About Benjamin
Benjamin Kohn trained first as a business student and then as a lawyer. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from California State University, San Jose State University in 2015. He continued his studies at the University of Iowa College of Law and received his J.D. in 2018. The academic track combined quantitative coursework and legal training, a pairing that has shaped his approach to practice.
Kohn was admitted to the Iowa bar in 2019 and began practicing there soon after. He later gained admission to the State Bar of California in 2021 and expanded his practice to include a California office. Those moves track a steady geographic shift from the Midwest back to the West Coast, but his work has retained a consistent emphasis on client-side civil matters.
His professional training extends beyond the law. Kohn holds a Securities Industry Essentials credential from FINRA and a Decision Sciences certificate from San Jose State. He is also an NLP Certified Master Practitioner through the Association for Integrative Psychology. Those credentials reflect interests in analytical methods, regulatory frameworks and communication techniques. In practice he uses that mix to assess cases, prepare testimony and to translate complex subjects for juries and clients.
Kohn maintains memberships in organizations tied to his work. He is a licensee of the Iowa Office of Professional Regulation and an active member of the Iowa State Bar Association. In California he is listed as a licensee of the State Bar of California. He also belongs to the Disability Rights Bar Association and the Consumer Lawyers of California. Those affiliations inform his caseload and provide professional resources for litigation, regulatory filings and policy work.
He practices through offices in both states. The two related firms are Kohn Law Office of Iowa, PLLC and Kohn Law Office of California. Kohn’s offices handle intake, motion practice and trial preparation. He balances case management duties with client counseling, and he has built systems intended to keep caseloads moving while maintaining regular client contact.
Observers describe Kohn’s style as methodical and direct. He breaks complex questions into discrete issues and sets clear next steps for clients. His background in decision sciences and securities fundamentals often guides strategy on cases that involve financial records or regulatory compliance. He currently practices through Kohn Law Office of Iowa, PLLC and Kohn Law Office of California, handling consumer and disability matters and related regulatory issues.
