Choosing a lawyer is tough. You're basically taking a leap of faith, hoping they'll be able to help you. I learned this the hard way when I hired Taibi and Associates ( see my review for this firm on Yelp). I imagine that most attorneys bring out their "A" game at the initial consultation hoping that... you will go into contract with them. However, after signing the contract and paying the retainer things can change very rapidly. This is not the case with Joshua Price. What I really appreciated was his availability and guidance. He was always there to answer my questions and offer advice. He's more than just a lawyer; he's a coach, helping you every step of the way. Josh's expertise and experience were immediately evident. He understood the complexities of my case, which involved not only a DUI charge but also a collision with injuries. He came into the situation knowing exactly what I should do and when I should do it. He is experienced in knowing exactly what needs to be done to both satisfy the courts and get your life back in order. When you get a DUI, it is assumed that you are a raging alcoholic and it takes a toll on you mentally. Joshua passes no judgement and is an advocate of making sure that you are treated as a person and not just another statistic. If you're reading this, either you or someone you know is going through a very difficult time. Hang in there. Take some time and speak with Joshua Price, you will not be disappointed and your legal matters will be handled with professionalism and grace.

Due to the embarrassing circumstances, I was reluctant to publish anything having to do with this incident. Most of my friends and family aren't aware that this happened to me (until now, ;-/ ) because I've always been the "example" pillar of the community, professional, law abiding citizen, etc. On... the other hand, I'm human, and prone to making decisions that aren't always the best. I'm sharing this review for two reasons. 1. Josh and Amanda are worth their weight in gold. They were both attentive to my questions and understanding of my circumstances. 2. I hope to relay to whoever is reading this, that "yes, it can happen to anyone." I'd imagine, if you're reading this, then you're already in a position where you need Josh's help. Hopefully, you and everyone that was with you is okay. In regards to getting through the rest from here, Josh and Amanda are the right decision at this point. I've gone my whole life without issue or incident. I'm not a hard partier, I'm a family man, and always discourage others from "drinking and driving." I thought I knew where my "threshold" was. I'm a pretty good size guy at 6' and 220lbs. I can have a couple glasses of wine at dinner and not be "inebriated." WRONG. That's what happened. I was at a friend's house for a holiday and had champagne with dinner. No tequila shots. No pre-gaming. I drank water and had a hearty dinner. Don't count on any of that. I wasn't even swerving "all over the road" or obviously erratic. Ironically, I was most definitely driving while distracted with my phone and playing music, finding songs, etc. THAT was enough to move me enough within the lane to cause the CHP behind me to stop and ask questions. That's it. That's all it took for me to have a need to call Josh. Josh was recommended by a friend of a friend who knew him personally. Could I have gone through the process on my own? Probably. Would I have gotten the same results? Absolutely not. I had too many concerns that I wasn't going to risk any more on my own. I have a couple commercial licenses that were at risk. I couldn't afford to put my livelihood on the line because I felt "the system" was unfair and I could beat it with my super intelligence and ego. I had to make some tough decisions. Attorneys are not inexpensive. I had to ask if I could afford it. Ultimately, the answer was always, "I can't afford to NOT hire Josh." You're in a bind. It's going to be expensive. Expect it. But, DON'T fool yourself into thinking you're going to save money by going it alone. I bit the bullet and sent Amanda and Josh everything they asked for. Then sat down with him so he could explain what the most reasonable outcome I could hope for. He talked about best case scenario, worst case scenario, probable scenario, and made no promises to any of them. That needs to be key to your understanding when you hire ANYONE though. Every circumstance is different. Yours is different than mine. Given my circumstances, I can attest that Josh was able to achieve the best possible outcome to save all of my licenses. Could we have contested the case and gone to trial? Sure. We might have even gotten a better outcome. Josh would have gone to bat and I have every confidence he would have prevailed. But, ultimately, Josh secured a great outcome without the additional delay and expense, and risk. I'm confident in that. I'm also confident that I'm making the right decision to recommend him to you, despite my public embarrassment. Best of luck to you! Stay safe.

2023 was the year I landed my dream job. That all came crashing down when I left a bar Friday night. I met with family for dinner and had a few drinks to congratulate me on a new job. I was less than a mile from my home when CHP pulled me over for stopping a couple of feet past the limit line at a st...op sign. I admitted to having "a drink" and blew a 0.09 BAC. I was placed in handcuffs and arrested for a DUI. As a brand new firefighter/paramedic, I was devasted. I did extensive research on hiring the best attorney in San Diego. My uncle, a retired Lawyer, recommended a few but I never found someone who understood what was at stake. It wasn't until I stumbled upon Josh. After speaking with him on the phone for half an hour I knew he was my guy. He didn't BS me or try to sugarcoat unrealistic expectations. Every attorney I spoke with before got my hopes up which raised red flags. Josh was to the point and never gave false promises, but the promise he did make was he would go to bat for me, and he did. His communication was prompt and he explained things in a way I could understand. I don't speak Lawyer but I was never left scratching my head. Additionally, his paralegal, Amanda, is amazing. Like any law office you will be communicating a lot with the paralegal and Amanda is just top notch. After ten months, the court reduced the DUI to a dry/reckless. Because of Josh and his team, I have a second shot of doing the thing I love.

Incredible work done by Joshua and his staff. A DUI is a very serious experience and his office understands that as they take you through every step of the way. I blew a .14 and Mr. Price was miraculously able to negotiate that down to a WET reckless!!!! Joshua was also able to win my hearing with th...e DMV so my license did not get suspended. I never once had to appear for court. Getting an attorney can certainly be expensive but it is well worth it. If you care about you future and your career it is incredibly important that you get a situation like this handled by a professional that knows what they are doing at every step of the way. A DUI can take quite the toll on your life and adds tons of stress however life demands that you move on and keep up with your daily obligations. When your case is in the hands of a professional it makes it easier to move in with your day to day life while Mr. Price is taking care of everything. Do not hesitate to call Joshua right away, he gets things done!!!

The most stress relieving thing I ever did was hire Joshua Price after I got pulled over for a DUI. Not knowing much about the process of what happens after getting a DUI, he was able to guide me through everything and make it seem like a breeze. Josh was super accessible, from taking phone calls out... of office hours to emails throughout the day, I knew that he truly cared about my case. I was charged for a first offense DUI and pulled over for drifting out of my lane, at the scene I blew a .09% and at the station I blew a .11%. Josh told me he had high hopes in winning the DMV hearing and he did! He also worked out a Wet and Reckless deal with the court for me which meant I had no license suspension. Besides his amazing help getting me through this unfortunate time in my life, Josh showed me respect, honesty, and he was very transparent about costs. He was able to set me up on a payment plan that was affordable for me and my family. He explained every step along the way and gave me several options to go about my case. Truly an amazing lawyer and he will fight for you!
