Boundary dispute with neighbor
Jane assisted us with a boundary dispute. Our neighbor was being very difficult. Jane not only had an excellent knowledge of the law but handled the situation without having to go to trial. She not only knows the law but is an excellent negotiator and we feel this saved us a lot of money in court costs.
Property Case Victory
For the past three years Jane Koler has handled a very complicated and involved property case. Jane is very thorough and her research and memorization of previous related cases is truly amazing. She is also very personable, as is her assistant Jen. They are a powerful team and won our case for us. Because of Jane and Jen’s talent to pay attention to the facts, find out every necessary detail of the case and with their very extended knowledge of property law we could not have found better legal representation. If you need legal assistance with anything related to property law, call Jane.

Boundary dispute with neighbor
I have had the opportunity to watch attorneys Jane Koler and Mark Adams in action several times. They are both brilliant attorneys and compliment each other perfectly. Because of her diverse background, I have seen Jane come up with strategies that no other attorney would think of. If you are a homeowner who is having an issue with a neighbor or the county/city you live in, or are a business that needs help navigating through red tape, Land Use & Property Law is the firm that I would recommend wholeheartedly. Other lawyers call Jane for her advice. I think that says it all.
