Very knowledgable

Mr. Kosnett. I met with Mr. Kosnett regarding a dispute against my University. Unfortunately, I made the poor choice to use another attorney and regretted it almost immediately. After this attorney worsened the situation I returned to Mr. Kosnett and he again consulted with me at no charge. He was ...extremely knowledgeable and not only answered all of my questions but recommended options to attempt before hiring any attorney. In following his advice, I was able to resolve my issue without legal intervention, which was amazing. I found him to be very direct and realistic when communicating, and very strategic in his process. He showed a real in-depth knowledge of the law and higher learning institutional processes. I recommend him to my friends and family.

Knowledgable lawyer

James Kosnett was a great lawyer who helped me tremendously. The only negative thing I would have to say about my experience with Kosnett is that there were periods of time where I had no idea what was going on in my case, when I feel as though we should have had constant communication throughout the... entire case. Overall, I would have to say that I recommend James Kosnett because he is extremelyknowledgable, and helped me quite a bit. I would go back to him in the future if need be, because I feel as though he is reliable and efficient.

Thorough, knowledgable, tactical and aggressive when necessary, James Kosnett did a great job for me. I believe he was on top of my matter at all times.

A Quality Attorney

I feel so grateful to have retained James Kosnett. As my case goes on, I know he is doing his utmost to represent me as best as he can (and he is very qualified) so that we are successful. I know in my heart we will prevail as far as my case is concerned. I met James a little less than a year ago wh...en I realized that I greatly needed legal representation for me to deal with a university that terminated my doctoral program most unfairly and with much timely ignorance. I approached several attorneys online and James was the ONLY attorney to respond. I admired his manner both on the telephone and in my initial consultation with him. He made me question in a professional and supportive manner whether I really wanted to bring charges against the university. This approach made me feel quite confident that I had to proceed with litigation and because of James' counsel, I am so glad that I have done so. Once that we agreed to work together on this case, James made me feel more at ease and knowing in my mind and heart that I was doing the right thing. As the case as progressed, there have many "bumps in the road" as there would be in most law cases. James has been a great source of comfort in dealing with me concerning the frustrations that have occurred and that will occur in such cases. If I have questions, he is an e-mail or phone call away answering those questions very quickly. James and his partner have a very effective firm who alert me concerning the latest occurrances with me case. The firm is a bit of a family affair which, I think, makes for a close group of employees who work together effectively for the good of its clients. All in all, James Kosnett is a wonderful, supportive attorney and I am so glad and at peace that I am in his hands with my case. There are always uncomfortable, disconcerting moments in most law cases, I am sure. However, James always lets me know that the case is progressing and puts me at ease and so instills confidence in me. I know he has to be a wonderfully supportive attorney for all clients who seek his assistance and representation. ANY person needing legal representation would be wise to consult with James Kosnett and consider retaining him.
