Amazing Forfeiture Attorney

I can't recommend Josiah highly enough. He handled my forfeiture case with incredible skill, professionalism, and dedication. From the start, he clearly explained the process, kept me informed every step of the way, and fought hard to protect my rights. Thanks to his expertise, we won the case and re...covered what was rightfully mine. If you're facing a forfeiture issue, Josiah is exactly the kind of attorney you want in your corner.

Top tier

Josiah is not only top tier but the cream of the crop. He handled a case that was not only complex, but sensitive as well. If he didn’t l ow the answer, he’d research it and give you an answer whether it was good, bad or indifferent. Given the intricacies of this case, we couldn’t have really asked... for a better outcome. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing Guy & Even more Amazing Lawyer

Josiah is truly one of the greatest people i’ve come into contact in my life; such a genuine person and even more understanding. He has great communication & put in more work than any lawyer i’ve ever had; he works sunrise to sundown to make sure he can do every single thing he can for you even if th...at means calling you while he’s at dinner to make sure you know what’s going on with your case! He would stayed on top of everything & made sure i knew every step on my process never once left me in the dark. He would call and just ask how i was doing & made sure i was very comfortable with my case. Truly one of the greatest people i’ve ever met! Can’t thank this man enough for the hard work he put into my case everyday; beyond recommend this man, he truly cares about his clients & the work he does.
