Joshua F Hamilton's Lawyer Endorsements

Josh is intelligent, resourceful and committed to protecting his clients' rights. He is one of the best young lawyers in Southern Arizona and has a brilliant career before him."

"I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Josh Hamilton and his work. Josh Hamilton is one of the outstanding young attorneys in the Arizona criminal defense community. One of the most difficult things for younger criminal defense attorneys to learn is how to be aggressive in attacking cases while not necessarily being aggressive in attacking opposing counsel. It is a skill that is essential for a criminal defense attorney and usually takes years to develop. Josh intuitively has that skill. Immediately upon taking on a case, Josh looks for everything that he can possibly find to help his client. He meticulously reviews the police reports to see what is missing or what can be helpful. He pursues every lead. At the same time, he always conducts himself professionally and earns the respect of prosecutors and judges. There is just no question that Josh is one of the young leading lights in the criminal defense community."
