A native of Albany, New York and alumnus of the University of Maryland, Ms. Kohn made her way to New Orleans in the early 1980’s and attended law school at Loyola University. Her more than 30 years of trial experience has led to a practice currently focused on products liability and toxic tort litigation, including asbestos and other toxic exposure cases.
