Chris, Words cannot express my gratitude for all of your hard work and guidance throughout the past month. Thank you so much for your help and for negotiating the best possible outcome. I feel truly blessed to have been represented by you. I am back on the horse and riding strong. I know that I will overcome and succeed in my life as I have always planned. I hope God blesses you and your family.

Hey Chris, It has been too long since we have spoken, but I wanted to send you some thoughts. Every time the holiday season rolls around, I think of how thankful I am for you helping to get me through a few horrible months of my life. Actually- it isn't just around the holiday season...it is year round this thought comes to mind. You helped to get me through some scary stuff that could have sent my life on an unfortunate path, and for that, words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for you. You allowed me to keep just living my life the way I imagined it. Now, here I am. 27 years old, married, career. Simply lucky to have an amazing life... I hope you know how much I appreciate your help. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope 2014 brings you excellent health and happiness.

Chris has handled everything from minor matters to muddier ones. He is very comfortable in the courtroom and “he shows well.” He dresses as well as I do- and that says a lot about him. He understands the big picture and is a guy who pays attention to details. I have seen his court briefs and manners in front of the family court judge and the criminal court judge and how he handles the DA who is chasing me around. Nothing scares this guy! He is cool and calm. He knows his law and I am sure he can help your friend’s son.

Once again… Thank you Mr. Cosca!!! I will never forget your kindness and your help! Never!

Chris, I just wanted to write and say thanks for getting me the 12 years with half time. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything less than 32 years. Not only was the motion written well- you were pretty elegant enough to get some points across in front of the judge- thanks a lot man, you rock! I am focused on getting sober when I get out of here, and like you say- no hard drugs!

Dear Chris, This seems the time of year for some reflection and accordingly we wish to thank you for your professional help this past year. It certainly eased our minds.

Dear Chris, Thanks for looking into (this). I’ll never be able to express how grateful I am to you and (XX.) PS The adoption became final! The 'Silver Lining in the clouds.

Chris, there are no words to tell you how happy we are. You have given X,X, and K a chance at life. You went in the court like 'Superman.' The whole family wants to wish you a very happy New Year. You did one super job for us. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Chris, you have been such an encouragement to my parents and me through this horrible ordeal. Your professionalism mixed with your sweet heart made us all feel a little more at ease and a little less like outsiders during this trial. You have even been a catalyst in the healing process. Give your family a hug and tell them thanks for the extra time this case took away from them.

Hi Chris, I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on my case. After you left, I had to meet with the court clerk to go over the paperwork out in the hall. She informed me that the judge never gives out community service and that he must have been in a good mood. I feel very relieved this is almost over. I have signed up for for my community service, which they have assigned me. I hope to complete within 5 months of working weekends. I have learned valuable lessons from all of this. I just wanted you to know how much my family and appreciate your help and that I will refer you if I have an opportunity.

Dear Ms. Scully: I wish to comment upon the exemplary performance of Chris Cosca in the matter of People v. Steve Bird, a jury trial, which I heard in 3/2000. The recent decision of the Court of Appeal speaks for itself. Because appellate decisions are limited to the issues raised, they seldom reflect the full nature of the trial court proceedings. In the Byrd matter, a 3 strikes case, the prosecution faced the considerable task of presenting evidence necessary to support the allegations (in a 15-count Information) that the defendant committed 7 separate armed robberies and attempted murder. Mr. Cosca was a very organized, tenacious, efficient, and perceptive prosecutor. He was exceedingly effective in both the pretrial (in limine) and trial stages, especially closing argument. He always makes good use of his time, was vigorous in argument yet respectful when issues or objections were resolved against him. He faced experienced opposition and did so with grace, skill, perseverance, and professionalism, the kind that would make you extremely proud of him. The witnesses were largely young people working in a fast food restaurant to help support their education. They were terrified when they were robbed, and they were equally terrified to be sworn eye-witnesses in the jury trial. Mr. Cosca was very adept in accommodating these witnesses and making them feel comfortable in the courtroom setting. The 12 eyewitnesses were, as you might expect, less than completely consistent in their photographic or physical lineup ID’s. Most said they were “sure” of the defendant’s ID, while others stated they “thought” the defendant was the perpetrator. Mr. Cosca was able to handle these irregularities (and remember them) in a very useful and effective way that left no doubt in the jury’s mind that the defendant was the perp. The closing argument of Mr. Cosca can only be described as exceptional. The case required (more than the average felony case) a close attention to detail, which Mr. Cosca was able to do in admirable fashion. It was a pleasure to be the trial judge in this case before such a well-prepared deputy of your office.

Chris Cosca is the man!!! Cool, calm, and collected. I had a very complicated case in a very difficult county and was sure the outcome was bleak. Chris always kept his cool, assuring me that I had nothing to worry about. In the end he got me the best deal imaginable and another chance at fresh start. Thank you Chris

He is a amazing attorney! My case looked like I was definitely going to get the worst deal possible, 3 years later he made it so I would never do time and got the best scenario possible! I would definitely refer anyone that needed an attorney to contact him. Not only is he a great attorney but he's also a great guy and kept my mind at ease through the whole process to were I hardly ever panicked. Thank you for everything again Chris Cosca!!!

Chris successfully navigated and guided me through a complex legal situation. He vigorously advocates for his clients and did an absolutely amazing job on getting my issues resolved. He was extremely prompt and very responsive. Easy to reach, very down to earth to talk to. If you're in need of legal representation, Chris is the guy you want in your corner.

Mr. Cosca goes above and beyond to meet his clients at the point of their needs with a willingness to help that far exceeds any expectations. Thank you, Mr. Cosca, for doing what everyone else said was impossible. You are my Perry Mason. Vivian W.

Chris is a very talented criminal defense attorney. I hired him to help me with the marijuana charges and it was out of Sacramento County. He's completely exceeded my expectations. Chris is very professional, kept me updated and explained every step. He always answered my calls, texts and emails. I would recommend Chris Cosca to everyone in need of a defense lawyer.

Chris has unmatched professionalism and the utmost highest interpersonal skills you could ask for when going through the hardest times you'll ever face. He handled my case with finesse and expertise, and was ultimately able to reduce what looked to be an assured felony, to just a misdemeanor. Thanks to Chris and his team I was able to keep my dream career, continue supporting my family, and live out the rest of my life as I had originally planned - when all seemed lost at first. My heart and respect goes out to this man and I will FOREVER be grateful for what he did for me.

Professional, confident, intelligent and patient. Those are qualities that Chris embodies. Chris represented me in a case that spanned over 4 yrs in fighting it. The DA was requesting a remainder of jail time to be served but at the sentencing trial Chris presented the facts in such an amazing way that made sense to the Court and the ruling was in favor of time served instead of more jail time. Thank you Chris, I am forever grateful! I mean this in the best way possible that I hope we never meet again professionally. All my best to you and your family!

I can't thank you enough for helping me get through this process. I feel like a 1000 pounds have been lifted from my shoulders. Words cannot express how appreciative I am for all that you did for me.
