About Joshua
Biography
I am a native of the Tampa Bay area and have lived here for the past 36 years. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in both Political Science and Criminal Justice, I began my legal career at Stetson College of Law’s prestigious law school in Gulfport, Florida. During my time there, I focused my training in litigation in all areas of Criminal and Civil Trial Practice, becoming a member of Stetson’s nationally top-ranked trial team, and competed with schools from around the country, beating teams from Harvard, Georgetown and Duke.
After receiving my Juris Doctorate degree from the Stetson College of Law, I began my tenure with the Pinellas County State Attorney’s Office as a Prosecutor in the Sixth Judicial Circuit working with State Attorney Bernie McCabe. During my time there, I held many positions, including Lead Trial Attorney in the County Court Misdemeanor Division, where I, among other things, was asked to teach new prosecutors and law enforcement about various topics, including DUI law and enforcement. Further, I served as a Felony Prosecutor, focusing in the areas of Domestic Violence, Stalking, Child Neglect and Sexual and Child Abuse. Throughout my career as an Assistant State Attorney in Pinellas County, I prosecuted over 3,000 criminal cases and took over 60 cases to trial.
Upon fulfillment of my contract with the Pinellas County State Attorney’s office, I began my solo practice in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I focused in the areas of Divorce, Marital and Family Law and Criminal Defense, helping people throughout the Tampa Bay Area, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Sarasota and Manatee counties. Eventually my solo practice grew into a successful partnership with offices in both Pinellas and Hillsborough County. Since turning my focus toward Divorce, Marital and Family Law, I have been successful helping my clients with litigating matters ranging from Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Paternity, Disestablishment of Paternity, DNA tests, Modifications and Enforcements, Restraining Orders and Injunction and Child Relocation while building a successful practice with my wife, Dina Busiglio Sheridan.
I hold a license to practice law throughout the State of Florida and in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida. I am a member of the Florida, Hillsborough, St. Petersburg and Clearwater Bar Associations, as well as a member of the Florida Academy of Trial Lawyers. I can be seen on Fox 13 News Ask-A-Lawyer and heard on .
I take pride in my no-nonsense, knowledgeable and thorough representation of my clients in Family Law, (Child Custody, Child Support, Paternity, Disestablishment of Paternity, DNA tests, Modifications and Enforcements, Restraining Orders and Injunction and Child Relocation) cases.

Passionate and Responsive Lawyer
I hired Josh Sheridan in my divorce and child custody case after using 2 lawyers that were both non-responsive and not moving forwards. He took my case on at the eleventh hour of a pending trial and worked hard to prepare. Josh also managed to push my case forwards in lieu of an opposing attorney th...
Joshua Gammon Sheridan's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Josh throughout my legal career. I have handled cases against him while I was a prosecutor and along side him in private practice. I routinely consult with him on legal matters due to his experience and expertise in multiple areas of law. He is knowledgeable, well respected within the legal community and a zealous advocate on behalf of his clients. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"If anyone is thinking about hiring or referring a client to Joshua Sheridan for criminal defense or for a domestic violence hearing, that’s probably a good idea. I called Josh when my client was in jail, criminally charged with domestic violence, and facing a domestic violence injunction. My client was out of jail the next day, Josh stayed in regular communication with both of us, the criminal charges were dropped, and Josh won a contested domestic violence injunction hearing by creating a timeline of events that called the veracity of the “victim’s” allegations into serious question. It is hard to imagine how anyone else could have possibly done any better. You have to love it when your client has his “best day in court.” Thanks Josh!"
"Josh is a seasoned litigator that gets big results for his clients. He has significant subject matter expertise in tort litigation and fights hard for his clients. He works hard for his clients and understands their concerns."
"I endorse this lawyer. I was opposing counsel against Josh in a very contentious divorce. I found him to be reasonable, honest, and solution-oriented, all while zealously advocating for his client. Since then, I've routinely sought his advice and counsel on matters and do not hesitate to refer clients to him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Sheridan on several cases and always found him to be professional, competent and a zealous advocate for his clients."

I've known him for decades, and he is a bright, hard working attorney. I am so grateful to have someone as trustworthy as Josh to refer my clients to in the event there are any criminal allegations or family law troubles."
