Great Attorney

I retained Mr. Ritz to help me with a tenant/landlord problem. I found him to be thorough, smart, caring and confident, all great qualities in a lawyer. He settled my dispute and got me desired results, I couldn't be happier and would recommend him to anyone who needs a trusted lawyer.

Wrongful Termination Client

The situation was very new to me and Josh Ritz kept me very informed and was an extremely aggressive advocate from beginning to the end. Josh was very responsive to my calls and emails while always being very patient and caring. He is an outstanding lawyer that I would readily recommend to all my f...riends and colleagues.

Excellent Attorney

I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case. Josh and his firm are most skillful and caring, knowledgeable, efficient and assertive. My emails and phone calls were promptly answered, consistently. My questions and concerns were addressed with care, keeping me informed and up to date on... specifics. Josh is an excellent listener, communicator, and advocate. I highly recommend Josh Ritz.

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.
