About Joshua
Biography
Now in private practice, I gained valuable experience as a Managing Attorney with a legal services agency in New York City. I have a strong history of successfully representing clients in Real Estate transactions and Civil Litigation matters including money disputes, breach of contract actions, landlord-tenant matters, and many others. As a solo attorney I work to keep my overhead low so that I can pass that savings along to my clients. I am always working with my clients to keep fees low and affordable. Contact me today!
