My company was involved in a contract dispute. A vendor was attempting to collect for a service that was sold based on false performance claims. Being a more experienced attorney, Josh was able to capitalize on a number of technical errors by the opposing counsel. One such error the counselor made was with respect to introducing a witness, effectively resulting in his dismissal. He also identified--and subsequently had thrown out by the judge--provisions in the contract which proved unenforceable in Missouri, effectively eroding their case and resulting in the case's dismissal. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
Exceptional and Practical Attorney Focused on the Outcome
I have sought Josh’s counsel on a number of items over the past 10 years. They have included employment matters, contracts, and business combinations to name a few. Without exception, I have found Josh Avigad to be not only extremely knowledgeable, but particularly practical when it comes to the application of the law. Avigad seeks to find ways to mitigate risk and resolve issues so that the wheels of business can keep turning. He will simplify your legal alternatives with an eye toward the achieving the desired end result as expeditiously as possible.

Excellent local counsel
My client was sued in southern Illinois and I retained Josh as local counsel. Josh did a great job of helping us navigate through local procedures and customs. He was very knowledgeable about the law and court practices, and was invaluable to have "on the ground" in St. Louis.
