About Donald William
Donald William Kohler is a Minnesota-educated attorney who entered law school in the mid-1990s and completed his J.D. in 1999.

His legal education set the stage for a career practiced in both state and federal courts.
After law school Kohler began practicing in the upper Midwest. He is admitted in Minnesota and holds admission to the Eighth Circuit, enabling him to handle matters that proceed beyond trial courts. Over the years he has remained connected to the local legal community. His memberships include the Minnesota Association for Justice, which he joined in 1999, and both the Minnesota State Bar Association and the Ramsey County Bar Association, memberships he has maintained since 2000.
Those affiliations have kept him engaged with developments in state law and procedure. He has used the bar association networks to stay current on court rule changes and appellate trends within the Eighth Circuit. His approach to cases emphasizes preparation and attention to procedural detail. He has worked in venues that require both trial readiness and the ability to present matters on appeal.
