Excellent
We hired Josh to represent our son. He was professional, responsive, and he provided excellent counsel. Thanks to Josh, the case was dismissed. We are very thankful that we chose him to guide us through such complex and difficult issues.

"Josh is an excellent attorney. He listenes to his clients and does an excellent job advocating for them. If you're looking for an attorney to hire, he is an excellent choice."
"I have had the opportunity to both work with, and as opposing counsel in trial versus, Mr. Josh Nielsen on many occasions. He always impresses me with his professionalism and attention to detail. His thoroughness and understanding of the law, nuances of a case, and strategy are a great asset to his clients. Additionally his staff is helpful and attentive. I would, and do frequently, recommend clients call Josh to handle traffic, DWI, criminal and family law matters. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Nielsen."
