I was in an auto accident in 2008 and I contacted Attorney Stephen D. Koehler after several other attorneys turned my case down for the low possibility of recovery of my losses due to the negligence of the other driver. Mr. Koehler gave me a free consultation and set my expectations on what I could expect to recover if I won my case. I retained him as my attorney and he immediately began negotiating with the insurance company on my behalf. It was a tremendous relief to have Mr. Koehler working through this process instead of being pressured by the insurance adjuster. We offered to settle out of court for significantly less than our initial request for damages from the insurance company. They were unwilling to settle and we went to court. Mr. Koehler prepared me and we filed for a court date. Up until the date of the trial, we continued attempting to negotiate a settlement. Throughout the trial, Mr. Koehler kept explaining what was going on as well as noting discrepancies in the defendant's case. At the conclusion of the testimony, the jury deliberated for a few hours and not only found in our favor, but then awarded to me more than twice the amount that we initially asked for from the insurance company and almost 4 times the amount we were willing to settle for before the trial. Had I not found Attorney Stephen D. Koehler, I would have been forced to accept a settlement that the insurance company was pushing on me that would have been one eighth of the final award.

Used Stephen in a case against a former employer to recoup back wages as well as expense monies that i was out while employed there. Stephen was diligent in getting all monies due as well as attorney fees and other monies due under NC law. I would highly recommend for business/ employee law matters

When I consulted Steve about a suit I was interested in pursuing he informed me of what possible avenues I could take and what issues might be faced during the case.I found him to be knowledgeable in the area and kept me informed of any developments that arose. I would recommend Steve to any of my friends and family that needed legal help.

I hired Mr. Koehler to represent me and to date have paid him $1,200.00 for insignificant representation I found his billing practices to be outrageous and unjustifiable. I would not refer him to anyone and I am not one bit surprised that he kept all of my retainer and somehow justified billing me for his little or no follow up and representation. In fact I am wondering what he actually did do for me other than waste my time and money.
