Smart, Effective, and Supportive

I highly recommend Joshua Bedwell at MKFM as a trusted family law attorney. My ex-spouse was very litigious. I went through a difficult and lengthy divorce that was filled with legal, financial, and emotional stress. Throughout the process, Joshua was a source of calm, professional advice. He lis...tened carefully to my issues and information, since no one knows my life better than me. Joshua worked hard to try to settle matters that could be settled reasonably outside of the courtroom. When it was necessary to go to trial, he was extremely well prepared and argued persuasively. His pre-trial motion work and other documents were excellent. Joshua always was available to talk about my questions or concerns. He was a great person to have at my side during a difficult time.

Keep looking

He handled my divorce after nearly 40 years. He talked me out of everything I wanted to do and was more concerned with himself than with me. Every time I would question him, he would suggest that perhaps I should find another attorney. Was always too busy, on vacation or wanted to write a letter... rather than do what needed to be done. Weeks after, I hired a female, and got the job done!

Highly recommended

Outstanding in guiding me through my recent divorce after 20 years of marriage. This was a high net worth asset divorce and as a Finance executive, I was a client who wanted to understand the ins and outs of divorce financial settlements. Joshua reviewed my spreadsheets with me, raised the right qu...estions, answered my questions in detail, and provided wise counsel. He is also an empathetic listener and a really decent guy. His strategic thinking and willingness to brainstorm with me guided us to an approach that was satisfactory to all parties, and the divorce was finalized quickly and with much less acrimony than my husband and I had feared would be the case. I would recommend Joshua unreservedly to future clients.

"Josh is fastidious and meticulous. There is no aspect of a case that he is not readily prepared for. As such, he brings the legal community up by leading by example. He has a way of negotiating that really hits the issue home. And when necessary, he is a tactful peacekeeper when tensions run high. I would have hired him for my firm in a heartbeat if I had the chance."
