A PRACTICE BUILT ON INTEGRITY, HONESTY 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.

Milie is superb Bankruptcy lawyer
One of the best bankruptcy attorneys in town for sure. Ms. Joshi knew her stuff, was easy to talk to, and wasn’t judgmental at all. I felt really ashamed to let my finances get so bad, but Milie assured me that no matter how bad I thought it was, that she’d seen worse and that help was available. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with their finances.

Professional lawyer for Bankruptcy
Ms. Joshi is the best lawyer I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend her enough. She supported me all the way through my case, especially when I felt overwhelmed. Above and beyond. She makes this bankruptcy proses so manageable and everything went so smoothly. After the discharge was entered, she still had my back by fighting a stubborn creditor who kept trying to collect. When I needed her, she was there for me.

Ms. Joshi is perfect
Ms. Joshi is an extremely capable professional. She took the time to answer all of my questions and make the process easy and pain-free. Before meeting with Ms. Joshi, I was beyond stressed out and unable to cope. After our initial consultation, I felt like a huge burden had been lifted and that my future was in trusted hands. Now that my case is concluded, I’m stress-free and can live again. Thank you for all you do!

Excellent Service by Joshi
After making the decision to hire Joshi to handle my case, I could not be happier. Not only did she make the whole process of my Chapter 7 bankruptcy easy, she was also there every step of the way to answer any and all questions immediately. She took care of every detail and it couldn't have been easier for me on my end. If you need a bankruptcy lawyer, I couldn't recommend Joshi enough.

wonderful experience.
Joshi is terrific. Going through bankruptcy is a hard and difficult choice, and there's a lot of fear of how this all will turn out. I was so lucky to have Joshi represent me through this process. Their wisdom and advice made all the difference in world and led to a very successful outcome.

Joshi and her team were excellent today!! As a prior office manager, I give them an applause! I couldn’t believe I lucked out with such a warm, welcoming business! I’ll update again after we’ve filed, but I can’t express how much their upmost professionalism and personable presentation enhanced my experience.

Best Bankruptcy LAWYER
Joshi and her staff are hands down the best option when considering bankruptcy. I met with a few other attorneys before choosing Joshi and none came even close to the knowledge, professionalism, and courtesy of Joshi and her staff. They gave me a lay out of the complete process step by step so I always knew what was going on and an extremely reasonable price for the astounding service provided. If you are considering bankruptcy I highly advise reaching out to Joshi and garuntee you will see the difference between him and other attorneys. Thank you for everything Joshi and once everything is safe! Stay safe and blessed.

Superb Bankruptcy Lawyer
Joshi handled the probate of my mother's estate and I could not be more pleased. She was efficient, very knowledgeable and was able to explain the legal nuances of probate law in a way even a lay person like myself could understand. She never hesitated to answer my endless questions whether I contacted him in person or via email. Very professional. His fees were reasonable and well worth the cost to assure my mother's wishes were complied with. If you need a good lawyer to handle estate issues, I highly recommend her.

Joshi is the best lawyer
Joshi is extremely knowledgeable and helped me every step of the way. Not only did she look out for my best interest, but she worked long hours to ensure your case is properly handled, which made the overall process that much faster. Her counterpart, Joshi is equally as amazing and acted as the perfect liaison. She consistently kept me up to date with what was happening and was always quick to reply to any questions that I had. Both these women are professionals and highly skilled at what they do.

Happy to use Joshi for lawyer
If I needed a lawyer in San Diego, CA, this is who I would call. After calling several attorneys in the area I was helped with a person question and pointed in the right direction after other offices just told me I needed to try the clerks office. Thank you for being so kind on the phone and providing amazing customer service!

Superb and Fast Bankruptcy Service
Everyone was very friendly and reassuring. I felt my whole world collapsing. Very stressed and they kept reassuring me everything we'll be okay and I can relax. It's a new start for me. Can't wait for it to be finalised. The law firm didn't judge me and made me feel comfortable and confident in their company and people
