About Josiah M.
Josiah M. Kollmeyer arrived at law after a liberal arts education that combined the humanities and quantitative study. He earned a B.A. in History and Mathematics from Hillsdale College in 2014. He then attended Harvard Law School, where he completed his J.D. in 2017. Those academic choices underpin a practice that blends close textual analysis and attention to numerical detail.
He began his professional life in legal settings soon after law school. Over the years he has worked as an associate at Kean Miller LLP. In that role he took on research, drafting, and courtroom preparation. Colleagues describe him as thorough in courtroom filings and precise in contractual work. He has handled matters in both state and federal contexts tied to the jurisdictions where he is licensed.
Kollmeyer is admitted to the bars of the District of Columbia and Louisiana. Those admissions allow him to appear in a range of proceedings across different procedural systems. He maintains membership in the Louisiana Bar Association and participates in the Federalist Society. Those affiliations mark out the professional networks he moves in and the public forums where he engages with other lawyers and judges.
On paper, his credentials are straightforward: a liberal arts undergraduate degree and a law degree from Harvard. In practice, those credentials translate into a methodical approach to cases. He applies historical perspective when interpreting complex statutes and uses his mathematical background to check figures, timelines, and financial details in disputes. He favors careful preparation and often focuses on written advocacy and trial preparation.
Outside of casework, Kollmeyer has been involved in firm projects and client communications that require clear translation of legal ideas into practical options. He has worked on filings, discovery strategies, and the procedural steps that lead to trial or resolution. His work at Kean Miller LLP has exposed him to the varied demands of private practice in a firm setting, including client counseling and collaboration with senior attorneys.
He currently practices at Kean Miller LLP, handling legal matters in Louisiana and the District of Columbia.
