This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don’t waste your money

Over a year and several thousands of dollars later and still have yet to get to court and resolve my case. You can expect snail mail communications and never a response from Mr. Bohlen. If you’re lucky, you might get to meet with him to go over your case, but he won’t take notes or remember what your... case is about the next time he decides to meet with you again. He never returns calls, never responds to emails and never gets your case to court. Save your money or you’ll be stuck like I am. $2500 retainer! He’ll take your money no problem. You won’t get much from him after that.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
