Awesome Lawyer - Initial Free Interview was very informative and professional. I selected him after interviewing 10 total lawyers - Tidy, well-organized office, no mess/stack of files. He had small reminders of his family and explained why it was important to him. - JVK set realistic expectations and timeline for my divorce. JVK set the goal for a divorce in under 12 months and got it done in about 8 months (December signed with him and served the spouse that month. I was divorced before September) - Calm and Logical - When my ex dialed up the emotion and ridiculousness, JVK calmed me down and was not affected by the ex's ridiculous comments or insults at the two of us. JVK knows people make poor emotional decisions when the anger is involved. - Billing is extremely fair. No nickel and diming for every little text and email. AWESOME LAWYER. We need more JVK's in divorces. I am a better person after having used him. And if you go against him, you will be treated very fair.

No one enters a marriage expecting a divorce, and the anxiety of the process is overwhelming. If you are in Fairfield County, Jon Von Kohorn is the only lawyer to consider. He navigated my case against a difficult ex and opposing lawyer with incredible expertise, kindness, and class. Jon is direct, his rates are reasonable, and he realistically manages expectations. I’ve also referred several friends to him with great success. He has excellent reviews for a reason, and I am forever grateful to have been one of his many satisfied clients. My life is on a much better track now, thanks to Jon and the work he does.

Highly recommended. Honestly, fair and truthful. Predicted likely outcome of divorce upfront with high degree of accuracy, which was validated when it went to trial. Costs extremely reasonable as well. Would recommend!

Divorce and child custody issues can be the most gut-wrenching and stressful of your life. Jon Von Kohorn helped me with a complicated custody dispute and I greatly appreciated his steady, insightful, and compassionate approach. He was always several steps ahead, anticipating pitfalls and problems. He is very fair about his billing, and he is clearly focused on helping rather than racking up fees. I highly recommend him.

Jon was referred to me by another attorney to handle a post-divorce judgement. His professionalism, knowledge of the law and attention to detail helped me win the judgement immediately. I was extremely satisfied with the work he did and would recommend his services to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Jon represented me in my divorce with a difficult ex. He walked me through the emotional process and kept the integrity of our side. He kept me well informed on the status of my case and what I can expect based on the law in my state. I felt confident that I would resolve things quickly and that any delays would not be on my end. He made sure all paperwork was in order with me and my ex so that we would have no issues at court. He was the middle man with a bitter plaintiff and kept all interactions professional and kind as possible. Jon is absolutely wonderful and cost efficient.

Jon is very professional, knowledgeable attorney who puts the utmost care in his practice. I approached him after realizing I had to get out of a nightmarish marriage. After finally to decide to go through with the divorce, he helped me to navigate an extremely complex and difficult divorce. I honestly didn’t know how the situation could be resolved as my ex wanted to keep the house but was unable to because of her extremely poor credit. In addition, there were a number of very unusual circumstances surrounding the marriage that are too and difficult to get into, but this was definitely not a divorce that was going to be easy to get through by any stretch of the imagination. He was able to guide me through these extremely turbulent waters and protect me from a very aggressive ex-spouse who was determined to make things as difficult as possible. He helped me to stay the course and understand all of the nuances of the process in order to get the best result. I honestly thought based on m

My case was protracted and extremely challenging. Since Attorney Jon Von KoHorn has been involved, orders were entered to clarify and secure the appropriate outcome. Jon is extremely knowledgable of the law and applicable citations. His ability to strategize and navigate the process is excellent. I highly recommend him, especially, if you have tried other attorneys and have been disappointed. Mary C.
