Great Lawyer and Staff

I came to Joshua Black's office because I believed I had been wrongfully terminated by my employer. Josh, Greg and Nancy made me feel very welcomed. They worked on my case for over 9 months until they finally reached a settlement for my case. They were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I wou...ld definately recommend this law office.

Great lawyer who cares about the client

I consulted Joshua on a separation of employment letter I received from my company. I set an initial consultation and he was very thorough and answered all my questions. Even though my consultaion was only for one hour, he stayed with me past it to make sure that all my questions were answered. Truly... knowledgeable and personable. I would use his services again if I ever needed to.

Satisfied Client

I had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Black for a legal matter with an employer. Mr. Black was very thoughtful, engaging, open, honest and well knowledge in his field. I am thankful to have had this office represent me with my case. The service I received was exceptional. Mr. Black offered his time off th...e clock to ensure I was comfortable with any updates. Thankyou Mr. Black for all of your hard work and dedication. I am so glad I choose you after interviewing several other attorneys! I would also like to thank Nancy! She was very pleasant to speak with and always had my best interest in mind. I thank her for going above and beyond prior to the Christmas holidays to make sure the necessary paperwork was in place. I wish nothing but success and longevity for this practice. I pray, I never need this type of service again and anyone else for that matter but unfortunately, we live in a world that people are still unjustly treated. If you are reading this and find yourself in a position that feels unfair and against the law I urge to give the Attorney Office of Joshua Black a call, he is one the best and honest around metro Phoenix. You will not regret it! Sincerely, A Vey Pleased and Happy Client! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

What an amazing team!!!

Words can not express how thankful I am that I hired Josh Black to deal with a workplace FLSA issue. Both Josh and his assistant, Meghann went above and beyond to ensure my case was well researched and involved me in every step of the way. They were very attentive and helped me to understand how th...ey were planning to tackle the issue at hand. They helped put me at ease and handled everything very professionally. I hope I never need an attorney to represent me again over a work place issue but if I did, I would go right back to Josh and Meghann!!!

Attorney with Honor

It is hard to find a attorney you can trust and that will believe in you. That was not the case with Mr. Joshua Black.The first attorney we had didn't really care about our case, he just brushed us off. After a few calls, Joshua Black was recommended to me by another attorney when I explained our un...ique situation. I was able to schedule a meeting with him the same week. Mr. Black looked at the case before we met and gave me straight forward information. My impression of Mr. Black was someone who cared strongly about those who were treated wrong. Mr. Black was very professional and calm. His calmness helped me feel at ease during the whole case process. He remained professional and calm even against the defendant's outbursts. He was very knowledgeable on my labor and employment situation. Mr. Black was right on point with the matters of timing, what could happen and how things could play out. He was even able to close the claim before it went to court. We really appreciate what he and his colleagues were able to accomplish! We couldn't have been happier about choosing Mr. Joshua Black to represent me.
