Joshua Denbeaux

Denbeaux & Denbeaux Law Firm located in Westwood, NJ has assisted me and my family for several years. They are extremely knowledgeable and their expertise in several areas of the law is excellent. If they cant give you the best representation possible, they will refer you to very competent attorne...ys that will be able to handle whatever legal situation you are facing. They are very professional. I would highly recommend them without hesitation. I can always count on them and so can you!

Joshua Denbeaux was extremely helpful

I first went to see Joshua Denbeaux 5-6 years ago when we were threatened with foreclosure. I didn't feel hiring him at that time was our strongest position because we were in no position for attorney's fees. It's five years after our loan modification. I misunderstood the bank speak of the terms of ...the loan. He clarified it all for me, explained what will happen in the future and assured me I still have a good deal. All this in the free consultation session. I highly recommend him because he has drive and is not afraid to stand up to the banks.

Excellent lawyer

Joshua Denbeaux has proven to me what a difference a GREAT lawyer makes when handling foreclosure matters. Unlike other attorneys I had previously worked with at a different firm, Joshua Denbeaux was extremely knowledgeable about and experienced with foreclosure matters (including negotiating with ba...nk counsel), highly effective in attaining a timely settlement in the best interest of his clients, attentive and responsive (rather than dismissive) to our concerns and goals, & strategic/willing to think outside the box to attain those goals. He treats his clients with respect & with an attitude/willingness to aggressively advocate for his clients. He has been a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him.
