A Difficult Time Made Better Through Excellent Service

I have worked with Josh Northam and his assistant, Rosa twice. The first time was during my divorce. I was having a difficult time, and Josh was very sensitive to my need for compassion as well as my need to understand every step of the proceedings. There were times when I was trying to balance two j...obs, that I would forget to submit important paperwork. Rosa was always very curtious in her requests to me, and went the extra mile to ensure that I understood exactly what was happening at each step of the journey. I was very pleased with the outcome of the divorce proceedings as well as the amount of time both Josh and Rosa spent with me in person or by phone or email. The second time I worked with Josh was after the death of my grandmother. Negligence was suspected, and the family was understandably devastated. Josh was able to answer many questions and direct us to the right avenues to take the case farther without making this difficult time any more heartbreaking. I would use Josh for any legal matter I encounter. I am completely confident in his ability to do a great job and to protect my best interests. I appreciate that he and Rosa are always willing to educate me about areas of the law I don't understand. Most of all, I would work with him because he truly cares about his clients.

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.
