A waste of money

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.

Mom with son on 504 plan fights for her son to walk in graduation ceremony do to school unfair decision not to allow him

I hired Atty.James Kosnett to assist me in a issue with the Principal @ Orville Wright Middle School- Mr. James Stapleton & LAUSD regarding my son. I had tiredlessly tried to get the principal Mr. Stapleton to allow my son the opportunity to walk in his 8th grade graduation due to their error in not ...following a 504 plan that was implemented do to my son's physical disabilities. He was given unfair grades which The school along with heads of the LAUSD ignored my letters, phone, calls & even when I physically went to the principal my request fell on deaf ears. It wasn't until I retained Atty. Kosnett & with his expertise, persistance & the power of his letter that was submitted to the principal & LAUSD I then received a call from the principal personally stating that my son would be able to walk in the June 16th graduation ceremony. I had been denied for weeks & was told they would not change there decision, well after being contacted by Atty. Kosnett that was certinaly not the case anymore. I recomend Atty. Kosnett very highly 100% to anyone. He will get the job done & you will be satisfied of the end results. Because of his expert knowledge my son who had lost faith in the school system can now know he will be able to walk with his twin sister & his fellow class mates. Thank you Atty. Kosnett for beleiving in my son & his dream to walk in his graduation. You gave us hope when all else had failed us. From a very greatful Mom. Beverly
