This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend!!

My wife & I chose Josh Driskell for our estate planning documents (will, power of attorney & healthcare directives) based on his terrific reviews - which are all very well-deserved! Josh is very organized and knowledgable. He explained everything in great detail and answered all of our questions and ...concerns. And he did a great job preparing all of our documents! He’s also a really nice guy with a good sense of humor. We decided to go with his estate planning package, which we found to be very reasonable, compared to other attorneys in the Greater LA area. We highly recommend Josh!

SO helpful and easy to talk to

It was just a phone call, but Mr. Driskell was very friendly & approachable, and I didn't at all get the impression that he was just looking to get a client. If I find I need a tax lawyer, I'll be back!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
