Joshua A Law

Obnoxious and cocky and unprofessional. The communication is few and far between he would go several weeks without communicating with me and then drop a random email. Talks a big game during the consultation, but when it’s time for litigation, he sides with the other party and makes excuses as to why... it’s not possible to win the case.. Also, when I hired another attorney, she told me that she has taken several of Josh’s clients because when its time to to go to trial, he quits.

I contacted Josh & told him I wasn’t receiving my alimony but not sure of what was paid or owed. He took $1,200 and looked into absolutely NOTHING. I got years of bank statements but when I asked if there was a way to tell what was and wasn’t paid & he said yes so I then disregarded my massive pile o...f bank statements since he told me he could find out. The day before court his helper called asking for bank statements and that scared me a lot because he obviously wasn’t at all prepared. I asked Josh specific questions pertaining to my case & he told me it was fine. Now because of his negligence I’m going to be $5,450.00 in the hole All the blame was put on me because apparently I was supposed to go to the courthouse and get the information that no one told me to do but they swear they did but never did. This is the absolute worse lawyer and lawyers office I’ve ever heard of. If you want to loose money you don’t have & want a lawyer who wants to do nothing at all except blame you then pick this guy for the job. So because he did nothing I’m ending up owing my ex money & paying for my ex’s lawyer which by the way was half the price of Josh & his lawyer actually did their job.

After 3 years I was able to get a signed declaration of paternity. It took hiring another attorney to do what this office was not capable of. I give 2 stars for the lessons learned beginning with not hiring an attorney that is quick to take your case without first learning your situation. I had polic...e reports of abuse and if and when my was in the state and available took the children the situations were not well to say the least, when even known. The retainer did not cover any motions towards the goals set in the 5 minute consultation. The case sat idle at times until motion to dismiss due to lack of prosecution when I would receive refresher fees. Multiple times my ex and I came to agreements that Josh law refused to entertain Nor did he entertain my request for a GAL. It was only when a social worker for my daughters when asking me questions that I could only answer with my attorney knows about this and the past three years worth of concerns, and they contacted his office did they call me back stating there were valid and credible concerns needing addressed immediately. I refused to pay another 750 for a motion stating the lack of information causing failure of previous motions which they offered to file without further payment. When that motion sat idle 2 months due to the way it was filed I obtained new counsel. This office offered me back 500 dollars if I’d sign a non disclosure which I couldn’t be any more offended by and suggested they refund the full amount given the situations the children endured during those years. New council was able to have the declaration, bypassing mediation, and orders giving the safety and security needed signed and in my hand that this office promised years prior in less than 3 months. The reviews saying this office does not call back or return emails are true as emails I sent went unread. It took calling the bar to contact them to have a return call around the time the social worker wanted to speak with him. Emails that sat unanswered included a draft from my account 2 weeks after a refresher fee they could not explain. Josh Law taught me about the side of family law that needs attention and reminder that good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good. Also there’s a huge difference in legal counsel and legal aide and not to expect proper representation by someone who doesn’t take the time to know your family/situation. After all the calls over the time they did “represent” me the question always asked do the children live with you? Given they never moved to finalize my paternity I suppose they knew how insecure the situation really was. There’s more though that’s a good portion of my experience.

I can't thank him enough for everything he did for me and my kids. When I finally decided to file for divorce after coming from a very abusive marriage, my ex-husband did everything he could to punish me and my kids. After I got a restraining order against him, things got worse and he left us with ze...ro financial support. My previous attorney didn't do much and eventually left me because of the complexity of my case. I was lost and hopeless. Then I met Mr. Law. He was professional, empathetic, and accepted my case, which was a huge relief. From day one, he demonstrated confidence, assertiveness, and reliability. He didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but I trusted him completely and am so grateful for that. He is also very knowledgeable and efficient, avoiding unnecessary discussions and always sticking to relevant points. During four years of a massive divorce battle, Mr. Law kept me and my kids safe. I was granted temporary sole custody and awarded the right to sell assets to support us financially while my ex refused to pay temporary child support or alimony. A few months ago, I finally got divorced. I now have sole custody of my kids, and I am now financially capable of starting fresh.
