Excellent Attorney for Legal Representation

I have had the pleasure of retaining Jon Von Kohorn for legal representation in my post divorce proceedings. Jon has been a pleasure to work with as he is always available via text, email, and yes...even phone! Jon is easily approachable, has a firm grasp of divorce law in the State of CT, and insi...ghtful. HIGHLY recommend.

Excellent lawyer

I'm so happy and relieved with the judgement that Jon was able to get for me. He was extremely professional throughout and has an exceptional grasp of divorce and family law. I could not be happier and his fees are very reasonable Thank you Jon!

Highly recommend this attorney!

I had the good fortune of calling Jon to represent me for my divorce. From our first conversation he displayed knowledge of family law, professionalism, patience and kindness. Further, he was more than accommodating to my very busy schedule often agreeing to meet me on weekends for appointments! It ...is my opinion that anyone would be fortunate to have Jon and his firm representing them for any family law issue. I must emphasize that his rates were beyond compare. If you need a divorce attorney, you can't afford NOT to use Jon and his firm!

The right balance

You often find the best resources in your community through the recommendation of friends and family and that is how I met Jon. From the first time we sat down together and I shared my story with him, he showed the right mix of being serious about his profession, passionate about his clients and focu...sed on what was in the best interest of my young son. To this day I am so thankful for all of the time he invested in my case and would highly recommend him to anyone going through divorce proceedings.

Highly Recommend Jon VK!!!!

I have known Jon for over 5 years and have used him in divorce trial, child custody issues, and most recently he won me a large judgement in a real estate property settlement trial. Jon is a highly qualified, trustworthy, respected attorney in a field that often gets a bad reputation. I have seen J...on work directly with other attorneys, judges, and even pro-se clients and he always acts in a highly professional manner. I was referred to Jon from a very high priced Westport attorney that I had also used but could not afford the high fees any longer, and I have nothing but great things to say about Jon and his service. Jon is very fair about fees and is willing to work out payments when needed. Jon has won my cases and is now in a large collection phase for my last judgement. I highly recommend people to meet with Jon.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
