The Closer

I was in a 5 year legal night mare. We were in a revolving door of one complaint going away and another would take its place. This had gone on for so long I had banks and other agencies coming down on me. Action had to be taken. Josh was recommended to me through one of the attorneys that was working... on the case and the new issues that had risen was out of his arena. Josh met with me and quickly did his assessment and brought himself up to speed with all that had happened over the past 5 years. He immediately began to draw up resolutions to settled the matter I hired him on and the issues that caused the issue in the first place. The third and fourth order effects of his work laid the foundation to end all the other issues from the past 5 years. His aggressiveness, communication and negotiating with the other parties was instrumental in bringing everything to a close in a matter of months. Hind sight, I believe if I had gone to him in the beginning a lot of things would have played out differently to my favor. I greatly appreciated his directness and professionalism. I pray I never have to deal with such horrible circumstances again, but should something else arise in this day of lawsuits he will be the first person I call. I highly recommend Josh, except to the bad people that bring this sort of stuff on!

Divine Intervention

After I was recklessly rear-ended in an auto accident, I was very lucky to walk away from my totaled car--it was not until later that my injuries became worse and began to manifest, but by that point I was already attempting to deal with the insurance companies on my own. When I finally broke dow...n and called my attorney, he was too busy to take my case and referred me to Josh Johnson. For me, that was "divine intervention". From the time that the accident occured, I tried to protect myself. I took photos at the scene on my phone and went home and made a sketch, kept records, recorded my phone calls with the insurance companies, etc.....and I'm sure that being proactive helped put the pieces together when I finally met Josh Johnson. Josh is everything you would want in an attorney: he is punctual, organized, direct, compassionate, forthright and had an uncanny sense of knowing what I was going through. He handled my case flawlessly and was extremely easy to work with. You have to pick and choose your battles in this life, and this was one with which I realized I needed help. I am profoundly thankful that Josh had my back and was able to win my case. It was not a large case, but he handled me the same as a large client. I can't thank Josh Johnson enough for helping me to put the accident behind me, emotionally and financially. If you are looking for a local attorney, I would highly recommend Josh Johnson.

Consummate Professional

Josh Johnson is a straight-shooter who is a competent, level-headed, and effective attorney. Josh took my unusual case and diligently worked with the slower-than-ever legal system in a manner that was not only in my best interest but ultimately resulted in the best possible outcome. He properly set...s expectations, doesn't sugar-coat, and does what he says - those things go a long ways in my book. I give my unequivocal recommendation of Josh to anyone in need of the services of a quality criminal defense attorney .

Legal issue related to tenant occupancy

Josh helped us identify and consider legal issues related to tenant occupancy of rental property, Virginia law re landlord rights and responsibilities vs. those of tenants, landlord recourse options if needed, and certain critical communications with tenants and rental agents. His information provid...ed was very clear and understandable, very prompt, and the communications he helped us with were very effective. We enjoyed working with him very much and would gladly do so again.

Strongly recommend this attorney

I was represented in two cases by Josh Johnson. He empresses with his ability to communicate the pertinent information, explain options and advise on a course of action. I felt was well informed of the course of action and then kept informed of progress in a timely and responsive manner. I was given ...very good advice and had an excellent outcome on both occasions..
