Great firm

I Highly recommend this firm, especially if everyone there works as hard as Josh Zarse. I recently got a DUI and got the best possible outcome there was for my situation and that is thanks to Josh's hard work and tenacity with working my case. Again, I highly recommend this firm and absolutely recom...mend having Josh in your corner.

DUI

I would highly recommend Joshua, we retained him for my son’s DUI, he was very thorough in explaining everything that was involved with the case. He also was quick to respond to phone calls and emails. We had never been through anything like this and he was very caring through the whole process. Five... stars for Joshua!

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.
