This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Lawyer!

Josh handled my divorce last year, and I couldn't have been in better hands. I ended up with a great settlement! I appreciate that he advised me on ways to save money with his fees -- limiting contact to only what was necessary, making copies & organizing discovery myself, etc. While I hope I don'...t ever need a divorce attorney again, I would recommend him to anyone.

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.
