Attorney James Victor Kosnett has represented students and licensed professionals throughout California since 1976. University students, and public and private school students of all ages, have been successfully defended from charges of cheating, plagiarism, sexual and other misconduct, and have been helped to avoid expulsion, minimize or eliminate sanctions, and obtain reinstatement, transfer, and or refund. For doctors, nurses, and other licensed professionals in every field in California, Mr. Kosnett has successfully defended their licenses against discipline, including revocation, suspension, probation, and public warnings. He has also obtained licenses for those who's applications have been denied. Mr. Kosnett often negotiates a deal that avoids the time and expense of lengthy litigation, but has also successfully litigated at every level. A graduate of Yale University and UCLA School of Law, Mr. Kosnett's experience ranges from school hearings at every level (elementary through post-graduate), the Special Education Hearings Office, the Office of Administrative Hearings, and federal, state, and local agencies, to Courts at every level (Superior to Appellate state courts, and federal District Courts and Circuit Courts of Appeal). He is also admitted to the U.S. Tax Court, and has never lost a case before the Board of Equalization or the Franchise Tax Board.
Mr. Kosnett especially enjoys enabling a student to advance or graduate, and assisting a professional in obtaining or preserving his or her license, often utilizing negotiation and alternative dispute resolution to achieve the best result for his clients at the lowest possible cost.

We hired Mr. Kosnet knowing it was an uphill battle. He did nothing to defer the suspension or guide us. He sat idly by and collected his fee. Waste of money and time; we would have been better representing ourselves.
"Mr. Kosnett is a brilliant lawyer and does a great job of representing his clients. He has over 35 years of experience in practicing law. I endorse him strongly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known James for many years and know him to be a very competent and conscientious lawyer."
