One of the first attorneys to receive calls from families of victims of the May 24 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas was not a member of the State Bar of Texas, but rather it was Connecticut attorney Josh Koskoff.

The Bridgeport-based lawyer, who secured a $73 million settlement with Remington Arms on behalf of five children and four adults killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that left 28 dead, has become a high-profile advocate for victims of gun violence.
