of the handful of attorneys in all of New York State to deserve the honor of being a Super Lawyer ‘Rising Star' for her professional achievements.

Prior to entering private practice, Ms. Coysh was a staff attorney with The Legal Aid Society of Suffolk County, Criminal Division, where she was later hired as a Supervising Attorney for its District Court Bureau.

Ms. Coysh began her legal career in Boston, Massachusetts where she practiced criminal law at a boutique firm upon graduation. During her tenure, Ms. Coysh assisted in the freeing of a wrongfully convicted man who spent twenty-two years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
