Attorney Von Kohorn is truley my Hero

Words cannot express my gratitude to Jon Von Kohorn and his partner Tara. Not only did he win the $184,000 post-divorce judgement case that was (unfairly) brought against me and secure the almost $50,000 that was in fact owed to me, but he also did it for the most affordable rate possible ! Jon Von K...ohorn did all of this with the most virtue I have ever seen in or outside of the courtroom. And by virtue I mean this : 1. behavior showing high moral standards. synonyms: goodness, virtuousness, righteousness, morality, integrity, dignity, rectitude, honor, decency, respectability, nobility .... I'd like to add humility, kindness and empathy. Moreover, since then he has always been there to enforce payment through email or court dates, managed to have me excused from any further appearances AND also finally managed to have his fees billed to my ex. Jon Von Kohorn is my Hero !

Great job in court collecting on a divorce judgment

Jon did a great job in front of the judge for me in Stamford court. He was able to collect on a divorce case for me that involved filing a lien and collecting from someone who tried everything they could to avoid paying. Jon convinced the judge to find him in contempt and collected everything for m...e a reasonable fee. I have sent several other people to Jon and everyone has had nice things to say too.

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.
