I contacted Mr. Koehler to help in a critically important emergency legal situation. He responded quickly, was direct and concise (which I respected and appreciated), spent adequate time to understand the circumstances, took appropriate and timely action filing documents with the court, consulted/responded when I had concerns prior to the court date (was ALWAYS responsive and engaged), and helped my family through a scary and emotionally draining situation.
Mr. Koelher was always respectful in responding to my many questions and concerns, and my family and I could not be more grateful for the patient and expert assistance provided.
I am familiar with several attorneys, and I highly recommend Mr. Koehler to those who want an attorney who doesn't beat around the bush, gets the problem solved, and lets a person go back to normal life as quickly as is possible.

Having to hire your first attorney is a terrifying experience. I had heard stories before of attorneys taking your money and never hearing from them again. Mr. Koehler was the exact opposite of this. He answers phone calls and emails within seconds anytime of the day and he really cares about your future and wants the best for you! Mr. Koehler provides excellent, quality legal services, at affordable rates, and is a man of his word. He is well known in DC for being an excellent attorney and my experience with him is proof of it.
Mr. Koehler not only helped dismiss a potential CPO against me, but he saved me from making a mistake on what could have affected the rest of my life. What started off as a simple cross-petition CPO case turned into a 4 month long emotional rollercoaster that Mr. Koehler was along with me for the entire way. CPO cases involving ex-romantic partners are never pretty, but mine in particular was incredibly emotional and stressful (for both parties). Mr. Koehler provided excellent guidance and support, and many times I forgot I was talking to my attorney and not a friend giving advice – that’s how much he cares about his clients. He helped me see through the emotions clouding my judgment and after every phone call with him I always felt much better (he’s like a lawyer and a therapist in one!).
Through his superb negotiation and legal skills, Mr. Koehler helped both parties reach a mutually agreeable resolution, so that neither party needed to face a potential CPO against them. He took care of all the court motions for me, and I didn’t even have to show up to court for any of the continuance motions or even for the cross-petition case dismissal. If it were not for Mr. Koehler, I could have let my emotions get the best of me and made a mistake that would have had lasting effects on career. Because of Mr. Koehler, I can now go onto graduate schools, pursue my dreams, and leave this all behind me. Thank you, Mr. Koehler!

Mr. Koehler did an excellent job in defending me and also to seal my record of the arrest and charge afterwards. He is understanding and honest. He sets forth clear and accurate expectations and charges fair rates that are worth every penny for the work he provides. I highly recommend Mr. Koehler if you need defense representation or anything related to a criminal charge or dealing with an old criminal record.

While the title may be a bit cheesy, the truth behind it is very real. After the conclusion of a criminal case (in which all charges against me were dropped due to my innocence), I immediately searched for an attorney to file a motion to seal my criminal record. Ironically, the Avvo reviews I read led me to Jamison Koehler, and I can say from experience that every good thing written here is true. From our very first in-person meeting, Mr. Koehler was remarkably professional, informative, and attentive. In fact, before I'd even *signed* a retainer agreement, he gave me valuable insight, and, more importantly, a sense that he had compassion and truly cared *over the phone*. The latter is what sold me on Mr. Koehler: I've come across numerous attorneys in my life, and many of them seem to leave emotion and empathy at the door. Mr. Koehler's apparent emotional investment is unmatched. Without losing objectivity, he shows humanity. Beyond all of this, I was genuinely impressed by his actual legal work. The Motion he wrote was compelling: well-written and perfectly detailed, but not overwhelming. His submissions were timely, and he kept me updated whenever he got information.
I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer for criminal services--but only if they're looking for the best.

Mr. Jamison Koehler provided excellent consultation when I received a Leaving After Colliding (LAC) charge last year. He provided professional representation throughout all of the court appearances and guided me at every decision point. In the end, he was able to negotiate a Deferred Sentencing Agreement for me, which resulted in the charges being fully dismissed. Much more, the incident did not end up on my DMV driving record at all. I fully recommend Mr. Koehler to anyone seeking legal representation for a traffic case.

Jamison was particularly impressive in knowing how to move around the judicial system providing amazing advice. Knowing the law and the other key people, Jamison advised me perfectly along the way. As it turned out, he was 100% correct (case dismissed), and his advice was the difference between me getting off vs paying a fine and being convicted. Note, this was a hit and run where I was hit but pulled over in a different location than the other party.

Mr. Koehler represented me in a recent matter. I found him to be extremely attentive and reliable throughout our dealings. He spoke with both the complainant and the prosecutor in the case, and the charges were eventually dismissed. He was helpful and responsive from when I hired him to after dismissal, and I would certainly recommend him as an attorney of merit.

Jamison Koehler is the type of lawyer you want on your side. Earlier this earlier, I was charged with my first misdemeanor. I was wrongfully accused and was worried of how this could potentially impact my professional and personal life. Jamison immediately took my phone call and put my mind at ease. It was a four-month process that would've otherwise been nerve-wrecking had Jamison not been my lawyer. During this time, he checked in regularly to see how I was doing and took the time to answer my many questions.
The charges were ultimately dismissed, thanks to the great work of Jamison. The court system can be confusing but Jamison really helped clarify everything from the start to the end. He was thorough, punctual, and professional throughout the entire process. He is a stand-up guy who you can tell is a family man who wants to do whatever he can to help people. He is worth EVERY penny and I am so happy I found him!
