James Victor Kosnett

James Kosnett is an outstanding attorney. He has been practicing law in southern California since 1976 - a total of 37 years. His vast experience in Licensing and Educational Law was certainly very key in having me be successful and winning my case. His ability to be trustworthy, responsive, knowl...edgeable, and keeping me informed could not have been better. His guidance in my case was crucial in setting the tone and establishing the essential groundwork that led to my success. I am very grateful to him for having represented me in my legal affairs and I certainly could not having asked for a responsible lawyer.

I hired Mr. Kosnett for my CSUN case. CSUN had violated due process and my civil rights when several of their administrators denied me meetings, and refused to collect any evidence on my behalf for a case on teacher misconduct. I did all the work before meeting Mr. Kosnett collecting student testimon...y and so forth. i hired Mr. Kosnett above other lawyers since he said he a good success rate representing students against CSUN. Now I know that was a bad decision. I expected some offer or some progress in the case. Mr. Kosnett DID NOT give me any day to day updates on my case at all, so it remains very unclear if he did any work on my case at all. After a month of no activity, I received an email saying that CSUN was not going to give me anything, and Mr. Kosnett's firm was not pursuing the case anymore. I come from a poor family, and paying Mr. Konsett $3000 of my mom's money, so he could something with this case has been a waste. As I said it remains to be UNCLEAR how much work if any was put in my case, but what I can judge him and his office on are the results, and the results are NOTHING. I think I probably made more progress on my own filing complaints with Department of Education and other entities to at least initiate some sort of investigation. Again, I did have other lawyers very interested. I would not recommend Mr. Kosnett, or his office for any future clients.

Dear Mr Kosnett, We want to express our high apreciation for your efficient and professional work on helping my son to be able to clear all the incorrect decision LAUSD made on my son being spell from his school due to a wrong and misunderstanding facts. With your excellent experience and knowled...ge, you made the impossible thing happen to clean this misunderstanding with LAUSD Administration. Thank you again for outstanding help.

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.

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.
