"Mr. Kohn has assisted a number of counsel in the foreclosure area throughout the nation. His expereince and knoweldge have greatly affected the ability of homeowners to either retain their homes or negotiate favorable settlements that would not have been possible without his knowledge and experience. His ability to prosecute and defend cases is enhanced by a national network of fellow counsel who are experienced in any number areas of the law. Dick marshals these resources to the benefits of his clients. I wholeheartedly endorse him."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Richard Kohn is the advocate you want on your side when your lender is being aggressive and not affording you all your legal rights. Once he takes your case he will relentlessly demand that the other side abide by all the legal and contractual duties that it owes you. Just retaining him as your counsel is sometimes all it takes for the bank to want to negotiate a settlement."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Mr. Kohn is unquestionably one of the most experienced and knowledgeable foreclosure defense attorneys in the state of Illinois, and is held in high regard by our peers nationwide. He has very strong ethics and dedicates much time to investigating and uncovering foreclosure fraud. Mr. Kohn has worked with us for several years in an "of counsel" capacity. We -- and the homeowners we serve -- owe him a debt a gratitude for his considerable knowledge and kind mentorship. We are very proud to be associated with someone of his caliber."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Kohn (Dick) is a seasoned veteran when it comes to foreclosure defense and he serves as "of Counsel" to several firms in Illinois which speaks volumes about his value among the community. I have followed his work with great interest because of his command of complex issues surrounding securitized loans and the many defects of Plaintiff's bank Complaint. Many attorneys turn to him to handle cases in collar counties because he is reliable and understands the constantly changing climate inside county court rooms and their respective Judges. Having long been known for his pro bono work, he is also a passionate advocate for homeowners. i am pleased to endorse Richard Kohn"
