Before opening Josh McIntosh Law, Josh worked as a federal Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable William O. Bertelsman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky and as a felony prosecutor for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office. Through working for Judge Bertelsman as well as the three years he spent representing the Commonwealth of Kentucky, he developed a strong passion for all aspects of being a trial attorney, including litigating, counseling, negotiating, writing, and researching. As a life-long citizen of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati Area, Josh now devotes his practice to serving those in his community by providing them with high-quality, results-oriented legal representation.
During his federal judicial clerkship he further developed his excellent legal writing and research skills—both indispensable qualities for an effective trial attorney—which culminated in a published federal appellate opinion that he drafted for a case in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Additionally, during his time as a felony prosecutor, he cultivated his oral advocacy, counseling, and negotiation proficiency. For example, he represented the Commonwealth of Kentucky in numerous felony jury trials while contemporaneously managing an average caseload of above 140 felony cases, negotiating plea deals for these cases, and providing advice and counsel to police officers, victims, and witnesses on a daily basis.
After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a B.A. in History, Josh earned his law degree at Salmon P. Chase College of Law, where he worked to hone his skills through his superior work ethic and passion for success. Results of his efforts included graduating in 2012 cum laude and in the top 20% of his class, serving as a lead editor on the Northern Kentucky Law Review and as a member of the Moot Court Board, the publication of two articles, and receiving the Henry Clay Scholar academic scholarship.

Josh is a fierce advocate for his clients. Not only does he a have a deep knowledge of the law and a knowledge of the most effective ways to fight for his clients, I've also seen first hand his excellent 'bedside manner' in communicating with his clients compassionately and effectively in tough situations.

I've known Josh in his role as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. He is always well prepared, and is a very forceful advocate for his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. Josh worked for 4 years in the prosecutor's office and that experience helps him defend his clients today.

Relationship: Friend
Josh and I were study buddies during law school and remain friends. He excelled during and after law school - practicing with the Commonwealth Attorney's Office and then as a Law Clerk to a Federal Judge. Josh will either have the experience and skill to handle your case, or else he will find the right lawyer for the job. Most importantly, he'll provide great customer service along the way.
