What A Great Lawyer

Josh is a great lawyer! From day one, he was very attentive and focused on helping me get my situation taken care of. He is very focused on helping his client achieve the best outcome! He has helped me so much when it comes to me getting in the diversion program and knowing what steps to take next. ...I would highly recommend Mr. Zarse!

Hire Josh Today!

I hired Josh to fight having a PFA placed on me as a result of a false accusation. From start to finish Josh had been in contact with me and talked me through the process. Anytime I had a question (I always had questions) he was very quick to let me know when he could get back to me and always provid...ed me with detailed information. I was never left blinded by what step in the process we were on. He did an amazing job talking with the other party and working out an agreement with the other party before even going to trial. End result is no PFA, a clean record, and one amazing lawyer that I will be hiring again if I need one. I will be recommending Josh to my friends, family, and co workers and telling them about the great experience I had with him.

Great experience

Joshua was professional and handled everything I needed. He answered all the questions I had and was knowledgeable. I felt much more comfortable navigating the legal processes thanks to his help.

Professional and knowledgeable

Josh is extremely professional and has in-depth knowledge. He always keeps clients interests on top and works out best possible way to come out of any worst situation. If you ever messed up with criminal law, I would suggest to hire Gigstad law firm.

Saved my career

Josh has been fighting for me since April and he just achieved a dismissal on Friday. Ellis county wanted to charge me with leaving the scene of an accident. I drive semi truck and had a malfunction with my trailer and didn't even know that an accident occurred. He stayed persistent through the prose...cutor's office ignoring his requests. He personally saved my career and livelihood.
