Amazing and attentive representation

I engaged Attorney Robbins when I encountered a hostile work environment that left me with severe disability issues. He was attentive to all the details I provided and clearly spelled out all the possible outcomes and what would likely happen, best case and worst case scenario. He was compassionate... and dedicated, even calling me on weekends and answering my questions and making sure I was aware of timelines etc. Though my former employer dragged everything out for months, Josh was mindful of the time and expense it was for me and always prioritized time and efficiency with all of our communications. He exceeded all expections and got me a severance package neither of us anticipated. His calm and attentive disposition certainly makes him stand out as a great negotiator. I have already recommended him to several people who asked me about a great employment lawyer. He will always be my first recommendation.

Quality representation

Attorney Robbins represented me in my Divorce which was unnecessarily made complicated by my Ex-wife. Attorney Robbins focuses on resolving the matters in a very straight forward and cost effective manner. This approach is very important as most people in divorce situation act based on emotions which... can make the process lengthy and very costly. Attorney Robbins helped me keep my emotions in check and focused on the outcome that was in my best interest. Throughout the process, he was very patient and answered all my questions in a timely manner and kept my interest ahead. He is very thorough and reviewed the documents / communication with me before communicating with my ex or court. Some of my court hearings had a scheduling conflict with Attorney Robbins’s schedule which he worked out either by adjusting his schedule for my hearing or finding the best replacement from his team. My marriage / divorce involved lots of cultural issues (I had Indian arrange marriage) which attorney Robbins patiently understood and helped me navigate through it. With Attorney Robbins by my side, I had peace of mind and a quality representation at an affordable hourly rate. I highly recommend him. Best wishes for your legal matter.

Flawless Work Ethic, Loyal and will not stop!

I actually, found Josh on this site. I remember my first impression of him being WOW, what a compassionate guy. I say this because lets face facts, if youre out searching for a Divorce/Family Probate attorney, things probably aren't fabulous in your life at that moment. When I posed my question on t...he open forum, at 8pm, he responded quickly by saying "first and foremost let me say that I am so sorry you going through this", and it struck me. The following day, from a parking lot in my car on the phone, I hired Josh to represent me in what ended up being an absolute nightmare divorce/custody battle/criminal trial etc. And for the record, I am the MOTHER in this situation. Josh and I along with my family and a criminal attorney fought swiftly, methodically and basically around the clock in order to save my family. This is in no way an exaggeration, my ex spouse was attempting to take me young son away, out of pure desperation. Again, I am the MOTHER and the breadwinner. This man worked tirelessly, diligently, consulted when he needed to, and was by my side for 2+ years. He never gave up. He was and every day phone call for me, including nights and weekends, because the situation I was being dragged into required it. Every day some new legal issue showed itself due to my ex spouse, however, while they were unwarranted they were brought to the court, so we spent 2 years defending me from his ridiculous but very, very serious accusations. Josh, literally, worked night and day for 2+ years, and about 8 bankers boxes with court materials later....we WON. He WON for me. He is so well spoken, respectful of the judicial process, judges, yes plural, judges and even the most show boaters of the parade of attorney's he was forced to deal with. Every morning before we went into court, which honestly, was about 3 or 4 times per month, I sent him a picture of my son, and would tell him this is who we fight for....and he did, year after year, never giving up ever. I now have SOLE custody of my child, and am finally officially divorced after a 3 year period . But, I have SOLE custody of my child, and Josh saved my family. You will never meet a more loyal, ethical, well written and spoken person or attorney, than Josh Robbins. I know for a fact that my case kept him up plenty of nights, because it was THAT bad. Josh never left my side, believed in me and fought tirelessly on my behalf. You will absolutely be represented in the most thorough manner, by someone who is compassionate and tireless, that is just the best word to describe him, just tireless.
