"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Josh since 1987 and have worked with him on cases, referred cases to him and formed a firm with him. He is the best at what he does, medical malpractice, personal Injury, product liability and other types of civil litigation. I have trusted Josh to handle my son's personal Injury case and believe he is one of the best at what he does. If you need a great attorney to represent your interests when injured call Josh first."
"I endorse this lawyer. Before you judge a man you don't know, it's good to see what his former clients have to say about him and what other attorneys who do know him say about him. Then read his published answers to questions at Avvo.com. Then you'll realize that Josh knows the law and cares about making sure he does the best job possible for his clients. And when you have a legal problem, what you want is a lawyer who knows the law and who will fight his heart out for you. That's why I gladly endorse Josh Tolin to you."

"Josh is a former Respiratory Therapist. He has a tremendous command of medicine. He deals with his adversaries in a way that earns him respect and quite frankly could serve as an example to our broken Congress. I endorse this lawyer."
