HAPPY & VICTORIOUS CLIENT

Mr. Verde’s expertise in employment law was a significant contributing factor in the outcome of my wrongful termination case. He was very focused in the preparation stages and asked in-depth questions, many that I (and evidently opposing counsel) had not considered/anticipated. Throughout the entir...e process he kept me informed of the each step and I was treated with complete respect. If required, I would hire Mr. Verde again and I would definitely recommend him to my best friends, and I recommend him to you, too.

The only lawyer you will find in heaven

Josh is a no BS, no fluff straight shooter. He won't take you out for a spin and will get you results. Skip the long line of ambulance chasers and snake oil sellers. THIS IS YOUR GO TO GUY. PERIOD! Texas labor laws are nausiating but Josh is the peptobismol the doctor prescribed.

Awesome Employment Lawyer

I hired Josh after a past employer sued myself and a former co-worker. I was worried and irritated. When I contacted his office, he not only personally called me back but also eased my mind about my case. He is very knowledgeable in his areas of expertise and understands best practices. He pr...ovides frequent updates and is easy to talk to. I’m very happy to have hired Josh, as he has been able to handle my case very well. He is an outstanding lawyer that I recommend highly to anyone needing help with any type of employment issue.

Great Trustworthy Lawyer!

We needed a lawyer that specializes in employment law, which Joshua is!!! After contacting several lawyers, he was the best! He was extremely helpful in answering all our questions and came across as very trustworthy. This differs from my previous experience with lawyers, who often just say what yo...u want to hear. I appreciated that told us the facts and what can be done with realistic expectations.. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family and use him for any future legal issues.

Employment Separation Agreement

After more than 20 years of service, my employer presented me with a separation agreement. I contacted Josh to review the agreement and to make sure that I had a clear understanding of the document that I was being asked to sign. Josh responded very quickly, which was extremely important due to the... time sensitive nature of my agreement. After reviewing the document, he answered all of my questions as well as making sure to point out potential areas for concern. I was very satisfied with the service I received and will definitely turn to Josh again if ever needed.

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.
