Highly Recommended

Josh Sternberg was an absolute pleasure to work with. Dealing with lawyers can be an overwhelming task. Josh made things simple, to the point and extremely professional. That and his communication couldn't have been faster as he knew we were in a time crunch and helped work around my schedule. I woul...dn't hesitate to use him again and will continue to recommend to colleagues and friends for the future.

Josh and staff are magicians

If you are unfortunate enough to be behind on payments and have your lender calling every day Josh and staff are like a hand coming down from the sky and lifting you back up. I went from barely able to even dial my lender my fingers were trembling so much. I had two days before auction when I met J...osh - he asked a few questions including the name of the lenders relationship manger in India (he knows them all personally). The very next day the lender called to inform the auction was on hold - that's a day away from sale date. The next week a package arrived with a refi from 6.25% down to 3.25%. This is no joke. He even held my check for retainer until funds available. All the while other attorneys were calling with one dimensional solutions either they do bks or sue the lender. Josh is a strategic guy, calm and collected and seems almost imaginary he's that good. A young pleasant, intelligent great guy who deserves a heck of a lot more than the small retainer. If you are stressed to the point of total despair he's your man. Thanks also to Ali and staff. Amazing !

Thank you Joshua Sternberg for our fresh start!

Joshua Sternberg is the best choice. My husband and I took his reviews very serious, not having a referral, this is how we found him. Dealing with something such as bankruptcy was quite overwhelming. Every email and phone call of my concerns were answered in a timely fashion, nothing was left unnotic...ed or attended to. He is very knowledgable which gave us confidence through every step of the process. I highly recommend Joshua Sternberg. Thank you for our fresh start!

Bankruptcy and Real Estate Attorney

I was referred to Joshua Sternberg by a friend. I am a single mom and I had a house that was going into default and a large file of bills that needed to be paid. I didnt know anything about the market or selling a house. I called Josh and set up an appointment. He came to the house and as soon as... he walked in I knew he was the man to help me. He listened to me, explained the process in simple terms, asked questions and gave me his cellphone # before I even gave him a dime. Josh is vibrant and professional. Even more than that, it is obvious that he takes pride in his work and authentically cares about the people he is helping. I am positive that I was high maintenance, but he answered every call and email in a timely fashion and advised me well. I knew I was in good hands with him. He sold my house with a profit to me as well as walking me through my bankruptcy. I highly recommend Joshua Sternberg and feel lucky to have found him.

Homeowner Saved From Foreclosure!

A few months ago, I needed to retain an expert attorney to help with a foreclosure matter. After a long internet search, I came across Josh Sternberg. Josh is a straight forward kind of guy, when you are fighting to save your home, you are looking for an honest, reliable, understanding, trustworth...y person to explain to you all of your options. I met with Josh in his Beverly Hills office in late December of 2015. Josh, was brutally honest about my case, I was in foreclosure with a sale date looming, and this was not my first time in foreclosure. My lender Nationstar Mortgage was dead set on taking my home. Josh, explained to me in a calm, caring way all of our family’s options. He assured me he was an expert in securing loan modifications, bankruptcy, etc., something I have heard a lot over the course of the past few years dealing with the foreclosure of my home. I was moved to retain Josh, because he seemed to truly care about the disposition of me and my six children. I cannot really explain in words the comforting feeling I felt when Josh told me he would do everything in his power to save our home and secure a loan modification with Nationstar Mortgage. He was believable because he was not selling me a dream, instead Josh provided me with the answers to my prayers. I believe in the power of prayers. On March 30th, 2016 I received an email from Nationstar's attorney confirming I was approved for a trail loan modification with a guaranteed permanent loan modification starting August 1, 2016. Josh, was the only attorney who was honest enough to care about me and my family. Josh, saved our families home. I can now sleep at night knowing that my home will not be sold at a public auction. Thank you Josh for your true commitment to the homeowner. I would suggest to any one in a similar situation to first pray and rely on God to provide you with a great attorney who can and will help you through this bad situation. Josh, was one of many attorneys our family retained, all in all he was the only honest attorney we retained. God is good! Josh Sternberg has assured me he will stay the course with us until we have received our permanent loan modification in August.
