Max Kohlenberg was an estate planning attorney who served as co-trustee for Carol Chomsky's trusts after her 2008 death and represented Noam Chomsky in trust administration matters. Jeffrey Epstein, using the pseudonym 'Rich Kahn,' became involved in a dispute between Chomsky and Kohlenberg over trust access and financial information in 2017-2018.
Kohlenberg appears primarily in high-signal documents as a central figure in estate administration disputes. He is named as co-trustee of Carol Chomsky's Exempt and Non-Exempt Marital Trusts, and engaged in extensive correspondence with Richard Kahn (Epstein's pseudonym) regarding trust distributions, financial information, and legal disputes with Noam Chomsky. Multiple email threads show direct communication between Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff and Kohlenberg to arrange calls between 'Rich' (Epstein) and Kohlenberg about Chomsky matters. Documents also reveal that Chomsky later retained separate counsel (Steptoe & Johnson) for 'adversarial dealings with Max Kohlenberg,' suggesting the attorney-client relationship deteriorated into a legal conflict.
