Like family

I hired Josh even though I live out of state as he was the only attorney who I felt actually listened to my situation and showed genuine compassion. As my as has case progressed, Josh showed me that not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also very confident in his abilities and rightfully so. Just ...when I didn't think that he could do anything more as an attorney he proved me wrong! He genuinely took the time to make sure that I was able to feel independent and had the opportunity to speak for myself. I am severely hard of hearing and cannot use a telephone without a translator(I don't use TDD /TTY). Josh knew and didn't rush me or make me pay double for his time. My case is still ongoing and I couldn't have a finer young man beside me to represent my interests while remembering what's at stake. As a family man himself, he takes that feeling of being a parent with him when he is helping with custody issues. If you want a GREAT attorney, you have hit the jackpot with him!

Nervous at first

I spent a lot of time looking at reviews for lawyers for my situation, and for the most part each person I looked at had fairly good reviews. I was nervous picking someone but I ended up meeting with Josh, and was instantly confident in my decision of meeting with him; Josh is kind and passionate abo...ut helping his clients. Upon meeting him I felt comforted on his confidence in helping me and my case. In the experience I've had with working with him I have not had any issues getting in touch with him or his assistant, I have felt comforted through each step of the process and he has kindly answered all the questions I've had. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a family law lawyer!

Questions

Josh helped me with defining some of the meanings in our HOA governing documents. He gave me a very professional letter quoting state and case law that cleared up a lot of misconceptions about our governing documents.
