Mr. S.K.

Jon Von Kohorn has guided and counseled me through two years of complex post-divorce settlement actions with skill, compassion, and above all, flawless strategic insight. He has been empathetic throughout the entire process, which during emotional highs and lows, I have always found to be tremendous...ly comforting. But, most important, he has proven to be a shrewd and savvy negotiator, with an uncanny sense of just how to deal with all sides. I would (and have) recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of the best family law advocate in Connecticut!

Ecstatic!

After self-representing and experiencing several losses in family court, I turned to Jon for help. He was patient and kind with me and acknowledged the injustice that I had experienced. I chose to hire Jon for an appeal. I knew that it would be difficult to win, but I knew that I needed to seek just...ice for my children. We just received word that we won the appeal! The unjust ruling has been reversed! I am so happy! I am grateful that Jon was so dedicated and thorough with my case. I am so relieved that I didn't have to live the the burden of that injustice any longer. Jon is an excellent attorney and an amazing person. Thanks so very much for your expertise, Jon!

Get it done with integrity and dignity. Many thanks Jon.

After a marriage of 25 years I found my self in the most unlikely of places. I was getting divorced. I spoke with a few attorneys and found Jon to be the right fit for me. Jon has all that one looks for in a lawyer. He is professional, experienced and thoroughly knowledgeable. However, it’s his keen ...perception of the less tangible factors of case that really impressed me. Jon’s ability to read and understand me and the relationship I had with my wife was both comforting and a help to the overall outcome of the divorce. It takes both an attorney and the client to shape the nature of what can potentially be an ugly process. We navigated the process with decency, integrity and dignity. I received a fair and balanced settlement thanks to Jon. I can not recommend him highly enough.

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!
