Joshua is one of the smartest lawyers I have met and worked with. He rose quickly at the Riverside County Public Defender office where we worked together as lawyers for several years to successfully handle the most serious cases there were. He has since grown a successful private practice with his wife and continues to enjoy and enhance a very strong reputation within our legal community. I would not hestitate to seek his representation on any type of criminal matter. His work ethic and character are strong and he has a strong committment to defending the rights of those who are accused of crimes; more importantly, he exhibits sincere empathy and concern for those who seek his help.

I consider Josh a brilliant legal mind whose pure dedication to his clients, and the defense of their rights, has gained him very positive favor within the legal community. Although his zealous defense and advocacy skills are top notch, perhaps his most admired characteristic is his unrivaled desire to obtain nothing but the most equalizing justice. I would feel completely comfortable having Josh serve as my defense counsel in any criminal matter, regardless of significance, He is also a Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer's College Graduate as well, so he has extensive training in Trial Advocacy through hands-on training by some of the greatest attorneys of our generation.

Joshua is an amazing attorney. He is skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He attended a prestigious trial college where he was able to develop his skills. I have the utmost faith in him. I endorse this lawyer.

I endorse this lawyer. I had the privilege of working with Joshua at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. He is an aggressive advocate who will go the extra mile for his clients.

It is my pleasure to work in a legal community where Joshua Mulligan and his partner Forest Wilkerson are defending clients charged with criminal defenses. My work in civil rights often overlaps with these types of cases and client communities, and I feel privileged that Josh and Forest are available to offer guidance to me, and also to serve as a resource and potential attorneys for my clients who need them.

Mr. Mulligan has an unblemished reputation in the community as a serious, seasoned, and intelligent advocate for his clients. I asked Mr. Mulligan for some input a few months back, and he gladly listened and then provided valuable advice. I came away very impressed with him. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Mulligan.

Without hesitation, I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Josh for many years at the Public Defender's Office, and while there I would often seek his advice and counsel on cases, especially when there were complex issues involved. Josh is extremely creative, intelligent, and aggressive in his approach to defending clients. He also has a big heart and is trustworthy, which helps Josh connect well with clients. The combination of the above make him one of the best attorneys out there. If you're searching for a lawyer, look no further.

I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Josh and I worked together for the Riverside County Public Defender's Office for several years, where Josh was a senior attorney to me. I would often go to Josh for advice and ideas due to the breadth and depth of his knowledge and creative arguments. I always considered him as one of the anchor attorneys of the office and would not hesitate recommending to anyone that they retain Josh for their defense needs.

Lawyers there are aplenty in California and elsewhere; but lawyers with heart, not so much. I worked with Joshua Mulligan when we were deputy public defenders in Tulare County and I know him both as a lawyer and as human being and I unhesitatingly, unreservedly and enthusiastically endorse him as both a lawyer and a human being.

As an attorney, we develop a short list of colleagues that we'll turn to for guidance and support. Josh is on my short list. When I have legal questions, I'd never hesitate to question this attorney, as his knowledge of criminal law is not only extensive, but more importantly, accurate. Ask any lawyer a question and you will get an answer. With Josh, you'll get the right answer. I endorse this attorney as a colleague, and although I hope I'd never need his services as a client, if I were in a legal bind, I'd hire Wilkerson & Mulligan to represent me. They have "fight" in them, love a challenge, and will not compromise their client's best interests.

Josh Mulligan is a sterling lawyer, a cut above. He cares about his clients, knows the law cold, and refuses to be intimidated by aggressive prosecutors. He talks softly and carries a big stick, especially at trial. Unlike some criminal defense lawyers Mulligan has been in the trenches for years, trying the most serious (and apparently hopeless) cases and pulling rabbits out of hats. If you or a family member are in a jam with the awful machinery of "criminal justice" you can hardly pick a better guide through the thicket than Mulligan. He is trustworthy, hard-working, whip-smart, and seasoned.

Josh was my mentor at the Public Defender Office in Indio and taught me, most importantly, to be creative in defense of my clients, to never be afraid to present a tricky defense, and, most importantly, to never be intimidated by judges or prosecutors. These lessons have served me well in many victories in criminal trials. Josh is one of the most intelligent attorneys that I've known, and his intellect is most obvious during difficult cross-examinations. He is thorough in his approach to cases and dedicated to his clients in a way that is rare among many defense attorneys. Josh not only works through his own cases, but has an interest in the policy that relates to all criminal defendants and others caught up in our overreaching criminal "justice" system. Josh has experience beyond his years and has tried many more cases than those at his level. He has also been able to resolve difficult cases, sparing his clients life in prison. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Few attorneys can survive, must less thrive in the environment of the public defender's office. Josh is the exception. My work with Mr. Mulligan illustrated his considerable breath of experience, insightful approach to cases, patience in client communications and complete and practical understanding of the processes that defendants and attorneys find themselves subjected to. I would gladly recommend him for even the most serious criminal cases...especially those that are trial bound.
