Highly Recommend.!!

My Search For A Criminal Defense Attorney Began A Year &. A Half Ago. I Literally Googled “Best Criminal Defense Lawyer In Kansas City, MO” &. Solomon &. Peter Was The Top Choice In My Search. Upon Meeting With Josh, He Was THE ONLY Person Out Of The Few Other Lawyers I Had Spoken To Prior, That Actu...ally Made Me Comfortable &. That I Felt Like Took Everything I Said Serious &. Actually Showed That This Case Mattered To Him As Much As It Did Me. I Felt Nothing Short Of Confident In Him &. His Partner To Get Us The BEST Result Possible Given Our Circumstances, &. He Did Just That &. More.! I Greatly Appreciate The Services Provided To My Husband &. Myself &. Would Without A Doubt Recommend Their Services To Any &. Everyone.!!!

Highly Recommend Using Josh!!

I very highly recommend Solomon & Peter LLP. Josh and I grew up in the same small town where we all knew each other; so I already knew his character and that’s why I used him. However; I do have to admit that I was very embarrassed and ashamed for the mistakes I had made in the past which forced me t...o Josh, but he didn’t show any judgment and clearly was the best man for the job. He handled everything very professionally, quickly, and was able to get my case dismissed without me having to even leave my home! I just want to say, “Thank you so much Josh. You are a blessing.” Use these guys, for sure!

Thank you, Mark. I am very glad that I was able to help you and make things as easy as possible for you. A dismissal is obviously a great result, and I am proud of the work that I have done, but you should be commended for the great things you have done. It made my job much easier. Keep it up, and take care!

Absolutely amazing lawyer!

I contacted Josh shortly after I had been charged, he immediately made an appointment for us to meet and get a consultation. After reviewing my case, he went unbelievably above and beyond to make sure I got the best sentence possible. My case took awhile due to some special circumstances, and he saw ...me through each and every obstacle with ease, and was always amazing at reassuring me the outcome was going to be what I wanted, and then some. I would highly recommend him for any of your legal troubles! You will not be disappointed!

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.
