Kosta is actively involved in the Contra Costa County legal community.  He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa County Bar Association's Elder Law Section.  He serves as a civil law discovery facilitator for the Superior Court of California Contra Costa County and also as court-appointed counsel in Conservatorship cases in Contra Costa County.  Kosta is dedicated to helping the elderly and giving back to the community through his volunteer work with Contra Costa Senior Legal Services.  Kosta was a Delegate in the Conference of California Bar Associations, which is involved in helping to shape elder and civil law legislation. He is also a proud member and volunteer with the Tri-Valley Cal Alumni Group. 

Kosta was born and raised in the Bay Area. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, graduating in 2002 with honors. Kosta tried out and made the Cal football team as a walk-on place-kicker (ask him about his less glamorous version of the "Rudy" story for kickers) and volunteered as a practice assistant for the Cal women’s basketball team. Kosta went on to attend Santa Clara University where he earned his law degree.

​

Kosta’s hobbies and loves include sports, traveling, the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.  He is a Bay Area sports fan, especially of Cal football.  Kosta prides himself on hard-work, a commitment to his clients, and making a difference.  Ever since he can remember, Kosta has loved stories about hard-working, good people, who overcome struggle and adversity to beat the odds.
