In high school and college, Mr. Koeller had an interest in both the law and business. Fortunately, he has been blessed with the opportunity to pursue both.

In 1986, he started the firm focusing upon the representation of developers and general contractors in residential and commercial construction litigation. Over the last 26 years, Mr. Koeller has had the privilege of handling many extremely complex and interesting cases, while also guiding the expansion of the firm, which now includes approximately 80 attorneys, over 175 employees, with offices in California, Nevada and Arizona.

During this same time, Mr. Koeller and his wife have raised five children and established deep roots in the community. They have served their church, coached numerous youth athletic teams, and enjoyed countless opportunities to serve others in their community.

Hard work, faith, honesty, and fairness have been the values that have governed his journey, and Mr. Koeller is thankful for all of those he has had an opportunity to grow with along the way.
