Posted by Mr.Dragomir | February 13, 2015 | Estate Planning

An excellent and proactive Trust, Estate & Tax Attorney

I have retained (and continue to retain) Mr. Kohlmann and his firm as my attorney for over 15 years in my capacity as a professional trustee, conservator, attorney in fact, agent, executor, general partner and probate administrator. Patrick is among the best attorneys that I have worked with and is ...very knowledgeable in all probate areas especially in tax, trust and estate planning of complex matters, with the added skill of planning ahead and skillfully helping me avoid trouble. I would highly recommend him as counsel.

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.
