I am a physician practicing in New Mexico. I am also an engineer and CEO of serveral related corporations. Mr. Kochersberger has been my primary personal and corpororate attorney for a number of years. He provides ongoing legal advice, guidance, and assistance for me in an expert manner.

I have come to rely on Mr. Kochersberger as an extreemly skilled and effective attorney and I can highly recommend his professional services without hesitation.

Corporate and Personal Experience with Don

I am CEO of a dynamic company that manufactures and distributes products worldwide to the duty free and travel retail industry. For the past six years I have relied on Don Kochersberger and his business law expertise to guide me through many business related legal processes, including a variety of co...ntracts, settling issues and disputes with outside contractors, and structuring in house employment agreements. As a litigator, Don is very thorough, and I have experienced the positive results from his meticulous preparation and research. In addition, Don has offered excellent advice and suggestions that have saved time and money. I highly recommend Don Kochersberger to any business or individual.

Knowledgeable, Professional and Diligent

I am the President and CEO of a consumer finance organization with numerous branches throughout the United States. We hired Don to litigate several cases for us over the last seven years. Most recently he has been defending the company admirably in a case filed against us by the New Mexico Attorney... General. The case has lasted more than three years and we recently completed a two-week trial. Having been present for the duration, I can say unequivocally that Don and the other lawyers from the firm were remarkable. We have consistently received excellent advice, prompt attention and reliable representation in all of our endeavors in New Mexico. I wholeheartedly recommend Don and the lawyers from SKM.

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.
