Joshua James Price's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Josh is a great DUI defender. I have recommended my own clients to him when they are facing serious felony injury cases and he has always done a great job. I have observed Josh in trial, and he is an excellent trial attorney!"
"Attorney Joshua Price is a fantastic attorney. He knows criminal law and DUI cases inside out, and always gets his clients the best possible result. He has mastered the courtroom. In addition to being a great advocate in court, he is a caring and compassionate counselor for his clients. Anyone facing criminal law charges in San Diego should call Attorney Price."
"I endorse this lawyer. Joshua Price is an excellent attorney and litigator. He works hard and will not give up or give in until he has achieved the outcome he thinks is the best possible result for his client. His legal knowledge is second to none. Another great attribute of Joshua is the way he reaches out to assist less experienced attorneys in a way that shows he really cares about their success. I heartily endorse Joshua Price, a great lawyer."
"Do you need a driven lawyer to tackle a difficult case? Do you want your defense attorney to overcome challenges and find a way to prevail? Look no more. The battlefield widens when Josh Price tackles your case. Relentless representation that you deserve. A true warrior you will appreciate. San Diego is blessed that Mr. Price chose to put his legal defense roots down in this fine county. Clients and the legal community benefit immensely. With great confidence, I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. Price for a plethora of well-founded reasons for which there is insufficient character space here to expound."
"Highly skilled and tenacious. Joshua fights for his clients like few others do. He is an experienced trial advocate and sharp negotiator I have witnessed Joshua's work and put him in the upper echelon of attorneys in Southern California. I strongly endorse Joshua Price."
"I endorse this lawyer. He has an exceptional grasp of the law and has demonstrated superb skills of a litigator. You can't go wrong with Josh fighting for you on your side."
"I met Joshua Price at a DUI defense seminar a few years ago. He believes in staying current with the law and the science behind drunk driving cases so he can be an effective advocate for his clients. I definitely endorse him."
"I strongly endorse Mr. Price. He is exceptionally skilled and experienced in the area of DUI defense, with excellent client reviews and outstanding results. From his experience as an alternate defender to his work as private defense counsel, he is devoted to defending his individual clients and protecting their Constitutional rights. He is your best choice for expert courtroom advocacy and getting the results you want in your case. I am a fellow DUI defense attorney and would refer clients, friends, or loved ones to Mr. Price with full confidence that they would receive the best care and the best results. Mr. Price is my "go to" referral for an exceptional DUI defense attorney in the San Diego area."
"Josh Price is a phenomenal DUI attorney with an unparalleled understanding of the science and law behind the charge. He will go great lengths to ensure his clients get the very best results."
"Joshua Price is an outstanding and brilliant criminal defense attorney. He wholeheartedly fights for his clients' rights and will not fold to the pressures of the prosecutor. He handles his cases masterfully and finds issues that most attorneys do not."
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. A brilliant, trustworthy and highly respected attorney in the legal community."
"Mr. Price is a colleague. I have seen him in court during motion hearings as well as trials. I have worked on trials with him. There is no attorney in San Diego I hold in higher regard. He is a tireless advocate for his clients. He is willing to withstand the pressures of the prosecuting offices and judges to do what is best for his clients. He is a true litigator. He doesn't just talk the talk. For a prospective client looking for representation, you need to know whether your attorney has actually gone to trial on a DUI case. More importantly, has that attorney ever actually won a DUI trial. Not just winning on a single charge, but an actual "not guilty" on all charges. Mr. Price has. He is an attorney that gives clients their best chance of positive outcome for their case. I heartily endorse this attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer lawyer because he is in the small percentage of attorneys who stays current with the law, and blood testing as well as breath testing. His continuing education allows him to have the edge up on the prosecution who regularly presents evidence that is flawed. Joshua knows how to find the errors, and he is not afraid to take a case to trial; not every lawyer will do that. In fact, many lawyers are afraid of trials because they don't understand the science, but Joshua does. If you need a lawyer for a DUI, don't go looking any further; hire Joshua. As the current President of the California DUI Lawyers Association, Donald Drewry,I know all of the great DUI lawyers in California, and Joshua Price is one of them. There really aren't that many, so hire him if you need a DUI attorney."
"knowledgeable and skilled attorney, stays sharp on the law"
"Josh has enough enthusiasm regarding the defense of his clients that he should have some to spare! He is a zealous advocate of his clients' rights, treat them with respect, and gives them the best criminal defense possible. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer.This lawyer has an expertise in DUI defense. By attending DUI seminars throughout the year to keep up on the latest in the law, field sobriety testing, blood testing, and breath testing, this attorney is an asset to the clients. This lawyer is a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association. I endorse this lawyer."
"Our QC and Safety Plans, of cource we only extract the applicable parts or summaries and we do not include in our proposals the entire plan, unless they ask for it specifically."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
