Looking back
the Firm’s History
Every law firm has a past. At KJK, our history is our proud foundation. KJK’s rich history dates back to the 1918 founding of Kohrman & Kohrman by brothers Max and Joseph Kohrman, Polish immigrants who served the local small businesses of Cleveland’s Central neighborhood. Fifty years later, Lee Kohrman and Robert Jackson formed their partnership, later welcoming Byron Krantz to create today’s Kohrman Jackson & Krantz.
For decades, KJK has been the go-to law firm for individuals, entrepreneurs and established businesses who come to us for our legal expertise, business insight and professionalism. We continue to honor our past but we don’t let it limit our future. You’ll never hear us say, “It’s always been done that way.” Instead, we say “Bring us the Impossible!” because we are constantly looking for new ways to innovate and bring our talents to the better service of our clients. So, while we are justifiably proud of our past accomplishments, we won’t let them limit us.
