Mr. Kosnett has truly re-defined the term "lawyer" from my perspective. Mr. Kosnett has proved that I was wrong about my former prejudice towards ALL lawyers as being people who are unethical, immoral individuals for no other reason, save for the very nature of their (---after all) chosen profession. However, Mr. Kosnett has demonstrated by exquisite example in my recent Grade Appeal Case against CSU%& (which settled only a week ago), that not ALL lawyers deserve to be labeled with adjectives such as: "selfish," "sleezy," "money-grubbing," "untrustworthy," "uninformative," "passive," or "lazy" as these are words that would be absolutely unbecoming of Mr. Kosnett. He was always enthusiastic, professional, calm and collected, and he always kept me informed of the progression of my case (down to the very minute!). Moreover, he was consistently honest about what my predicted financial costs would be, what the odds were of un/success throughout, and he passionately pursued a speedy and positive resolution of the case. He fought for me aggressively, but never AGAINST the opposing side; rather, he knew what ways would be most effective, and he knew that working WITH them was what had to be done--if we were going to get what we wanted at all. He remained calmly determined, as if he always had a trick under his sleeve (just in case). That being said, however, he also remained very aware of certain times when he was being purposely ignored, which resulted in the case appearing to drag along as time wasted away with no logical reason from the other side. This was when Mr. Kosnett let the "big guns" out and called the other side on their bullshit---rekindling that fire that he started under their asses, and in no time brought them back on-track, ordering them to hurry up and finish what needed to be done. And although their asses were painfully charred, they knew they could no longer treat me as they had in the past, which was to ignore me and stall for time. Not when Mr. Kosnett's on the case!! Thanks to Mr. Kosnett, my case never went to trial. This was because of a man who was committed to settling the case outside of court so that a trial could be avoided. He explained this to me from the beginning, which was quite frankly a tremendous relief, as there was no telling how much the case WOULD HAVE cost if it had gone to trial. The most telling bit of evidence I can offer on behalf of Mr. Kosnett came at the end of my case, when I wasn't too happy with some advice he gave me. After questioning him about it, he simply said that he had "always advised me in the same way [he] would advise [his] own daughter"---and I don't think there's ever been a lawyer to who would treat his client in the same way as he would his daughter, do you? If you need a lawyer, and you want representation by a person who is behind you, and devoted to seeing that your case is resolved as QUICKLY and as FAIRLY as possible, you NEED James Victor Kosnett!! And to all you OTHER lawyers out there---take a lesson from the man who has re-written who a lawyer IS and what a lawyer actually DOES; what you other lawyers SHOULD do and what you other lawyers SHOULD be: be like James Victor Kosnett!! Thank you Mr. Kosnett for everything. --J
