Posted by Kaitlynn | May 14, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Honest and trustworthy!!

Josh helped me with both my divorce, and custody modification. He helped guide me, and fought for the best interest of my kids. During my modification, he stayed late with me and made sure every detail was notated. He’s not one to rush through a case just to finalize a piece of paper. Will always rec...ommend Josh!!

Posted by Meghan | January 09, 2013 | Child Custody

Genuine, helpful, and honest. Couldn't have asked for more.

I met with Josh and Claire a few months ago regarding child custody matters, and the experience was WONDERFUL. My situation is complicated, to say the least, and both Josh and Claire dedicated time and concern for me and my daughter. GENUINE concern. I felt very comfortable and at ease, and Josh ans...wered my questions thoroughly and honestly. He did much more for me than was required and certainly more than I expected. He is not just a good lawyer, but a good person, in my opinion. I would absolutely recommend him, and he will be the first person I call if I needed ANY kind of legal advice, and I know he would either help me or give me information on who could.

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.
