Joshua Schwartz to the rescue

Joshua Schwartz was a life raft in the storm with my ex husband. A court order in 2012 stated that he was to contribute to a disability trust as well as maintain a life insurance policy with the trust as beneficiary. He violated that court order. Joshua Schwartz to the rescue! He was always avai...lable, he replied to my concerns quickly and he calmed me down when I was panicking. My case may have been simple compared to others, but I always felt like I was a priority for him. He saved my sanity and gave my kids back the safety net their dad tried to take away

Family law

I hired Josh after firing another attorney who poorly represented me. Josh stepped up and quickly went to work getting up to speed on an already established, messy case. Josh did an amazing job representing me, and the outcome was fantastic considering the circumstances. Josh’s communication was alwa...ys thorough, timely, and detail oriented. Highly recommend Josh.

Great attorney

Joshua was very thorough when going over the details of my case as well as kept me updated on outcomes in court. We worked together to accomplish the task he was hired to do. It was a great experience and I appreciated all his efforts.

Joshua Schwartz excellent lawyer

I hired Joshua Schwartz to help me with representation in a case. He was attentive, well spoken, very intelligent and sharp. Josh not only made me feel better having him at my side but he also made me feel as if I had a fair chance. His cognitive thinking skills and knowledge of the law make him an ...incredible lawyer and I would recommend Josh to take on any case. Josh was very specific of what I needed to do to carry myself in a positive manner. He also was brilliant in court and was well respected by all in the courtroom. Thank you Josh!

Great attorney!

had Josh represent me for over 2.5 years and I cannot say enough good things. He was a great attorney, very responsive, always kept me in the loop, and always made me feel at ease when going into a court date. Of course you always want an attorney that's on your side, but you also need someone to be... realistic so you know all possible outcomes of the situation. In the end, we were able to get what I was asking for and I am beyond happy to be done with this situation! Very rarely, Marc would need to stand in if Josh was out and he was just as a great!
