Jason Kotlyarov is the managing attorney and owner of the Kotlyarov Law Group
Jason Kotlyarov has lived in the Kansas City area for the majority of his life and obtained all three of his degrees right here at the University of Missouri-Kansas City because he just couldn't stand the thought of moving away.

His philosophy is that Kansas City has given him everything and that he can never give enough back.
He received his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the UMKC Bloch School of Business in 2010, and proceeded to attend UMKC's School of Law where he graduated with his J.D. a semester early and attained his LL.M. (law masters) in taxation.
While attending law school, Jason Kotlyarov participated in many tax and business activities, including the Kansas City Tax Clinic and the ABA Law Student Tax Challenge.
Jason Kotlyarov is admitted to practice law in the state of Missouri, before the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, and before the United States District Court for the District of Kansas as well as the United States Tax Court.

Jason Kotlyarov is a dedicated, and intelligent attorney. Working with him professionally has only been an extension of the effort and intellect I've seen him apply to matter from before he became an attorney. With his command of various practice areas, and a commitment to getting all the necessary information before attacking the problem vigorously, I can say I am nothing short of impressed every time we work together directly, or consult each other. His commitment to understanding new technology, his attention to detail, and his desire to keep clients and potential clients informed are traits that should be lauded. I therefore give him my endorsement, with no reservations.

Jason is a good friend and a lawyer whom I deeply trust. We exchange cases on a regular basis and consult with each other when dealing with difficult issues. While Jason is a competent tax attorney, he is also well-versed in litigating various civil matters. I recommend Jason with no reservation.
I attended law school with Jason and also worked in the same legal community with him for some time. In my time knowing Jason, he has always been well-liked by all who have met him and for good reason. He has always been extremely diligent in his work as well. He isn't the type to shy away from the tough case and has, more than once, spoken of the virtue of his work, noting that clients deserve focused, individual representation.
