Personal Injury

Injuries caused by someone else’s negligence can leave you facing pain, medical bills, lost income, and deep uncertainty. At Kosnett Law Firm, our **Los Angeles personal injury attorneys** are here to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially. We handle a wide range of injury claims, including car accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip and fall incidents, wrongful death, and more.

Our team understands the tactics used by insurance companies to minimize payouts. We fight back with strong investigations, medical documentation, and legal strategy aimed at maximizing your compensation. We never treat you like a case number — we take the time to understand your needs and build a claim that reflects the true cost of your injuries.

If you’ve been hurt in an accident anywhere in California, you don’t have to go it alone. Let us stand up for your rights and help you get the care and compensation you deserve.

Criminal Defense

If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime, your freedom, reputation, and future may be at risk. Our experienced **Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers** provide aggressive, knowledgeable representation in both misdemeanor and felony cases throughout California. We handle charges ranging from DUI, drug offenses, and theft crimes to serious violent felonies, sex offenses, and white-collar crimes.

At Kosnett Law Firm, we know how prosecutors build their cases — and we know how to tear them down. Whether it’s negotiating for a dismissal or reduced charges, suppressing illegal evidence, or taking your case to trial, we fight to protect your constitutional rights every step of the way.

When your future is on the line, you need an advocate who understands the law, the system, and how to win. That’s what we deliver.

Professional Licensing Defense

Your professional license is your livelihood. A complaint, investigation, or disciplinary action can threaten everything you’ve worked for. Kosnett Law Firm represents licensed professionals — including doctors, nurses, therapists, teachers, real estate agents, accountants, and others — in matters before California licensing boards and administrative agencies.

We provide legal guidance through every stage of the disciplinary process, from the initial notice of investigation to administrative hearings and appeals. Whether you’re facing allegations of misconduct, substance abuse, criminal conviction, or other regulatory issues, we offer strategic, sensitive, and effective representation.

Our goal is to protect your license, your career, and your reputation. With decades of experience in professional licensing defense, we know how to work with licensing boards and how to stand up to them when needed.

Education Law

Students and parents often feel powerless when dealing with school districts, colleges, or universities — especially when academic futures or civil rights are at stake. At Kosnett Law Firm, our **education law attorneys** advocate for students and families across California in a wide range of education-related disputes.

We handle suspension and expulsion hearings, disciplinary investigations, Title IX complaints, special education and IEP matters, due process claims, and other conflicts involving public and private educational institutions. We also represent students in higher education facing academic dismissal, misconduct allegations, and discrimination claims.

We believe every student deserves access to a safe, fair, and inclusive learning environment. When your rights or your child’s education is on the line, we’re ready to step in and help.

Wills & Trusts for California and Oregon

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take for yourself and your family. At Kosnett Law Firm, we help clients across California and Oregon create wills and trusts that protect assets, reduce the risk of conflict, and ensure your wishes are carried out. Without proper planning, state law will dictate how your property is divided, which may not reflect your goals or provide for the people you care about most.

A well-drafted will ensures your intentions are clear, while a trust can help your loved ones avoid the costly and time-consuming probate process. Trusts also offer advantages such as privacy, asset protection, and tax planning opportunities. Whether you need a simple will, a revocable living trust, or a more complex structure like an irrevocable or special needs trust, our attorneys can design a plan that works for your family and complies with the laws of both California and Oregon.

Because many of our clients have ties to both states, Kosnett Law Firm is uniquely positioned to draft estate planning documents that are effective across jurisdictions. We take the time to understand your priorities and family dynamics, tailoring every plan to provide security for today and peace of mind for the future.

Health Care Directives for California and Oregon

A health care directive, also known as an advance directive or living will, allows you to put your medical preferences in writing and appoint someone you trust to make decisions if you cannot speak for yourself. These documents are essential to protecting your rights and giving your loved ones clear guidance during times of medical crisis. At Kosnett Law Firm, we assist clients in California and Oregon with preparing health care directives that provide both legal protection and emotional relief for families.

Medical directives can cover a wide range of issues, including life-sustaining treatment, end-of-life care, pain management, and organ donation. They also allow you to designate a health care agent or proxy who will have the authority to make decisions consistent with your values and instructions. By documenting your wishes now, you can reduce uncertainty, avoid disputes among family members, and ensure your voice is heard even in difficult circumstances.

Because California and Oregon laws differ in how directives are executed and enforced, it is important to work with attorneys who understand the requirements of both states. Kosnett Law Firm provides clear, compassionate guidance to help you navigate these legal differences and create documents that are valid, enforceable, and tailored to your unique needs.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements for California and Oregon

Marriage is both a personal and legal partnership, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements give couples an opportunity to address financial matters with clarity and fairness. At Kosnett Law Firm, we help clients in California and Oregon draft, review, and negotiate agreements that protect assets, define responsibilities, and reduce uncertainty. These agreements are not about planning for separation but about promoting transparency and strengthening trust in a marriage.

A prenuptial agreement is created before marriage and typically addresses issues such as property division, spousal support, debt responsibility, and business ownership. A postnuptial agreement serves a similar purpose but is signed after the marriage begins, often in response to significant life changes such as receiving an inheritance, starting a business, or revising financial arrangements. Both types of agreements must meet strict standards of disclosure, fairness, and voluntariness to be enforceable.

Because California and Oregon laws apply different rules to the validity of these agreements, it is critical to work with attorneys who understand both systems. Kosnett Law Firm has the experience to ensure that your agreement will stand up in court if ever challenged. We take a respectful, collaborative approach to protect your interests, comply with the law, and provide peace of mind for your future.
