Josh Kahn was born to be a lawyer. He fought to the bone for me and all my interests. He was crystal clear in explaining the law and the insurance details of a complicated 3-party accident involving a ride-sharing app.
After being in a crash that destroyed my car and put me in the ER for six hours, I needed a friend. Someone that knew how to listen and then help me set priorities. Josh was good at that too.
Josh and his partners are ex-prosecutors, meaning hard negotiators and experienced trial lawyers. I got the strong sense that the insurance companies and other law firms involved knew this, and were rightly intimidated. And the proof - the settlement was double the estimate I got from the other lawyers I talked to before hiring Josh Kahn.
Above all else, Josh is someone with enormous integrity, a real Mensch - 5 stars all the way.
Mr. Kahn is a prudent and relentless attorney that keeps his clients objectives priority. From the moment I consulted with Mr.Kahn for my personal injury case, he was determined to layout a plan for what I wanted to do and how we will get there. He was insightful in his approach on who to recommend for the healing of my injuries and also strategized ways to create a strong case based on the evidence. Mr. Kahn's defense was that of a steadfast approach to justice in proving my innocence and ensuring a justifiable outcome based on the facts. My experience with Mr. Kahn is one of abundance of confidence in his ability to represent his clients case and unfaltering respect for his professionalism. Highly recommend
Trial attorney with a range of experience including a mix of public service and private practice for more than a decade. My practice focuses on Plaitiff's Personal Injury matters. If you or someone you know is in the unfortunate position of being injured because of someone elses's negligence, myself, my partners, and my associates at Schalk, Ciaccio & Kahn, P.C. will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Using our experience as seasoned trial lawyers we take on the insurance carrier's to achieve superior results for our clients.Â

Lawyer review
My lawyer acquired all pertinent needed from me to successfully bring the case to an end. The insurance was the "foot dragger" in my case and then brought up a time limit for the case while not responding to my lawyer when pertinent questions were posed to move the case along.

Great experience; excellent attorney
Josh turned a truly awful experience into a hugely positive one for me and my family. Josh handled my personal injury case with professionalism, a depth of knowledge, confidence, and a fighter mentality. We always felt we were in good hands and knew that Josh was on it throughout the entire ordeal - he was very transparent and communicative throughout. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney you can trust, and someone who will fight for you.
And, great hair.

Highly Recommend
Josh was a great attorney. Starting with the consultation I knew he was going to do everything possible to get the best outcome. He always checked in with me after each doctors’ appointment to see how it went and to see how I was feeling. Josh was always available and easily able to contact. He made sure to update me on my case each step of the way and ask for my opinions and explain things when I didn’t understand them. I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer.

I found Josh after two unpleasant experiences with other attorneys. He quickly and expertly got my cases resolved in the best ways possible - ways the other attorneys did not even propose. Highly recommended.

I'd like to repeat it: excellent service provided for a reasonable price. Josh was very informed, knew what he was doing, and got the job done. There were no surprises, and enjoyed chatting with him during the down time. He is very personable and intelligent. I'd definitely use him again if the need arises.

A dedicated professional, trustworthy attorney, rare.
You have not stopped being my Rock of Gibralter in this court proceeding. You've tirelessly worked on my case with clear concise advice to help me forge ahead to an upcoming trial where all the best groundwork has been laid out for me. But that is not the only reason I am so grateful to you. You've helped me far beyond the client-attorney relationship in regaining my belief that I can, will, and deserve the best possible outcome.

Professional, excellent experience
I've dealt with several attorneys over the years for various reasons and Mr. Kahn is by far the most professional and knowledgeable attorney I have dealt with. It is rare to find an attorney that enters the field in order to make a difference, not for the paycheck/prestige. Fortunately, with Mr. Kahn and his law firm, you have found that rare commodity and are in good hands.

Hack
I accepted a plea bargain based on this "experienced" attorney's counsel. It was defective. I am now 18 months into the process of cleaning up his mistakes. Now pursuing malpractice claim against him, his partner and his firm.
