Exceptional Divorce Attorney

Joshua was my guiding light through a very ugly divorce. He was always accessible, listened when I was upset, and gave excellent and cost-effective advice. He helped me understand when it was best not to take action in situations where it would have been a waste of time or money, or make me appear ...petty in front of the Judge who would ultimately be signing off on the divorce, whether through trial or settlement. He did not write opposing counsel meaningless letters just to raise my bill. Joshua helped me stay strong when I was ready to cave. The end of my divorce was much more profitable for me had I not considered his advice. Every step that he took, and every recommendation that he gave, had both me and my minor child in mind. I highly recommend Joshua Bickman.

Great Lawyer

Joshua Bickman really helped me get everything that was important to me in my case. Being a man the system is usually built against us and almost always pro-mother. When I sat with him I was nervous because divorce is not easy and I was being threatened by the mother that she was going to take my dau...ghter and I was only going to see her on her terms and on a limited basis. I gave Mr. Bickman all the information about my case and what I wanted. As close to 50% custody, and not lose my 401K and that was about it as everything else is replaceable. Our case was sent for mediation since we were so far apart and could not come to an understanding. At mediation Mr. Bickman said let me mange the room, trust in me and I'll get you what we discussed. That he did, he controlled the room and the entire flow of the conversation, he discussed each point of contention with a purpose and a plan. Mr. Bickman spoke in a specific order in order to get exactly what I asked for. In the end I have 47% custody per year, and my 401K. He told me from the day I met him exactly what to expect and how things were going to happen. It has been over 5 years since my divorce, I still call Mr. Bickman and he also calls me to check in and see how my daughter and I are doing. I can tell that Mr. Bickman genuinely cares about me. I hope nobody ever has to go through divorce as it is not pleasant, but if you do I would recommend Joshua Bickman as he will guide you through the process, be straight forward and honest.

Excellent International Divorce Lawyer

Mr. Bickman helped me with my complicated international divorce. Mr. Bickman's knowledge and experience helped me navigate the complex procedures and requirements of Florida and International law. I owe Mr. Bickman a huge debt of gratitude for getting me great results and peace in my life. He is a c...lass act and treated me and everyone else involved in my case with respect and dignity, he really cares. His attention to detail and preparation throughout the process was impressive. I could tell he could be very aggressive if he needed to but my case required a gentler approach which makes him a great negotiator. I highly recommend Mr. Bickman if you are looking for a highly qualified, intelligent and kind hearted divorce and family lawyer.

Great Attorney for complex divorces

I hired Mr. Bickman to handle my highly contested divorce in 2015. My case was extremely complicated and required Mr. Bickman to be very detail oriented. I have three children all under the age of 10. My husband and I had a substantial marital estate. My husband and I have a very toxic situation whic...h required Mr. Bickman to help us work through hostility and tension on both sides which he was excellent at handling. Mr. Bickman's patience, kindness and compassion throughout every step of the divorce process made me feel so safe and takien care of. When it came time to trying the case Mr. Bickman was second to none with his preparation and organization prior to trial. During the trial he handled the direct examination and cross-examination of over a dozen witnesses magnificently. At the end of the day the results are what matter most and Mr. Bickman's efforts were what got me the results I wanted and more. Me and my children are forever indebted to Mr. Bickman for his kindness and superior lawyering skills.

Intelligent and Compassionate Attorney

Joshua is a straightforward and intelligent lawyer that genuinely cares about securing a safe, emotionally supportive, and financially sound future for me and my children. After struggling to make ends meet in Miami for 10 months as a single mother receiving no financial support from my estranged hus...band, Joshua secured a desperately needed relocation order allowing my children and I to move and enjoy a much higher quality of life. Joshua continues to fight for us, always making the needs of my children his top priority. With his help, I have emerged from a traumatic life event stronger and happier than I have been in many years. I would highly recommend him to others in need of competent legal representation.
