Beware You will waste time and money

My review about Joshua C. Sauer-Counsel, no. 35163 working as my PC/DM 2025, Josh has been biased against me in the fact that he refuses to honor his signed agreement and court orders where is states that co-parents communicate before engaging him. Josh has refused to answer questions in email and d...emands zoom calls, so he does not have exhibits in writing with emails. He has enabled one vindictive co-parent that hasn’t been a part of her child’s life in over two years and lives out of state. Josh allows the vindictive co-parent to engage him to waste thousands of dollars in money to absolutely accomplish nothing but create invoice fees for him to be paid on. All this for a minor less than a year away from being an adult. Be aware and do your research on Josh. I feel he would have more negative reviews but so many of us are afraid of retaliation, but I am in the process of having Josh removed as my PC/DM and have plenty of exhibits where is has giving false information to me and my co-parent and exhibits where he has held sperate meetings with my other co-parent, that have formed plans to keep him engaged as a PC where he is not needed, all to waste our money and for his personal gains.

JOSH IS A ROCKSTAR!!!!

If you are looking for a top notch lawyer! You have found him! Josh worked relentlessly on my case, and he had an uphill battle! My case was very serious with many odds against me, and several obstacles to tackle but Josh advocated for me and fought for me every step of the way! He was detailed and... thorough, and let nothing slide. HE DOES NOT GIVE UP! He is a hard working, AMAZING lawyer. I was so blessed to have him represent me. This was the second time he represented me in the same case. When I hired Josh, I hadn't talked to or visited my daughter in FOUR YEARS. In the end, I got joint custody, and will be seeing my daughter shortly! In a case, where everyone said I would get no where with!!! Josh saw otherwise, and sifted through every detail in the case, and its a long one. He spent hours talking to me, helping me through everything every step of the way!!! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE BEST LAWYERS AROUND! HIRE JOSH! I can't believe he has not been nominated for Super Lawyer because he is THE BEST OF THE BEST! My family and I will always be grateful for the work Josh has done for us. THANK YOU JOSH FOR FIGHTING FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT! And for fighting for my beloved daughter!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! GOOD JOB!!!

Very satisfied with his services

Joshua Sauer is a reliable lawyer. He understands the law and worked diligently on my case. I felt comfortable with decisions that were made, and Joshua always kept me updated on a regular basis. He responded promptly to my calls and emails; and he made me feel comfortable and secure during a child c...ustody process that is, in most cases, stressful. I would definitely recommend Joshua Sauer for all Family and child custody cases.
