About Josie
Biography
I always knew I wanted to go to law school with the idealistic view that I wanted to make a difference. After eight years of practice, I still take pride in making a difference one individual at a time. My practice started out focusing on criminal defense work because of the constitutional law implications and I believe that everyone deserves an advocate when their opponent is the heavily resourced government. Innocent people face criminal charges all of the time. I had the advantage of working in appeals and was able to brief matters to the appellate courts of Utah and participate in oral arguments. That experience better enabled me to write motions and argue motions based on constitutional violations when I started trial work. I have conducted hundreds of jury trials with a high level of success. I sincerely care about the outcome and fairness of each criminal proceeding for my clients. I have handled misdemeanor, felony, state and federal matters. My practice ranges from traffic cases to murder. I started handling more family law matters as I saw instances of injustice and found I had the same passion for those clients who needed an advocate in protective order hearings, divorce, custody, modifications, termination of parental rights and adoptions. I am a lawyer capable of fighting in and out of the courtroom, both on paper and in front of the judge. I have the pleasure of working with two exceptional lawyers with whom I graduated law school. We love our work and our clients and we take pride in advocating and making a difference in our client's lives.

Up and vanished.
I paid her retainer fee, which wasn’t cheap. Never saw or heard from her again. She pawned me off at the last minute to one of her trainees, who knew nothing about my case on my court date. Then, when the sentencing day came, nobody showed up. I ended up using a public defender after all was said and...

You have found her
Josie Brumfield is a knight in shining armor, though not the typical kind. Did you know that if a prosecutor breaks the law... commits "prosecutorial misconduct," that they expect to get away with it? Any lawyer who calls them out will have goodies withheld from them! They won't get good deals, their...

Family Law - Child Custody
We needed to choose a new lawyer and decided to get someone good and would fight, after some research we selected Josie. She was what we wanted, and the result exceeded our hopes. Her consistent drive was a large part of that.
