Highly Recomend

Josh did an excellent job handling my case in a timely manner. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He took the time to explain all my options thoroughly.

Divorce

My daughter has learning disabilities and was trying to get a divorce. We were so lucky and happy to find Josh Schwartz! I could contact him anytime. He was a great help through the whole process, explained everything, prompt, caring, helpful and intelligent. The divorce was quicker than I thought it... would be. We were extremely pleased with Josh. I would recommend him to anyone.

Reccomendation

Josh was through in explaining every aspect in what to expect during my divorce. He also doesn't pull any punches in his beliefs as to a fair settlement for both people.

Professional, Organized and Friendly

Joshua was everything a good lawyer should be for a divorce; thoughtful, helpful, efficient with time and able to explain everything in simple terms offering pros and cons of different options.

responsive and good advocate

Going thru a divorce is difficult, no matter who initiated it but having a competent and responsive atty to advocate for you and walk you off the ledge when needed is critical. I would recommend Josh and the entire firm for divorce, post divorce issues as well as Guardianship controversies that aris...e. Divorce is even more complicated when having an adult disabled child in the mix. Your lives are attached long after the divorce; having a firm that understands these dynamics is a must. I appreciate the work they have done (and I'm sure will do).
