About Nicholas Philips
Nicholas Philips Kohan built a path into law that began in the classroom and led quickly into private practice. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University in 2003, then completed his Juris Doctor at Whittier Law School in 2007. Those years shaped his early professional outlook and prepared him for the work he would take on in California.
After law school, Kohan entered practice in the state where he remains licensed. He moved into firm work and, over time, helped establish Kohan & Bablove LLP. As a founding partner he has overseen the firm’s development and day-to-day operations while taking on client matters from intake to resolution. Colleagues describe him as methodical in managing cases and deliberate in legal strategy.
Kohan’s professional record includes steady involvement in bar and local legal associations. Records indicate association activity beginning in 2008 and continuing into the present, reflecting years of participation in professional circles. He has used those connections to remain current on court decisions, procedural changes, and developments in the law that affect clients across California.
His work at the firm has involved both advising clients and litigating matters when cases proceed to court. He handles a range of issues that firms of his size typically address, balancing client counseling with courtroom preparation. Clients and associates note that he places emphasis on clear explanations and practical next steps, aiming to make complex matters more understandable.
Kohan’s academic background at Cornell and Whittier Law School translates into a practice built on steady preparation. He draws on that foundation when reviewing filings, preparing witnesses, and negotiating resolutions. Those tasks make up much of his daily workload, and they inform how he trains junior attorneys and delegates responsibilities within the firm.
Today he serves as a founding partner of Kohan & Bablove LLP. He maintains an active practice in California, where he manages client matters through the firm and continues participating in professional associations and community legal activities. He now practices at Kohan & Bablove LLP, handling client matters throughout California.
