Warren Gary Kohlman is the general counsel to the National Basketball Players Association and an American criminal defense attorney.
[3] DC Superior Court Judge Eugene N. Hamilton called Kohlman an outstanding trial attorney.
[5] In 1985 to 1986, Kohlman represented Larry Wu-tai Chin, a Chinese-language translator for the Central Intelligence Agency, convicted of selling classified documents to the People's Republic of China.
[11] In 2014, Kohlman—representing Northwestern University football students—cross-examined head coach Pat Fitzgerald in a case before the National Labor Relations Board.
[12] Lester Munston described his cross-examination as quiet and artful, eliciting exactly the type of proof that the players needed from Fitzgerald.
[12] The regional director of the NLRB who heard the case found that Northwestern scholarship football players were university employees and thus entitled to unionize.
