What our Clients Are Saying

After my accident, I was getting calls from doctors and lawyers telling me to go to them. I was referred to Mr. Kohn by a friend. He explained to me how people were trying to make money off selling my case and shouldn’t have been calling me. He explained to me no-fault, property damage, and injury claims. He did exactly what he promised and was able to obtain a substantial settlement prior to trial. — Jose L.

I broke my ankle in three places after a fall on snow and ice. Mr. Kohn spent the time to explain to me the law and process. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. — Janet R.

I would highly recommend the Kohn Law Firm for anyone seeking compensation after a car accident. Kevin is personable and professional. Most importantly he gets results. Thank you. — Isabel G.

Why go to anyone else? There is no need to. Kevin is local and he is good. — Xavier P.

I want to thank Mr. Kohn and his staff. I originally went to another “big name” law firm where I found I was just a number. The difference in my representation was huge. Mr. Kohn did exactly what he said he would do and got me the results I expected. — Juan R.

I fell off a roof and broke my hip. Everyone else I went to said I did not have a case because of workers comp. Mr. Kohn because he listened carefully to what had happened figured a way to pursue the claim. I am very grateful for his help. — Vincente R.

I met with Kevin for a consultation for my father who was injured in a nursing home when the staff failed to use bed rails despite the doctor’s order. My father fractured his wrist as a result of his fall. Kevin put the case into court right away and got a great settlement offer within a year. — Henry H.

Kevin has been my lawyer for 25 years. He has handled 2 closings and an injury case for me. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. — Jocelyn F.

I was confused after my accident as to which attorney to use. There are so many advertisements on TV and everywhere. I went to the Kohn Law Firm because his office was in my neighborhood and passed it every day on Morris Park Avenue. I made the right choice because Kevin and his staff were on top of my case and were successful in getting me money for my injury. Thanks. — Gloria B.
