Founded in 1960 by Robert W. Kohn, the Kohn Law Firm S.C. is an award-winning and nationally recognized debt collection law firm that concentrates its practice primarily on credit card, municipal, medical and various other types of consumer debt, as well as repossession actions and insurance subrogation claims. The firm covers the entire state of Wisconsin for its clients, which consist primarily of large national credit issuers and debt buyers, but also include local municipalities and other retail businesses and service providers. The Kohn Law Firm’s success can be attributed to its commitment to exceptional compliance, staffing and technology. COMPLIANCE: A key component of the Kohn Law Firm’s success and longevity has been its commitment to compliance with the laws governing debt collection and the legal profession, as well as compliance with its clients’ requirements and expectations. With regard to legal compliance, the firm adheres strictly to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Wisconsin Consumer Act, submits annual trust account reports conducted by third parties to the Office of Lawyer Regulation, and has good working relationships with all such state and federal regulatory agencies and the consumer bar. But beyond simply complying with the law, the firm promotes a philosophy of professionalism, respect and courtesy when dealing with its clients’ customers. As for client compliance, the firm regularly passes with high grades many rigorous client audits, conducted both remotely and on-site. Those audits closely scrutinize the firm’s work quality and financial procedures, as well as legal compliance as described above. The successes in both legal and client compliance can be attributed to the early creation of a dedicated “Compliance Department” within the firm.
