Highest Integrity

This endorsement is based on a personal knowledge of Joshua Smisko’s dedication to the highest standards of jurisprudence and is a person of the highest integrity. I have personally benefited from Josh’s legal advice and counsel. His understanding and application of the law has consistently demonstrated a keen intellect, sound reasoning, and objectivity along with a sense of fairness and equity. Josh puts the well-being of his clients before himself in order to accomplish what is right and true. I have recommended Joshua Smisko’s to a number of friends who have utilized Josh’s services and they as well have also recommended Smisko Law to other friends.

Very Responsive and Professional

We came to Mr. Smisko with a problem with a contract that we had not been able to resolve directly with the opposing party for 8 months. He was very responsive and asked for all the details regarding our contract. After quickly digesting all those details, he came back with a proposed resolution and drafted a powerful letter to the opposing party. This letter had an immediate effect and our issue was resolved. Mr. Smisko communicated with us every step of the way, keeping us in the loop on the progress and all communication. A great job!

Powerful & Effective

After almost an entire year of feeling desperate and powerless, we finally decided to move ahead with litigation to try to receive our wedding photos. One letter from Mr. Smisko was all it took to get the incredibly precious photos, and we ended up not having to go any further. This is one powerful and effective attorney!!!

Not your typical lawyer!

Joshua charged me a very fair flat fee and did everything we asked him to. We had agreed that if he had to put in more time, we would discuss additional fees, but we did not have to.

Excellent job!

Josh did an excellent job executing my grandmother's Living Trust, Will, Power of Attorney and Grant Deed. He even drove to grandma's house to help her review all the documents! I'll definitely be using Josh again for any future legal services.

Diligent and trustworthy attorney

Mr. Smisko helped defend a case for my company. The other party made multiple claims that were not factually correct or legal. Mr. Smisko defended the matter vigorously with a variety of motions and other actions until the other party relented and dismissed the bogus lawsuit. We appreciate his performance and ability to keep us updated.
