I endorse this lawyer's work. Josh knows how to handle cases from top to bottom. He is the client's lawyer. He takes his oath to support the Constitution and law of the United States and California very seriously. He also knows a prosecutor should never file a criminal charge or prosecute a case when the prosecutor personally believes the "defendant" to be innocent. He lives by the code requiring attorneys to "maintain inviolate the confidence, and at every peril to himself or herself to preserve the secrets, of his or her client."
