He represents plaintiffs and defendants in general civil litigation, including personal injury, workers’ compensation, contract, property, business, and probate matters. His practice addresses disputes from both sides of a case. That range is relevant when assessing competing claims, the evidence supporting them, and the legal questions a court must resolve.

Kolter earned a J.D., cum laude, from Vermont Law School in 1984. He also received a B.A. in 1973 and an M.Ed. in 1981 from the University of Vermont. He served as a Law Clerk for the Vermont Trial Courts from 1984 through 1985. His education and court experience support the research, analysis, and presentation involved in developing a civil litigation matter.

Kolter’s litigation work encompasses disputes over injuries, workplace compensation, agreements, property interests, business matters, and probate issues. These cases involve different legal standards while sharing the need to establish facts and present a clear position. Representing both plaintiffs and defendants gives his practice a broad procedural perspective, helping clients consider the issues raised by their own claims and the arguments advanced by an opposing party.

Mark H. Kolter has served as President of the Vermont Association for Justice and the Lamoille County Bar Association. His professional service also includes chairing the Vermont Bar Association’s Workers’ Compensation Committee. These roles accompany a practice focused on civil disputes. His work helps clients examine legal responsibilities and available remedies while navigating the procedural steps required to bring or defend a claim in court.
