Braddock Law is the Best of the Best!
I have worked in the legal field myself for 30 years, but the time came when I needed some legal help myself and Josh Braddock was referred to me by another legal professional. Josh and his team, specifically Daniel Turek, were immediately responsive and obtained the outcome I was looking for. I cannot thank Braddock Law enough for their professionalism and empathy.

Exceptional representation with integrity and authenticity
Josh is top notch and I would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance in attaining justice. From the first phone call with Josh, I immediately felt at ease, and more importantly, that I had connected with "one of the good ones". Josh listened intently as I shared with him my reasons for reaching out, and possibility attaining his services. He let me speak freely and was non judgmental, did not interrupt, and had the empathetic ear and human compassion I needed while going through a difficult situation. After hearing my story, Josh provided both empathy for what I had gone through, and provided honest feedback regarding my situation. He was forthright regarding the road ahead and the time it would take to reach a decision regarding my case, as well as what the next steps would look like if we proceeded with his representation. After meeting in person I was confident Josh would represent me in the best way possible. I honestly feel Josh cares for his clients and if he felt I didn't have a case, would have advised me so. Josh was communicative throughout the process and kept me informed at each step along the way. If I had a question, concern or needed additional clarification, he was a phone call or an email away. He responded in a timely manner and provided clear information. A decision was agreed upon in my case and I am so grateful to have had Josh representing me. I am hopeful not to need his services again but I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing his assistance and expertise. He is honest, genuine, sincere, confident, compassionate, and operates with integrity and authenticity. Thank you Josh!

Best lawyer you could ask for!
I was involved in an automobile accident and the last thing I wanted to deal with was the headache of handling the personal injury, hospital, and billing aspects (no pun intended). I was referred to Josh and his team and can honestly say they are the best team to work with. Not only were they caring, and professional, they really give you the assurance that everything will be ok. Going into handling hospital, ambulance, and follow up doctor bills completely blind, Josh and his team (specifically Alicia) were there to help with all follow up billing issues and ask the questions I didn’t know needed to be asked. They really handle the situation and put you at ease. I couldn’t be happier with their help, their services, and their compassion. If you ever have a personal injury situation arise, Josh Braddock and his team are your answer! Thanks again for everything! Mike

Joshua and his team are the best
Joshua and his team are the best. Joshua helped me and stood beside me when I had an accident a while ago. I was forced to stay at home without work for 3 months. At the same time, my wife was not working. She was pregnant with my second child and I did not have health insurance for treatment. The expenses of the treatments and family expenses accumulated on me like a mountain. So I went to several lawyers who refused to adopt my case because there was a chance of it losing. And then god sent me to joshua who told me don’t worry, I'll be by your side for the very last moment to help you. I still remember joshua telling me whenever we meet (we’re still fighting) until we win the case Thank you joshua, you’re the best god bless you.

I’m speechless josh thank you for everything.
2 years ago my wife and I woke up early morning to celebrate my daughters 7th birthday. It was a day that was supposed to be filled with joy. I remember my wife finished setting the last touches around the house and she looked at me and said goodbye. My wife Liz ran every morning. This was her routine. Almost an hour had passed when she was struck by a car the completely neglected a stop sign. It was the worst feeling in the world to get a phone call from my neighbors telling me my wife was struck by a car. I remember calling Josh Braddock And explaining to him our situation. We found out that the person driving the vehicle was uninsured and he was not being very responsive. most lawyers would tell their clients to go file a small claims, but Josh was different. The harder the situation got the more josh pushed to get results. Josh is honest understanding he was very empathetic. I knew that this man had all the intentions of the world to do the best he could to fight for our case. I can only speak good things of this law firm. Thank you so much Josh Braddock for making a seemingly impossible situation become a reality.

Josh is a great lawyer. My son suffered traumatic brain injury, bleeding on the brain & 2 skull fractures. After hiring Josh, we knew we were in good hands. He pursued all avenues to get a good settlement. And he did! My son received twice what I expected. One more note about Josh & his family - they took their Thanksgiving holiday to travel to Paradise CA to help the Campfire victims. Josh, his family & his staff are professional, committed & fine people. You would do well to have him represent you.

Braddock Law
BRADDOCK LAW FIGHTS FOR YOU!! My father was badly injured when he was hit by car back in January. The police report put him at fault for the accident, but we knew that just could not be true based on what we knew of the situation. I knew our family needed an attorney. I began visiting different law firms, and was repeatedly given the same run around. Finally, I reached out to a dear friend who I knew I could trust for guidance. He highly recommended Josh Braddock at Braddock Law APC. While my father was still in the hospital, I went and met with Josh. From the moment I met him, Josh made me feel like family. I told Josh about our situation, and he did not hesitate for a second. He told me he would do everything in his power to fight for my father. And true to his word, that is exactly what he did. As soon as I left the office, Josh and his team were up and running on the case. Later that same day, Josh called me to provide updates from their own investigation. Ultimately, after months of accident scene reconstruction, witness interviews and investigation, and other research Josh Braddock and his legal team destroyed the credibility of the at-fault driver, as well as the police report. Josh Braddock got my father a huge award from the insurance company that helped us pay for his medical expenses and other treatment. And on top of that, when other attorneys would have left the case, Josh stayed on to help us try and reduce some of the bills we were receiving from collectors. This helped us save money that we were then able to put towards future treatment. I just cannot say it enough – thank you to Josh and his team! You were there for our family when we needed you!!

