Born and raised on the prairie of Western Minnesota, Jason spent his summers on his uncle’s farm, which taught him the importance of getting the job done right the first time.
While still a high school student, Jason enlisted in the Army Reserve and went on to serve as an Army Intelligence Analyst after graduation. Then he pursued his education at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, becoming a High School social studies teacher in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. During these two years, he realized his deep-rooted desire to help others resolve their problems, which led him to pursue his dream of becoming a lawyer. In 2000, Jason graduated from Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota.
After gaining valuable experience at the Dakota County Attorney’s Office, Jason realized the crucial need for personalized attention and genuine empathy in the legal profession. This understanding motivated him to take up a position in the private sector. After nearly a decade of service at a top-tier boutique trial firm in Southern Minnesota, he decided to help clients in a different way and opened his own firm in 2008. Since its inception, Kohlmeyer Hagen has evolved into one of the busiest and largest family and criminal defense firms in Southern Minnesota.
