Very professional and communitive

Mr. Koszdin was very professional. I’m pleased with the way he handled my case and of course with the outcome (I won) .. His communication with me leading up to the hearing was great and if I had any questions he vas very easy to get a hold of.

Very very satisfied

Kenton Koszdin definitely did a lot of work behind the scenes for me. I am an Epileptic and got denied 2 times and the 3rd time I was able to requested a hearing and that is when I contacted another Lawyer and he lead me to Mr. Koszdin. Mr. Koszdin is straight to the point. He gets the job done and a...s I was waiting to see the judge a woman who works at the disability office asked who my attorney was when I told her she said, "oh you'll be fine. He's a feisty little guy" lol. After speaking on the phone with him for my prep he was direct and told me what areas to get into an what areas to stay away from within the hearing. He's tough and direct and that is what you need out of an attorney. He won my case and is well worth it. Thank you Kenton Koszdin!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
