Josh knows business, not just law.

Josh has handled advising us on sweepstakes advertising laws as well as a debt collection. Josh does an excellent job of giving legal advice while also understanding the risk/reward of business decisions. What makes Josh exceptional is his ability to quickly understand business models and then use ...his law expertise to assist in protecting and moving business forward.

Direct, honest and a pleasure to work with......

Josh came highly recommended to us and we have worked with him in a few areas over the last couple years. I can always trust that Josh has our best interests in mind and only pursues areas that have an ROI for us. He sets great up-front expectations on what we can expect from the process, a realist...ic end result, and time frame. When he lacks knowledge in a particular area, he is the first to say so. This, in my experience, is not normal. We are lucky to work with him.

Trust Josh Brown Completely

Josh is a life-long friend. When I had a legal need he is the first person I thought of going to. He did a very nice job for me. He is a quality person and a quality attorney.

Trustworthy and professional attorney/client relationship

Josh Brown provided me with excellent legal advice and counseling in regards to an entertainment industry agreement I engaged in. He reviewed an unusual contract and outlined in understandable detail the pros and cons of its contents. After reviewing his initial remarks I had several follow up concer...ns which he addressed in a clear manner. Furthermore, he negotiated with the contractor's legal team in order to put me in a stronger position. He also counseled me on how to improve my leverage should I find myself in a similar situation in the future. I can say with strong conviction that I was advised very well by Josh Brown. I had a full and absolute understanding of the contract and its outcomes, as well as an improved position based on his work. Most importantly, there was a very high level of trust in seeking his legal advice.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
