Degrading to women

He is degrading to women and he preys on making them feel like he is saving them. He is dishonest about the possible outcomes and then inflates costs and time in his bills.

Outstanding

I was represented by Mr. Rieger in divorce proceedings in 2016-2017. Josh came highly recommended by a mutual friend, and from the moment I met him, I knew that he was the right choice for my legal representation, even after meeting with two other counselors before him. I was immediately bestowed w...ith a sense of confidence, and felt a calming sense of empowerment as my marital case proceeded. Josh was always available, responsive, and highly skilled in navigating all aspects of my divorce. I was stricken by how competently he was able to handle the obstacles posed by my ex-wife and her very experienced (and frequently unreasonable) attorney. Josh was always sure to be “one step ahead,” in essence preparing me for whatever situations he anticipated might arise. It was this attitude that propelled me to a very favorable settlement. I would have no reservations in recommending him to anybody in need of a matrimonial attorney, and thank him immensely for the help he provided me and my children.

Divorce

I was so lucky to have Joshua L. Rieger as my divorce lawyer. I owe my peaceful life now to his hard work and wisdom. Sometimes, I look around and think, "Without Josh's unconditional help and support, where would I be now?" I came to the U.S. from the other side of the world, and I don't have any cl...ose relatives here. I was stuck in a horrible marriage, and I did not know how to save my life and my children from my abusive husband. The first time I met Josh, he listened to me carefully. I have a heavy accent, and my English is not perfect. And that made it difficult for him to understand me, but Josh had enough patience to listen to me. Then he explained my rights. He explained everything in detail. That time I was so scared and nervous. The only thing I wanted was divorce. I agreed to divorce in whatever condition, but Josh explained to me that I have to think about how can I support my children and myself after the divorce. He was confident in what he's doing. We went to the court a few times till Josh got all my rights. He was always there for me even when he was sick. He always returned my calls and replied to my e-mails as prompt as he possibly could. Josh is not only a professional and dedicated lawyer. He is a real human being. He always considered my spouse's rights too and encouraged us to communicate with each other to make the divorce process easier for the both of us and for our children.

Dependable, knowledgeable and tough.

Mr. Joshua Rieger is a true professional and handled my case with the utmost professionalism and knowledge. He pushed my case through the system, kept me focused on the end result and was respectful regarding sensitive matters. I would highly recommend him. Phonecalls and emails were returned in a p...rompt fashion and my questions were always answered. Any outside referrals he made for me were very professional and efficient. The office staff are wonderful to work with too, always pleasant, kind and efficient.

Excellent attorney

Josh was fantastic to deal with on my case. He was prompt in responding to all of my concerns. He followed up dilligently with the opposing lawyer at all times. Made me feel at ease when things did not go as planned during the case.
