Absolutely Incredible

If you are struggling to decide which lawyer will best represent you, just close all your website tabs and go with Mr. Joshua Traeger. From the very beginning, he was extremely professional and laid out everything I needed to know very clearly. He responded to my emails and phone calls within minutes... almost all the time if I had any questions. You could definitely tell that Mr. Traeger puts in countless hours preparing your case making sure it’s the best it could possibly be. In the courtroom, Mr. Traeger without a doubt outperformed and dominated the scene. I absolutely have no regrets hiring Mr. Traeger to represent me.

a beacon of hope during times when I needed it most

Me.Traeger is an outstanding attorney for any matters pertaining to military law. He and his firm were there for me when it mattered most, and he was a beacon of hope during the most unsettling time of my life. He broke down every specific of my case, and make sure I understood everything that was go...ing on completely. He really brought a level of expertise that impressed me, and my chain of command completely. Would recommend to anybody facing any form of UCMJ action in any branch of the military. He fought for me, and I know he will fight for you.

Tireless Advocate

I've worked with and against Mr. Traeger on many occasions and these interactions have demonstrated the tireless devotion he brings to every case. He brings an excellent courtroom demeanor, approach to witnesses, be them hostile or friendly, solid case strategies backed by the actual evidence, and ge...neral legal knowledge, are all areas Mr. Traeger excels in. I could not recommend a criminal litigant more highly.

Posted by Forensic Expert | February 18, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Outstanding Trial Lawyer

Having worked with and against Josh countless times, I can honestly say he is one of the finest trial lawyers I've ever encountered. Whether it is working with the highly sensitive nature and challenges associated with a domestic violence case, or an adult sexual assault and rape trial in today’s mi...litary climate that has seen increased scrutiny of such cases, or dealing with a diverse array of witnesses involved in an attempted murder case, Josh has exhibited a versatile capacity far surpassing his peers in effectively managing the numerous requirements, demands and responsibilities required for successful litigation. Josh is the consummate professional and highly effective in leading trial teams. His litigation skills are at a superior level and never falter. His professional interpersonal demeanor is continuously beyond reproach, which results in Josh being an extremely effective and highly competent litigator and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse him.

Incredible Attorney

Mr. Traeger takes the time to walk you through everything you need to know about your case, from start to finish. He takes pride in knowing the law inside and out, and expertly navigates the rules when explaining case strategy. You will not find a better litigator. Everything Mr. Traeger does ...in his case prep (that I saw) and in the courtroom is designed to win. That said, he is also principled and conscientious. Because of the values he conveyed to me, I trust him with everything I told him and everything that happened in the case. Bottom line, Mr. Traeger is many things: brilliant, personable, kind. He also has a towering courtroom presence. But above all, he is trustworthy. He'll shoot you straight, and he will go to the ends of the earth for a case.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Josh is a bull dog in the courtroom. He will fight for you until there is no fight left in him. I trust him completely and would not hesitate to recommend him. He is a worthy opponent as well, I don't ever want to see him on the other side of the aisle again."
