Excellent attorney with a great team

I am presently being represented by Mr. Ritz for working in a hostile working environment. He and his team, through their knowledge and expertise in the law, have made me feel secure as we work through this process. I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal counsel to speak with Mr. Ritz

The attorney to TRUST

T. Joshua Ritz and his staff are excellent! My case was settled within lightening speed. I contacted the offices of Mr. Ritz in early December 2013 and my case settled in February 2014. His staff kept me informed on my case and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I would recommend them t...o anyone going through legal issues. Thanks for your help Joshua. I really appreciate it. It's hard to come by people like you. Sometimes there are obstacles in life that are hard to get through and your unsure how your going to get through them. Joshua got me through them, and he can HELP you too. Turned my life around. Thank you

joshua ritz helped me get my justice. and he did a great job and faster than i thought it would take!

Josh soars in every aspect a Lawyer should, and flys with wings of dedication.

Josh represented me for a very serious discrimination matter. When I conveyed to him what happened he immediately laid out his plan of legal action. He was incredibly consistent in how he presented himself on the first day to the end; a talented, knowledgeable, aggressive and understanding lawyer. A...ll these attributes seemed to just grow during the time I retained him. Within seconds of meeting Mr. Ritz, this reassuring feeling of " this is going to be my lawyer " was felt, and by the time it all ended, those thoughts evolved to " this is one the finest human beings and attorneys I ever met ". He updated me when an update happened, he answered my questions to their fullest extent, and he did ever single thing he said he was going to do, accompanied with serious and I mean serious dedication and effort. He kept me informed, and guided me though the whole process. Mr. Ritz is so incredibly experienced that it was conveyed in every conversation. I shook his hand with a thank you at the end, but it was a thank you I will always and forever extend to him. The results and Josh are both well appreciated!

Wrongfully Terminated Employee

Josh Ritz and Associates is the type of legal firm that is a wronged employees dream. I had all but given up in my search for a knowledgeable and caring legal expert when Josh Ritz and Associates responded to my wrongful termination email. After meeting with "Josh" and his paralegal "Christopher" ...I knew I had found my legal advocate. They listened and took me seriously and the advice they gave was always in my best interest. We worked as a Team and the legal issue was resolved to my full satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Josh Ritz to a friend, in fact, I already have!

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.
