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.

Joshua Bickman Disaster

I hired Joshua Bickman in April of 2015. I am following the Avvo review guidelines to explain what Attorney Bickman Failed to Do: Failed to be organized. He asked me several times for financial items that I had already sent. Failed to be compassionate. I am overwhelmed by the divorce legal process... and have many questions. Mr Bickman would just tell me to " Be Quiet" instead of addressing my concerns. Failed to articulate a convincing argument during mediation. I have a pre-nup with a clause that should have worked as a bargining chip. Mr Bickman failed to use it in our favor. Failed to show up for a meeting. We had twice confirmed a strategy session meeting to go over what we would ask for or be willing to give in mediation. Mr Bickman did not show up! I was was there by myself with a blank notepad, heartbroken. Failed to read the judges memo or order regarding the court fee for mediation. Instead of starting mediation, we used up valuable time (mediation has a strict time limit) to leave the court house and go to a store to buy a new money order. This made us look very unprofessional to the mediator and opposing counsel. My feeling is Mr Bickman relied on past experience to just coast by, instead of spending the time necessary to be well prepared on an individual case basis. I was very disappointed with Attorney Joshua Bickman.

Mr. Bickman is an Excellent Divorce Attorney

I hired Mr. Bickman to represent me in my highly contested divorce. His knowledge of the law and courtroom skills were excellent. he was always available by phone and text. Mr. Bickman charges a fair price considering how hard he worked for me. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Bickman for helping me... navigate the most difficult time of my life and for getting me the results I deserved.

Stay Away from Mr. Bickman!

Mr. Bickman took me for a fool. He keeping my Divorce case open for stupid reasons to get money from me. Then to my final Divorce hearing there was no MSA (Martial Settlement Agreement). Now 6 months later my ex-husband is taking me to court again for modification since Mr. Bickman did nothing corr...ectly! More money I have to spend on another attorney now. A divorce that should of been less than $3,000 is now costing me over $7,000.

After meeting with several lawyers in the Miami area, Joshua was the only one who could properly address all concerns and questions. He was experienced, kind and a relief to have on my side. He was always available when needed and I was very happy with the results of my case. I would hire him again a...s well as refer him to all family and friends.
