About Joshua
Biography
I am a licensed North Carolina attorney practicing and serving clients in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties. My practice is primarily focused on family and domestic litigation, with a keen attention to child custody, child support, divorce and domestic violence cases. With a high level of passion for the law, my main priority is to advocate on behalf of my clients and achieve outstanding results while maintaining prompt and effective communication.
I am currently Senior Litigation Counsel at McIlveen Family Law Firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am also Certified as a Specialist in Family Law by the North Carolina State Bar, a distinction earned by less than 1% of all active attorneys in North Carolina.
