Our results speak for themselves

Kohler family law has been amazing over our 3.5 year family court matter, they were extremely supportive to my wife and were able to settle a two day trial on the first day of court. We highly recommend Kris and Celina they are extremely professional and passionate about giving their clients the best results. I hope my wife and I never have to go to family court again, but if we do we will be calling Kris and Celina at Kohler Family Law.

Upon meeting Celina for the first time, I could tell that she was extremely passionate about law; Her knowledge and expertise was unwavering. She always made feel at ease and included me in all of the discussions and communications while keeping the best interest of my children in mind. Her rates are very reasonable and she worked diligently within the budget I gave her. I quickly built a trusting alliance with Celina and I knew that she would fight for my rights as well as my children’s rights. I highly recommend Celina; she has an extensive wealth and knowledge in family law. Thank you Celina for all your time and hard work in helping bring resolution to an extremely difficult case. You are brilliant.

Sahiba Dhir is an excellent lawyer who goes above and beyond trying to help in every best possible way she can. She communicates clearly and responds to emails and phone calls in timely manners. Thank you Sahiba for your help!

Kristopher was my lawyer throughout my emotionally difficult divorce. He was always on top of everything and a great support in every way. He is very educated in all aspects of divorce and walked me step by step through the process and always explained everything thoroughly. He was very professional but also understanding about my feelings and how hard the situation was for me. He answered my calls and emails in a timely manner. I am very grateful that he was there to support me throughout trial and he made everything run so smoothly. Kristopher was overly prepared for trial and that was proven with the outcome that we got. Thank you Kris.

Celina and the team at Zukerman Law are amazing. I was going through a very difficult separation and Celina was on top of things while also ensuring my legal costs were as low as possible. She is knowledgeable, very responsive, and knows how to get things done. I highly recommend Celina and her team.

We hired Kris for our daughter going through a very acrimonious separation. Kris was very supportive, answered all calls and emails no matter how trivial. He did not give up until our daughter got what she deserved. Very personable and hard working lawyer.

The first day I walked into Zukerman law & met with Celina, I was afraid, dejected & felt abandoned. After speaking with her she encouraged me to meet with other lawyers to reiterate what she had explained. I didn’t feel the need, I had no doubt in her ability to represent me. She made me feel safe & important. Her knowledge of family law is impressive, her correspondence skills are an art & her professionalism is exceptional. In a family law matter you want Ms. Meghji on your side.

I very highly recommend Kohler Family Law to anyone who finds themselves heading into court. We first retained Kris from his previous firm, and stuck with him into his opening of Kohler Family Law.

Kris and his team have been absolutely amazing for our family. He and his team took a personalized interest into our matter. He wasn’t fighting for a “win” in court. He was fighting for what’s best for the kids. We always felt completely supported and well aware during our trials and meetings. There was never a second where we felt in the dark, or that he wasn’t fighting for the kids.
He has helped us through our entire situation and we would never had made it with out him and the amazing staff at kohler family law. On top of being super friendly and supportive, they are all very professional and kind.

We will always stick with Kohler Family Law for any of our future needs, and I will always recommend them to anyone who needs help.

Kristopher proved to be very tenacious yet professional in assisting me with a very hostile custody battle. He fought hard for the rights of myself and my children while keeping the associated costs in mind during the process. I would highly recommend.

Ms. Meghji listened to me, and acted quickly and professionally. I feel completely confident in her abilities.

I have been dealing with the people from Kohler Family Law for almost a year now. It has been a great experience and I have nothing but good things to say about them. No matter what step I’ve been at in my court process not just Kris himself but everyone has been a huge help and extremely supportive in getting what’s best for my kids. I’ve never had any doubts in my mind dealing with Kohler Family Law. Would highly recommend to anyone in search of legal help.

Celina is very nice lawyer who makes you feel comfortable. She is also very knowledgeable and very good in preparation of all the needed documents. She does have fighting skills for the court and will leave other lawyer scrambling for response.

Celina is an excellent lawyer with incredible skills on her feet in court. She did a great job for me in our hearing and did it for the cost that she estimated from our first meeting together. I couldn’t be happier or ask for more.

Kris and Celina are both great, personable lawyers that make the stressful experience as easy as possible to navigate through. Highly recommend their firm.

Kris, solid and confident and definitely knows what he is doing. He never backed down from a very unreasonable ex who was making false claims. Made the other side look incompetent! Thanks for resolution and end to a potentially messy divorce. Celina was great too. Both of them are extremely hard working and worth every penny.

Before I met Kris, I thought (hoped) I could oppose my soon-to-be ex-husband by myself. I was tired of lawyer’s fees for back-and-forth letters that got me absolutely nowhere. Kris was expensive but turned out to be worth every penny! He knew how and when to push the other side and what to ask for. Not only did he get me a great resolution- an agreement that both my ex and I found fair- he made me feel heard along the way. The legal system has a way of bulldozing you. Kris alleviated that because he believed me and was on my side. I met him right before his transition to Kohler Family Law and I’m such a fan of the new firm- especially Kris’ wife Celina! She cared about my story too even though she wasn’t on my file. In the end, I feel that I didn’t hire Kris to write my agreements, applications, letters. Technically I could have done that myself. I hired him for what I couldn’t do: fight for me with all the strategy, boldness and vigilance that come with being a seasoned and talented family law lawyer. I highly recommend this firm!

Kris and Celina are both great, personable lawyers that make the stressful experience as easy as possible to navigate through. Highly recommend their firm.
