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.

Genuine Honest Attorney that knows the Law!

I found Mr. Kosnett on this site and in need if making an urgent decision as to weather or not to a pursue a lawsuit against my university or not. Last minute I called talked to him via phone and 1 hour later was sitting in his office. Not only did he make himself available for me within the hour bu...t offered a free consultation. I have dealt with my share of attorney's in the past and typically when this happens they will ussually just " review" your information. And then start the "money" talk for advice on the case.In this case not only did he review, he got straight to the point, asked pertinent questions about MY expectations in this case as the client as far as outcome and then advised me with such sincerity. He told me the bottom line and facts regardless of what I "may have wanted to hear" which is priceless . The topic of " fees" we're never even addressed because he offered a better solution so that I wouldn't even need to persue litigation!(which I'm sure no one does if they can avoid it). He saved me stress, time, and MONEY all in this consultation. I walked in with such stress and left feeling so at peace with the proposed resolve by Mr. Kosnett. I am sooo appreciative ! His advice was spot on and I would DEFENITELY trust him to any future legal representation I may need in the future. If i got all of this with our first meeting i can only imagine what magic he could work in court! He voluntarily went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectaions. BEST HONEST legal advice IVe ever Recieved. :) Its people like this that give lawyers a good name again. Mr. Kosnett if you're reading this THANK YOU!!!!. And I would refer anyone that needs legal help to YOU!
