About Joshua

I have lived in Palm Beach County, Florida for more than 30 years, of which I have spent the last 13+ practicing law in West Palm Beach.

 

With a passion for justice,  I have always fought for the rights of those entangled with criminal charges in an abusive criminal justice system.

 

I began my legal career at the Office of the Palm Beach Public Defender, where I was given the unique opportunity of defending thousands of clients with charges ranging from second degree misdemeanors to felonies punishable by mandatory life imprisonment. During that time I invaluable experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system.  

 

I am experienced trial attorney, and a skilled,creative legal researcher. 

 

Having participated in numerous trials and final violation of probation hearings, I understand the nuisances of the criminal justice system.  I have drafted and argued countless motions, specifically, Motions to Suppress and Motions to Dismiss, which have allowed for the charges in most of those cases to be dropped.  I have successfully argued to have drugs, firearms, child pornography, and confessions suppressed, as well as various felony criminal charges dismissed, including 2 cases for SELF-DEFENSE, commonly called STAND YOUR GROUND.

Review Joshua LeRoy

THE ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY

Posted by

My husband hired Mr. Leroy for me and we couldn't have picked a better attorney. With my background I was sure looking at serving a bit time. Even with the best attorney under my belt. I stayed on the straight and arrow and to my surprise Joshua was able to get me time served and let me continue my new way of life. I had been involved with identity theft and Mr. Leroy even weeded thru all the years that the person had been using my name without charging me an extra cent. He continued to go back and forth with the State Attorney for a couple months until getting the only conclusion acceptable to him. This man is a God send. Hopefully I will never need to but for certain this is the only attorney my family and friends will ever use

JOSH LEROY got the charge against me DISMISSED!

Posted by

I contacted several attorneys after receiving a citation for Failure to Obey a Lawful Order, which is a criminal misdemeanor. Four lawyers contacted me back. Of those, one of them refused to represent me. Another told me that I didn't have much of a case and that I should take a plea deal. The third was a smooth talker who was confident he could get my case dismissed, but charged much more than I could afford. The fourth was Josh LeRoy. He let me know from the start that he was completely on my side and was almost certain he could get my case dismissed. His rate was half that of the other's. I was not sure who to trust, but I am so glad I chose Josh LeRoy. He is not a long-winded salesman who boasts about his previous cases like most attorneys. He told me my options and gave me a fair price. He let me know what to expect and that he would fight for the best possible outcome. My wife was very worried about the charge against me, but Josh reassured us that he would take care of everything, and he did. Two days before the scheduled court date, Josh contacted me to inform me that the charge had been dismissed! I am SO THANKFUL for my lawyer, Josh LeRoy! He did exactly what he said he would do, and for a reasonable amount. He kept me informed and handled everything. All of our contact was over the phone and through email. I never had to meet anyone or appear in court, which is great, although I could shake his hand and tell him thank you in person. I would recommend Josh to anyone who needs a great attorney, but doesn't want to pay through the nose for high-quality services. I hope I will never need a criminal defense attorney again, but if I ever do, Josh LeRoy will be my first choice.

fantastic results

I hired Mr LeRoy to handle my citation that I received from pbso. I am a cdl holder and couldn't afford to have points on my license, he had to go well above and beyond on my ticket since my company accidentally paid it and plead me guilty. Communication between not only his assistant but LeRoy himself I am very pleased to say that he kept the points off my license and out of traffic school. I highly recommend him to everyone I know and if ever in any trouble again he will be ty e first person I call.

Never gave up.

Posted by

From the beginning I thought my case was hopeless. Josh had me come in his office explained the good the bad and the ugly about my case. Instructed me on what to do and what my options were. He was persistent on helping me get through this and to help turn my life around. He never seemed like it wasn't going to work out and kept high moral the whole time. On what seemed to be impossible to get through he managed to get me the minimum and helped reconstruct my way of being and now I am a different person. I highly recommend him for any situation that may seem unmanageable. He has a good heart and really cares about his cases . I'll always be grateful for my new chance.

Best traffic attorney in West Palm Beach

Posted by

Mr.Leroy was hired for a traffic ticket. He was very attentive and was honest about possible outcomes and communicated with me throughout the process. He got my case dismissed with no points or traffic school. I recommend him and would use his services again if needed. He was very affordable.

Someone gave my son Josh Leroy's number when he was in jail for a traffic charge. Mr. Leroy treated this case as if it were the most important case in the country! The court appointed attorney that my son was going to use was agreeing that my son should loose his license for ten years. Mr. Leroy took the case and my son had only to pay a small fine and he had no points and no suspended license. My family has since used Mr. Leroy for different matters. There are not enough words to describe the integrity and skill that this attorney has.

Very professional and great
