A PRACTICE BUILT ON INTEGRITY, EXPERTISE AND COMPASSION
A Law Firm Serving San Diego And All Of Southern California
When you're in debt, it's easy to feel trapped or overwhelmed. You may think you're out of options or not know where or how to start fixing your issues. You know you need help, but you're not sure who to ask and how to start. Or, you may not want to even ask for help because you are embarrassed or ashamed about your money troubles. It's easy to lose hope or sight of a simpler future. It's even easier to ignore your problems or promise yourself you'll 'start dealing with it tomorrow.
HELPING YOU FIND A FRESH START & A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Based in San Diego, Joshi Law Group offers knowledgeable and experienced representation in numerous legal areas with a strong focus on bankruptcy law. Our other areas of practice include personal injury, and litigation matters.
The firm was founded by managing attorney Deepalie Milie Joshi, who personally oversees each case. Our two other talented attorneys are Geoffrey E. Marr and Tara R. Lusher, both of counsel. We are also fortunate to work with Richard Draper, a certified paralegal and licensed private investigator.
WHERE THERE IS HARDSHIP, THERE IS ALSO OPPORTUNITY
The good news is: you're not alone. At Joshi Law Group, we help clients just like you find solutions to their debt problems. We understand how easy it is to get into debt and how hard it can be to find your way out of it. But just by reaching out, you may be opening up opportunities for relief. If nothing else, by giving us a call, you're getting a start on dealing with the issues at hand. Usually, we are able to offer options that not only relieve you of the daily reminders from your creditors, but also provide a step-by-step process for you to reclaim control over your life through bankruptcy or other solutions to debt. While our firm is largely focused on bankruptcy law, bankruptcy is not appropriate in every case. You can trust that we will only recommend filing for bankruptcy if that is the best solution to your unique set of challenges.
BUSINESS LAW: Helping Businesses Grow And Prosper
It takes a driven and inspired individual to successfully own and operate a business. An entrepreneurial vision, however, can only go so far — it is how you choose to execute those ideas that can be the difference between prosperity and failure. Because you want your business to succeed, the help that you rely on is critical, and this is especially true when consulting with an attorney.
At our firm, Joshi Law Group, we help business owners realize their goals. Our attorneys have an extensive history helping San Diego entrepreneurs as they structure and safeguard their enterprises. We understand that your business represents a livelihood for you and your employees, and we treat your needs with the attention and commitment they deserve.
We Have The Tools To Support Your Business
Whether you have 10 employees or 100, your business likely has legal matters to attend to. Our lawyers can aid you in building your company's foundation, and we can be there in the future when your needs inevitably adapt. Legal services that we provide to California businesses include:
Business formation: How you choose to structure your business is important. Whether you are launching a sole proprietorship, a limited liability company (LLC) or a general partnership, our attorneys can help guide you through the process.
Commercial lease negotiations: Choosing your organization's location takes considerable forethought. Our firm can ensure that your lease terms suit the needs of your business.
Promissory notes: A promissory note can be a complicated financial instrument — we can help you avoid potential legal complications.
Contract assistance: Contracts are essential to most businesses, and how they are constructed can prove consequential. It is often prudent to have an attorney review any contract that you or your business enters.
Business transactions: Mergers, acquisitions and buy-sell agreements are significant transactions. To avoid legal issues that can bring a deal to a halt, it is wise to enter negotiations with a business law attorney.
Our firm can help businesses of all sizes — including nonprofits — at several phases of their development. San Diego features one of California's most robust business communities, and our attorneys are well-versed in several industries.
Seeking Compensation For Car Accident And Slip-And-Fall Accident Victims
There are few things as scary as being injured or losing a loved one in a preventable accident caused by a third party's negligence. The consequences are felt deeply, immediately and may last for months, years or even a lifetime. That's why, when such accidents occur, it is important to talk to an attorney about your legal options as soon as you are able.
Joshi Law Group proudly represents Southern California individuals and families in personal injury and wrongful death litigation. Our two main areas of focus are motor vehicle accidents and slip-and-fall injuries. Keep reading to learn more.
Have You Been Seriously Hurt In A Motor Vehicle Accident?
Although most of us do it every day, traveling in motor vehicles remains one of the most dangerous activities we engage in. It's dangerous enough when drivers are alert and attentive, and can be debilitating or deadly when drivers are under the influence, drowsy or distracted by electronic devices.
If you or a loved one has suffered car accident injuries caused by another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost work time, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our firm represents victims of nearly any type of motor vehicle accident, including:
Car accidents
Truck accidents (semi-trucks, 18-wheelers)
Commercial vehicle accidents (delivery vans, transportation shuttles, etc.)
Pedestrian accidents
Bicyclist injuries
Fatal motor vehicle accidents
Municipal vehicle accidents (collisions with police cars, fire trucks, etc.)
Crashes related to dangerous road design or inadequate maintenance
Representing Victims Of Slip-And-Fall Or Trip-And-Fall Accidents
It can happen nearly anywhere. Maybe you are in a coffee shop and slip on a freshly mopped floor because employees failed to post warning signs. Maybe you were grocery shopping and slipped because a spilled beverage was not cleaned up. Maybe you tripped in a department store because there were boxes and other items left on the floor.
These accidents may seem minor and innocent, but they can have lasting, devastating consequences. Many victims of slip-and-fall/trip-and-fall accidents suffer back injuries, neck injuries and/or traumatic brain injuries. Others suffer broken bones or ongoing medical issues that last well into the future.
Commercial property owners have a responsibility to ensure that their premises are safe and navigable by customers. When they fail to take precautions or address hazards in a timely manner, they may be held liable for the injuries that patrons experience.
If you've been hurt after slipping/tripping and falling due to someone else's negligence, call to speak to one of our lawyers today.
