One of the best men I've ever met.

This man has helped my father out many times. He's stuck his neck out, worked late, and helped with financing. One of the greatest men in general I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Would trust him with my life. Thanks for your excellent service.

“Outstanding lawyer, great contact, exceptional service, in my opinion one of the best in central Florida”

He helped me on a criminal case and was one of the best attorneys I have ever met. He is very professional, caring and knowledgeable, definitely well worth the money. He kept in contact with us every step of the way, even when it was not necessary. Without a doubt, I will be using him for any of m...y future needs, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal counsel. He is definitely a credit to his profession and one of the best lawyers I have ever met.

AFFORDABLE EXCELLENT SERVICE & COMPASSION, ABILITY WAS FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED BASED ON YEARS EXPERIENCE,

FATHER'S RIGHTS ADVOCATE. Josh Stepped into my case with both feet running after my initial firm severely hampered the likelihood of a positive outcome for me. josh corrected several misteps that had been made by my prior counsel. josh then vigorously studied my case to be fully appraised of my circu...mstances and, through his efforts, enabled a favorable outcome for my ongoing case. he is honest, well versed in case law, and diligent. though we have both moved on and my case continues i can state that without his involvement i would not have had an opportunity to raise my daughter. AN ATTORNEY YOU CAN TRUST.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
