Some things are worth more than money LAWYERS TOO!

This man was not able to take my case but he really cares about people and he really showed himself to be the kind of person who gives others hope that there still are good people left in this world. And while he wasn’t able to help me with my particular situation he didn’t just say so and then hang ...up the phone he took the Time to carefully point me in the right directions and his time and care in this matter have helped me very much. This man is absolutely an asset to his profession! I will always be grateful for your kindness! Thank you C.l.H

Saved My Inheritance

I consulted with three other attorneys prior to Mr. Kohl and each of them told me I had no realistic chance to win after my sister had my mother sign an amendment which disinherited me. Mr. Kohl took the case and, long story short, the amendment which disinherited me was ruled to be invalid and I re...ceived my full share, 50%, of my mother's estate. This was vital to me as my inheritance made it possible for me to retire and without it that would have been an impossible dream. Thank you.

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.
