Received excellent representation

Mr. Koehler provided very knowledgeable and effective representation to my son in a controlled substance possession incident. He thoroughly reviewed the evidence, fully explained all the available options giving positives and negatives of each, he pursued several opportunities to discuss the case wi...th the prosecution, was able to get the prosecution to agree to an acceptable pleading, and admirably presented a pleading to the judge that resulted in an expected and mutually agreeable result. We were impressed with his thoroughness, willingness to put in time after hours, and the ethical behavior that he exhibited. We would highly recommend retaining his services relating to similar situations in DC Superior Court.

The Wisdom of Solomon

Let me tell you about Jamison Koehler. Mr. Koehler is one of those rare individuals, attorney or otherwise, that embodies the characteristics of a consummate professional and expert in his field, while also retaining the ability to relate to his clients as human beings and be sensitive to their needs... as individuals. I hired Jamison Koehler to represent me after being arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault as a result of being involved in a minor altercation on the Metro. The U.S. Attorney's office had decided to prosecute--even though it was only my first offense. I was outraged, of course, as I felt I had acted only in self-defense and I had these outlandish, preconceived notions, a la Law and Order, about correcting what was obviously a gross miscarriage of justice. At the end of the day, however, the complainant had a split lip and I didn't have a scratch--or a witness! After meticulously analyzing the facts and calmly discussing my options, Mr. Koehler wisely counseled me to pursue a DSA (Deferred Sentencing Agreement). Thanks to Mr. Koehler's skillful negotiation with the AUSA on my behalf, the request for a DSA was granted. And, while this required me to plead guilty to the charge of simple assault, it also provided me with the opportunity to later withdraw my plea, upon successful completion of the terms of the DSA, and have the prosecution dismiss the charge. Throughout this entire process, Jamison Koehler was impressive. He was always supportive and encouraging, while also remaining honest and practical. He was always quick to respond and answer any question or address any concern that I might have. The guy made me feel as if I were his only client, even though I knew that to not be the case. Mr. Koehler was also able to have my reporting requirement to Pre-Trial services waived by the AUSA after a short period of time, which had up until then been a significant inconvenience And, in the instance of a bureaucratic hiccup, when the Pre-Trial services officer assigned to my case was not informed of this waiver and called to not-so-pleasantly remind me to continue reporting, Mr. Koehler addressed it immediately and I was never bothered again. In short, Mr. Koehler had my back. I highly recommend Jamison Koehler. You can count on him.

When it comes to DUI & DWI, search for Mr. J Koehler

I've been arrested for DUI, DWI December 2009 and I emailed alot of lawyers in Washington, DC. Some of them replied but aren't that helpful. I was nervous about what's going to happen to me but Mr. Koehler explained to me what's going to be consequences I might face. After the arraignment, judge to...ld me to look for a lawyer so I called Mr. Koehler and he guided me with everything. He filed a motion to suppress my DUI and it was suppressed. He never stopped there. He wants my DWI dropped as well. We went to the scene where I got arrested for himself to see how it all happened. He took pictures and everything and examined every single possible thing he can't think of. I highly suggest Mr. Jamison Koehler. My case got dismissed and I don't know how to thank Mr. Koehler. That's why I wrote this review so that everyone will know how good this guy is!

An attorney that will save the day!

I hired Mr. Jamison Koehler after pre-trial when the prosecution decided to take my simple assault charges to trial. Mr. Koehler was very thorough in his analysis, asked very specific questions and was diligent in contacting the prosecution looking for a non-trial disposition. As I was foreigner stud...ent, the criminal charges also had immigration implications. Mr. Koehler went the extra mile and got the necessary advice to make sure that my immigration status wasn't jeopardized. My case was dismissed (the prosecution decided not to pursue the case) after Mr. Koehler discussed the facts with the prosecution before the trial. I am sure that the result of this case would have not been the same with my previous attorney. Mr. Koehler's committment and diligency with the case was fundamental to the final result. He always responded my questions promptly and was fundamental to mantain the peace of mind of the members of my family during those difficult moments. I will always be thankful with Mr. Koehler for that. I recommend him with no hesitation.

Best in DC

Jamison Koehler is one of the finest lawyers I have had the pleasure of meeting. He was extremely professional, reliable, and comforting throughout the entire process. He is respected among his peers and I highly recommend him. I honestly can not thank him enough for his work.
