Josh is a Magical

Josh is amazing. Totally worth the time as he really cares. I was long at jail time and Josh up front told me there would be no jail time he would get charges lessened.

Pay the dollars and hire this man!

Josh was hands down the BEST lawyer I could have hired. I found him by typing in best lawyers in bucks county for DUI and hired him right away for a driving while DUI suspended charge. He came up with 2.5 plans for me! Plan A was lengthy and I was doubtful but resulted in my license back early and a ...lowered charge.. completely successful. I am riddled with Anxiety and he answered every single time I texted or called for any question or concern. He let me know everything i needed to know every step of the way, was ready for things to turn south the whole time, confidently! He also knows some peeps! He knows how to handle the judges and police in a kind personable no BS kinda way. I work in a bar and have his number ready to go! I highly recommend him, and if ever I need again, no 2nd thoughts he is my guy!!! He also was lax with my payment schedule as long as I had it all paid before sentencing, which made it affordable.. thank you so much JOSH!!
