Top Notch- Highly Recommend

I can’t say enough about Josh Collum. I am so thankful to have him in my corner! He’s an incredible lawyer; He is sharp, focused, skilled in his craft, and fights for the very best outcome for his clients. I was involved in an accident that I didn’t cause and thought it was going to be easy, cut a...nd dry, and would not need legal representation. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and I (my insurance company) was being sued for a ridiculous amount of money. A short while after being notified of the lawsuit, my husband passed away suddenly. Needless to say, I was dealing with an enormous amount of stress and didn’t want to deal with the fallout of the lawsuit on top of what my family and I were already going through. I asked a trusted friend to send me to a top notch lawyer who would help me deal with my accident and ease the burden of my situation. Josh more than exceeded my expectations. He put together a comprehensive game plan, discussed it with me, kept me in the loop regularly and followed through to a tee. My case was successfully resolved without any undue stress on me. Aside from his brilliant “lawyering”, Josh is kind, compassionate and cares about his clients. Not only did I find an outstanding legal representative, but I found a true advocate and friend.

Highly Recommended!!

Throughout my hard journey of my accident, turning to Josh Collum was the best decision I made! He has made my case stress-free, the complicated process easy to understand and comfortable for me! Josh has always made time to speak with me and keep me in the loop of things and is very receptive to my ...input. During the process of my case, not once did I ever feel neglected! He assured me that I didn't have to worry about anything and that I will be taken care! Thanks to his amazing work, my case settled sooner then I thought. Josh is a great attorney to be represented by, he's someone who is knowledge and reliable! Without a doubt, I recommend Josh to anyone! He will take GREAT care of you!!!! Thank you Josh, for all the great work and effort you have put into my case, I appreciate everything you have done!!

Excellent representation

His attitude helped put me at ease, his expertise relaxed me in a very pressure packed situation. I was completely out of my element. Felt very intimidated. Once I met James it was a huge relief.

The better choice

Josh is a likable guy. My case caught me by surprise, Josh Collum stepped in and took care of the details. He is professional, uncomplicated, smart, and quick. If you want a smart professional choose Josh.

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.
