Joshua Traeger

Having unlimited options of lawyers in Virginia specializing in UCMJ, I chose Josh who was recommend by a dear friend. He quickly explained to me my options with no filters or false hope. He is very to the point, no “ what if’s” or hypotheticals. He was clear with myself and wife, answered every ques...tion within minutes of emailing and worked diligently to thoroughly prepare for my case. During my trial he remained smooth and steadfast working his craft. In my eyes, the odds were staked against us, but he continued to push through, articulate facts, and remained focused on the end goal, which was justice. The process is grueling, but I felt confident in who I had chosen to represent me. I am grateful for his service, dedication, and continuous effort he put towards my case.

True North Legal Group, specifically Josh Traeger, singlehandedly saved my military career, and preserved my retirement. I never could have guessed I would require Mr. Traeger's services, but from first contact, I felt comfortable ceding control. My confidence in Josh grew throughout the duration of ...his representation; his sheer intellect, tenacity, empathy, and knowledge of military law astounds me. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to anyone requiring his services, and applaud his business sense, dogged tenacity, direct communication, strategic thinking, and mastery of both written and oral communication.

Josh is not only passionate about his clients and seeking justice on their behalf, he is a proven winner! His attention to detail, legal acumen, and prior experience as a military judge advocate make him an ideal counsel for veterans. You want him in your corner when the stakes are highest! Truly exc...eptional!

Josh provided expert guidance that can only be given by someone with deep expertise and breadth of experience in the military justice system. Josh’s Air Force background and calculated confidence were his greatest attributes as my lawyer. He communicated with me clearly when I needed it most, and a...s we got closer to trial, he was excellent in handling all communications and processes independently, allowing me to focus on myself and my work towards my unit and the mission. Because of his experience, he was able to provide accurate timelines and critical decision points that provided clear expectations. He was willing to be brutally honest and direct to me as his client and was strategic and thoroughly prepared as my defense in the courtroom. He worked hard and provided me confidence during the most challenging and stressful time of my adult life. Although I hope no one has to share such experiences in the first place, if you are in need of legal defense, I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Josh Traeger. He’s the lawyer that you want in your corner if/when you go to trial.

I'm a Senior Airman in the US Air Force. I hired Josh for completely fabricated sex assault crime and received a full acquittal. I was very skeptical because of the financial burden It put on me and my family. That being said, it is without a doubt the best investment of my life. Josh worked extremel...y hard both in and out of the courtroom bringing up new information on how things should be done not only to the government but to the judge. And what he did outside of the courtroom pales in comparison to what he did when court started. When the court martial started, it's obviously stressful beyond words. However, Josh was still willing to talk to me in between and give me honest opinions, along with his next moves to keep me not only informed but answer any questions I had. But that alone means nothing if he wasn't a great lawyer. He was amazing in every aspect. Josh came highly recommended by people in and out of the military. What Josh did in that courtroom was utterly amazing. He made the government prosecutors look extremely unprepared, ill-equipped and frankly incompetent. Josh's passion and knowledge within every aspect of the Court martial was astonishing to watch. In that courtroom it was blatantly obvious that one individual was miles ahead of the other and that individual was Josh Traeger. I hope that no one ever needs a lawyer for any reason. But if you do, I could not recommend Josh enough.
