A lawyer you can trust to fight for you, work with you, and explain EVERYTHING to you.

I was facing a grand theft charge, a charge that could have RUINED my life, as I know it. Josh took the time to visit me in jail, set me up with a bondsman, worked around my schedule to set up appointments and never failed to return a call. Even though that was the worst experience of my life, it was... nice KNOWING I had Josh on my side. I would recommend him to ANYONE for any case. True professional, from explaining the law, to meeting with you, to giving honest information about your case.

Your attorney for LIFE

Josh becomes your fiercest advocate and no matter what tells you what your case looks like bad or good. He will make sure you arrive at the very best outcome. He is completely honest and wont take the easy way out. He know the law and and he knows all the judges. I consider him a friend and he saved ...my life. He turned a bad case into a good case. You will chose him as your attorney for life

Made me feel comfortable

I was arrested for the first time in my life for a drug charge. I had a problem and from day one told Mr. Rydell that. He not only counseled me on the law, but he helped me get involved with a recovery program. We are coming up on my case about to be dismissed but I have to say, what made me feel ...the best about this whole crazy legal world was having Mr. Rydell at my side. He was honest and genuine with me.

Csae Dismissed

I hired Josh for a possession of cocaine case where the drugs were not even found on me. After a miserable night in jail, a friend sent me to see him and after I explained what happened he made me feel that my life wasnt going to be over. As a new professional a could'nt have any sort of record, we... argued a motion and a judge found the cops acted illegal and threw the case out. He ended a nightmare for me and also helped me understand what I can do in the future to prevent anything like this from ever happening, because he explained my rights to me.
