“Mr. Koehler and I had numerous cases against each other when I was an Assistant District Attorney.  I can say that he was tough as nails and always honest.  I can remember a particular DUI case where we butted heads repeatedly, and as heated as it got, he was professional and on point.  He never lost focus.  On that same case he was also able to have the evidence suppressed, and the District Attorney’s Office was forced to withdraw the case. It was a fantastic win for him.”

– Richard Fuschino, Criminal Defense Attorney

“Mr. Koehler took my case on short notice and handled it with professionalism and courtesy.  He was flexible and reasonable with his fees.  His experience helped me see the serious repercussion of the charges I was facing.  We won our case and as a direct result I was able to spend the holidays with my sons.  Much gratitude to you Mr. Koehler!”

“I hired Mr. Jamison Koehler after pre-trial when the prosecution decided to take my simple assault charges to trial.  Mr. Koehler was very thorough in his analysis, asked very specific questions and was diligent in contacting the prosecution looking for a non-trial disposition.  As a foreigner student, the criminal charges also had immigration implications.  Mr. Koehler went the extra mile and got the necessary advice to make sure that my immigration status wasn’t jeopardized.

My case was dismissed (the prosecution decided not to pursue the case) after Mr. Koehler discussed the facts with the prosecution before the trial.

I am sure that the result of this case would not have been the same with my previous attorney.  Mr. Koehler’s commitment and diligence with the case was fundamental to that final result.

He always responded to my questions promptly and was fundamental to maintain the peace of mind of the members of my family during those difficult moments.  I will always be thankful to Mr. Koehler for that.  I recommend him with no hesitation.”

“Mr. Koehler is very quick on his feet and can easily address unexpected issues that arise in the courtroom.  He has a very approachable style and I have noticed that clients feel immediately at ease with him.

I have found Mr. Koehler’s dedication and commitment to criminal defense work to be very inspiring . . . Mr. Koehler’s spirit was a breath of fresh air in an environment that can often feel very cut-throat.  Time and time again, he reminded me why we chose this line of work in the first place.

Not only does Mr. Koehler express a passion for criminal defense work, but he has a natural talent for it.  In court, Mr. Koehler was able to put together eloquent arguments and address complex evidentiary issues . . . Moreover, Mr. Koehler never cut corners when it came to preparing for trial.  He always spent time researching case law, and meeting with his clients . . . Consequently, Mr. Koehler had a great relationship with . . . his clients.”

–Bernice Melamud, Assistant Defender, Defender Association of Philadelphia
