Emily Kohlheim

Attorney

Emily has devoted her legal career to fighting for people’s rights against some of the country’s biggest corporations. She has experience in both employment and civil rights law as well as personal injury law with a focus on representing people diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos exposure and their families. In the employment and civil rights arena, Emily has represented plaintiffs in a wide variety of matters involving many protected characteristics including race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, history of criminal justice system involvement, and more. 

One of Emily’s goals is to be a lifelong learner, so she takes every opportunity she can to attend events on various topics within employment and civil rights law, and is working on a Certificate of Theological Studies at the San Francisco Theological Seminary up the hill from the firm’s office in San Anselmo. She also enjoys cooking, martial arts, caring for her cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and traveling to historical locations near and far.
