Jane Ryan Koler

I've known Jane Koler about 30 years and recently needed her help with some land use matters: a boundary dispute and a tax foreclosure sale of property. She was professional in every way and helped me immeasurably to secure results. I know her to be ethical, hard-working, and highly knowledgeable ...in her field. Would not hesitate to use her again. I'm aware that the bar association sanctioned her over a technical discovery issue, but in my opinion it didn't amount to a hill of beans and doesn't change my opinion of her one bit.

Jane Koler is an excellent attorney. She assisted me with a zoning penalty action. She has an excellent abilty to analyze zoning problems. She thought of a great solution to our problem and convinced city officials to accept it. The city withdrew its penalty order. She has an excellent ability to... analyze city codes and think of creative theories, Jane Koler works very effectively with City officials. She has deep and extensive knowledge of land use law and as well as constitutional law which she utiliized in solving our problem.

I asked Ms. Koler to write a simple environmental covenant for me in August 2008. She never initiated contact with me nor replied to e-mails requesting updates on my project. It took six months of constant calling to get the first draft of the covenant out of her. But she used the wrong boilerplate f...orm (readily available from Ecology), and sent the draft to the wrong office although I had provided her with the correct contact name, e-mail, phone, and address. After all that she charged me more than double her original estimate. I had to redo the entire covenant myself. I would advise anyone looking for an environmental lawyer NOT to use Jane Koler!