Josh Braddock Review
I was in a severe car accident and while I was recovering all my bills and paperwork from the accident was stacking up. I tried to handle everything myself but I was having to deal with insurance companies, lean companies and the hospital all while trying not to cause too many problems with the friend who was responsible for the accident. It became way too stressful so I sought out help and was recommended to Josh. I immediately felt so relieved after my initial meeting with Josh because he was incredibly personable, compassionate and empathetic. When telling him my story and showing him the enormous stack of paperwork that has stacked up over almost two years he assured me that he was going to take care of everything, take my best interest to heart and open a line of communication so that I would know what was happening throughout the process. This particular accident was a little bit of a sensitive situation and it could not have been handled with more grace, respect and empathy. Im sure there are a lot of knowledgeable lawyers but what really sets Josh apart from the rest is how sincere and genuine he is. He runs his practice as a family practice and made sure that I was well informed about my case, my needs were being met and I was well taken care of. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience and I am so, so grateful for Josh!

Employment Defense (Gender Discrimination)
Attorney Braddock defended my co-workers and I in a Gender Discrimination case against our former employer. Mr. Braddock graciously provided his knowledge and support even before I decided to go forward with this action and made it crystal clear that (due to the sensitive nature of the predicament I was in) there was no pressure for me to take any legal action against my former employer unless I felt entirely at ease with it. He was excruciatingly thorough and diligent about getting the facts right while managing our emotions. His approach throughout the entire six months we worked together was unfailingly patient, kind, compassionate and human. My experience as his client left me feeling empowered and hopeful not just because of the way he treated us, but also because of the extremely positive outcome of the case, which was a large settlement amount. I would highly recommend him. He is not only a highly gifted attorney, he is also a great person with an abundance of integrity.

Highly Recommend Josh Braddock
Josh is the most incredible Attorney and nicest person to work with! He truly went above and beyond in the work he did for me and I felt cared for the entire time. He genuinely cared about me and my well-being and it was not just another case to him. The insurance co had denied my case since there was little damage to the car. I was pregnant at the time and did suffer injury. Josh made the insurance company see the error in their decision and won the case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a fantastic PI attorney because not only is he an excellent attorney, he truly cares about you!

Imeccable Legal Experiance
My name is Roddy, Thank you Joshua Braddock for impeccable legal experience. I'm a victim of a double dog attack while at work. I was injured pretty bad, although workman's comp took care of the work side of things. I was still in a state of disarray, pain, and anger. After several months in pain, I started to feel powerless an thought someone other than myself needed to take responsibility. I started doing research online and came across Joshua Cole Braddock. I called, scheduled, and met with Joshua Braddock. In the course of the consultation Joshua was very attentive to my needs, assertive, professional, compassionate and genuinely concerned for my well being. I was comfortable and confident to make one of the best decisions I ever made and hired Joshua Braddock to represent me in civil court. Joshua proceeded to exercise my civil rights and kept me updated every step of the way. I was very happy with successful results you exceeded my expectations I couldn't thank you more. Wish you and family a very Happy New Year.

Excellent attorney
Josh is not only a skilled and intelligent attorney, but he is a friendly and compassionate professional who is truly there for you in your time of need. Throughout my case, Josh made sure to check up on me frequently and would always be there to answer my questions when I would call him, whether or not it was during his regular working hours. He made sure I understood every step of the process and never moved along in the process without my full permission and understanding. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Fantastic law group
The Braddock Law Group came strongly recommended to us from a close friend who practices law in San Diego. We couldn't be happier. Josh has been efficient, thorough, and direct in all matters. He is strategic and assertive in court. He checks in frequently and always takes the time to answer questions and explain the process. Most importantly to me, Josh is compassionate; I recommend The Braddock Law Group to anyone in need of some legal peace of mind.

Josh does terrific work.
Josh has represented me in a federal matter that was complex in nature. There were times when we had spent elongated hours together in preparation for trial, and to ensure all discovery was reviewed and used accordingly. At no time did he change his tone or demeanor, no matter how long it took, and always remained calm, even when it was impossible for me to do so. His level of confidence in the case never swayed, and acted and reacted accordingly. He may be newer to law than some other attorneys, but his character and determination are effective where necessary.

Not just a lawyer, but my friend.
Josh Braddock is my attorney and he represented my through a trial that was the worst time of my life. He would take his weekends and travel 3 hours each way just to see me, so that I knew I had a friend. Holidays, weekends, mornings, noon or night Josh is always there. Hire him, I would again in a second. Josh is the man, a great attorney and compassionate friend. Sincerely, Tony M

Life saver
Mr. Braddock is a life saver, figurative and literally. In early March of this year, he and his colleagues took a very daunting federal case,my case, with high stakes on the line for me. Basically it was a case where i had everything ridding on it. As soon as I met Mr. Braddock he had a calm about him which put me at ease. During the trial he was very informative and responsive to my questions and anticipated a lot of my concerns upfront. Watching him and his partner work during the trial made me see what true litigators were suppose to look like. I could go on and ramble about how impressed i was about there prep, knowledge,pre- trial attention to detail and the wheeling of charisma mixed with up to date knowledge of case law. This simply wouldn't be enough, the fact of the matter is that through this ordeal he made feel like a person and that i deserved victory in my case, that meant the world. Needless to say we were victorious in this case, and full restitution of my life has been returned to me, Thanks to these gentlemen. Thanks again Josh
