Review

James was extremely helpful in clearing up an incident that involved underage drinking during my junior year of college. He was able to resolve the matter and got the charges reduced from a misdemeanor to an infraction with minimal fees. I can now start my senior year with a fresh start! Thank you ag...ain for everything!

Buyer Beware

Do not hire James Kosnett. I hired this attorney to handle an education related case for me and after he accepted a large retainer, he did not follow up with me for nearly six months. Mr. Kosnett was supposed to obtain a refund for a college class that should have been paid for by my universi...ty. I assumed he was working on my case during the six month period I did not hear from him because he told me he needed some time, but I was wrong. When I finally called to see what was going on, he told me he was finished with the case. Basically, all he did was send one email over a six month period before calling it a day. This was after I paid him $2,500.00. I have never paid so much for so little and I would never recommend Mr. Kosnett's services to anyone. He was extremely difficult to deal with during our consult as well, constantly interrupting me and at times, I felt he was simply rude and unprofessional. I regret hiring him and I should have known better but I gave him a chance because he seemed like he could deliver. Again, I was wrong. Buyer beware. Check out some of the other reviews on this site and it will be easy to see that my experience was not unique.

Mr. Kosnett was a great help!

Mr. Kosnett and his firm were very helpful and knowledgeable about the law. He was extremely accommodating of my unique situation and budget as well. I would recommend retaining his services to anyone.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr.Kosnett is a Brilliant Super Lawyer you definitely want to have on your side ! He is focused, he comes well prepared for the trial and he knows how to fight for you in court. My nursing license was in jeopardy because of a ridiculous complain. Mr. Kosnett knew how to straighten things up and clea...n things up in the court. He definitely took the huge stress off my shoulders when representing me in court. He is the Best Lawyer in Town I highly recommend. My gratitude will be chasing him forever!
