About
I've been a family law attorney for over 30 years now. I focus primarily on prenuptial agreements for couples getting married and mediation for couples getting divorced. I have an excellent track record with both. When it comes to prenuptial agreements, I have never had a single prenuptial agreement that I’ve drafted overturned or invalidated by any judge...not one. (And I work hard to keep the perfect track record.) And when it comes to mediation, I would estimate that approximately 95% of all cases that I’ve mediated have resulted in settlement agreements, allowing the parties to avoid trials and save a ton of time, money, and stress.
I am in excellent standing with the State Bar of California and have never had any disciplinary actions taken against me by the Bar. (You would be surprised how many attorneys have.) I have the highest rating you can receive from AVVO, and I am rated AV Preeminent in Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating you can receive and a rating that only approximately 10% of all lawyers have achieved. Also, in all my years of practice, I have never paid for any kind of advertising whatsoever...no internet, no newspaper, no radio. 100% of my work comes from referrals from other other happy clients or people who saw my reviews online. This is because I'm honest, I charge a reasonable fee, I work hard, and I get great results. While I can never guarantee those results, I'm confident that you'll be happy with my work. (Google my name and you will see that I have almost nothing but 5-star reviews anywhere on the internet.)
I help all types of clients with their Family Law cases...everything from standard, middle-class earners, to high-asset, and high-profile cases.

I usually don't write reviews, but I have to give credit when it's deserved! Scott Kosner is an outstanding attorney. My case is a divorce and child custody case that is extremely complex. Scott has managed to pretty much settle my entire case! He said " I am not a miracle worker". Honestly Scott is pretty darn close to a miracle worker! When I originally did my search on avvo and thumbtack it was a Sunday morning. I was stressed didn't know what to do or where to start! About 15 mins I received an email from Scott with his personal cell phone number.
I sent him a text explained my situation and he responded! On a Sunday!
He put my mind to ease told me don't worry about money we can figure out a plan.
Prior to hiring Scott I went for the free consultation and he explained my case what I was up against etc... he didn't rush me took his time I felt comfortable and at ease. After I would send Scott questions about certain things and he would always get back to me.
I hired Scott last min like a week before court and he was ready and prepared for my case! He even guided the opposing council and explained to her what action was needed. Of course, all in my best interest! Scott has a wealth of knowledge and has great strategic planning to make sure in the end the decision is fair and in his clients best interest.
Scott went over and beyond and it's not about the money he truly cares about the outcome of your case and your best interest.
If you need a great attorney Scott is the man you need!!!
I can't thank Scott enough for his help!! Such a blessing!!! Thank You!

I traveled across the country for a court date just to fight for parenting time with my kids where I live. For 2 years, my kids were not allowed to spend any time with me in my state of residence.
I had a TERRIBLE experience in my state of residence and was nervous about the outcome of a case in the other parent's state of residence.
I was able to get everything I could've asked for. It's more to come and I am looking forward to it.
I am not giving legal advice. If you have kids, they will grow up and ask what happened. If nothing goes your way, you should be able to show that you at least tried. If you never give up, there is always hope.
I highly recommend Scott Kosher and the Kosner Firm.

Kosner Review
From initial free consultation,
Mr Kosner was patient, personable, honest & thorough with responses. I had no knowledge of the necessary legal steps after I was served divorce documents. Through several more of my emotional inquires , he guided with knowledge which made sense in layman's understanding & quite professionally. His words & advice were trustworthy and when time came for initial Settlement meeting, he was confident in his representation.
Mr. Kosner provided legal services beyond his very fair fees. It is a rare find to acquire his caring & expert representation.

I hired Scott Kosner for Limited Scooe representation for a Child Support RFO. He was my second attorney, my first played the high retainer, bill as much as possible game. Scott and I had a phone consultation, he showed up to Court and immediately set my mind at ease. He was able to negotiate a support amount that was more than fair to me and did it with class and respect. I never could have done it without him. We were able to file a permanent judgement within a few hours and I will probably retain him one more time to finalize the paperwork of the Divorce. I would highly recommend Scott.
