Client Reviews
""Philip provided crucial legal counsel to me during an extended period in which I withdrew from a very successful Orange County-based engineering firm that I founded with three other engineers more than 20 years ago. His negotiating skills were essential in accomplishing my goals without creating negative feelings of my former partners." Larry Sun"
""Phil Koehler has been a valuable resource to our ESOP committee. He has consistently demonstrated a robust knowledge of ERISA and its practical application. He thoughtfully provides thorough background information on different matters so the decisions the ESOP Committee makes are consistent and well founded." Will Clark, VP of DMG Corporation"
