Criminal/immigration assistance

Joshua assisted me when I had criminal issues. He explained to me the immigration consequences of certain crimes and assisted my attorney in obtaining an immigration safe plea. I always felt in safe hands with Joshua and am forever grateful!

An attorney with your best interest in mind

Joshua is very efficient, friendly, and has your best interest in mind. He assisted me in getting my naturalization paperwork settled. Joshua had also accompanied me for my naturalization interview which went extremely well. The paperwork that was prepared by Joshua and the Wildes team was accurate a...nd submitted to Immigration without any pushback. Absolute pleasure working with Joshua. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking to pursue their Citizenship naturalization within the US.

Astounding Lawyer

Joshua's attention to detail and dedication led us to one of the best day's of our lives. He was there for my mother from the beginning till the end of her case. He goes head on with any challenge no matter how difficult the case may be. He is thorough with his work, and research. Gave our family ho...pe and made sure we saw a new day. The steps he took from working the case to preparation prior to the interview was beyond our expectations. We have recommended him to our close friends and family. No doubt for all our future needs he will be the one we hire.

Thorough and knowledgeable!

We showed up at the law firm for a prep session a few weeks before our green card interview to find out that the original attorney assigned to our case had left the firm and that Joshua would be taking over. The transition was very smooth and it was as if Joshua had been our attorney all along - he h...ad reviewed our files meticulously before the meeting, which made for a very thorough prep session! He provided useful tips and answered all of our questions. He came with us to the actual green card interview and he was a great resource. He also provided helpful follow up information after the interview. Joshua is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him!

Thank you!

Few words are needed to describe Joshua Mitson as my lawyer. Extremely professional and a deep humanitarian, he treated my case as it was his personally and he executed the case in court with a passion few lawyers demonstrate. He was never too tired or too busy to answer any of my questions. His prof...essionalism is incredible and he is always extremely respectful. I recommend him as a lawyer with 100% confidence as he not only has experience in trial he has the will and soul to defend anyone he represents. All I can say is that I thank God for putting Joshua in my path during one of the hardest moments of my life. Thank you Joshua, you are amazing.
