I am a Denver criminal defense attorney who handles matters throughout the Denver metropolitan area. I began my legal career in the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, NY, as a law clerk to a United States magistrate judge, a position that introduced me to a wide range of criminal and civil legal issues.
I then worked at a large law firm in Philadelphia, PA, where I defended Fortune 500 clients in numerous lawsuits in state and federal court, and where I also worked to found the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, a non-profit legal clinic devoted to overturning wrongful criminal convictions.
This latter experience, as well as my experience as a clerk in federal court, led me to open my own criminal defense firm. In addition to my private clients, I also handle criminal matters as court-appointed counsel for clients in various Colorado courts and jurisdictions.
Prior to attending law school, I was a print journalist, writing and researching articles for various national publications. Before that, and after graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder, I spent three years as a volunteer with the United States Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa.

The Law was on my side but the DA wasn't
I hired Mr Johnson to handle sealing my court record. Being out of state I didn't want to try and do this myself, boy was that a good decision! Although the law was on our side the Assitant DA was not and took a fairly easy situation and made it his life's mission not to seal my 1985 felony charge. ...

Made the process easy
Joshua was easy to work with. I couldn't easily come into the office to see him but he was able to help me take care of my issue via email and phone as much as possible. He got things done quickly and kept me informed every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone needing help.

He kept me informed in the days leading up to the court date and called me...

I hope you never need legal advice on a holiday weekend because it probably means that you, or someone near and dear, is in a bit of a jam, frightened, and in need of advice ASAP.. But if you're checking out Josh because, bless his soul, he's got weekend availability, believe me he is competent, thor...
