Excellent advocate

Joshua Karsh is a brilliant, highly skilled and experienced litigator. Joshua's work ethic embodies professional civility, strong communication skills and class. He is a hardworking, focused attorney that was always available to advise me of the issues relating to my case. I was proud of the painsta...king work he did on my behalf. He represented me victoriously during all stages of the litigation - during the adminstrative hearing, on appeal to the circuit court, appellate court and evidently the state supreme court. His many briefs and oral arguments demonstrated his excellent legal ability and grit under fire. More importantly, he was an absolute pleasure to have as my attorney. Outstanding advocate!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
