No matter how big or small your problem, Josh is the man to turn too.

Josh helped myself and my company out of a big lawsuit against one of the top companies in the world. It could have not gotten done without his guidance and support.

LLC. Issue Resolved

I had an issue with an internet legal services company that botched a legal issue with my LLC. Josh and his firm were very knowledgeable and quickly reversed the issue with the CA SOS. My experience with Josh and his firm was top-notch and I would definitely recommend them.

Excellent Lawyer! Compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable.

Josh was able to guide us through a very difficult situation with patience and understanding. He was extremely compassionate, which was important to our family due to the circumstances we are all facing. I/we would strongly recommend Josh.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
