Poor representation

I would recommend to avoid using this attorney if at all possible. I was represented by Joshua Burt in a case against AT&T. When engaging the services of the attorney I signed a retainer agreement which clearly stated that he would have errors & omissions insurance (malpractice insurance). A...fter the conclusion of the litigation I contacted Joshua to inquire about his insurance provider. Joshua told me that he did not obtain the contractually agreed to insurance. When I learned that Joshua did not adhere to the contract I contacted the California State Bar to inform them of the breach. The California State Bar informed me that Joshua was going through a personal financial crisis and as a cost savings decided to not purchase insurance. Also during settlement negotiations I requested for Joshua to withdraw as my attorney and dismiss the case. Joshua continued negotiating after my request for withdrawal. It would appear the Joshua's personal financial crisis motivated him to disregard my request for withdrawal and to engage in bad faith negotiations in order to obtain a quick settlement which contained in illegal waiver of rights pursuant to Business & Professions Code 16600. This is truly disappointing because Joshua does seem to have a great deal of knowledge of the law.

Consultation

While Josh did not take my case he did spend 30 minutes of his time talking with me trying to understand and explain my case and direct me to attorneys that fit my case. Josh was extremely kind and very knowledgeable.

Excellent Advice

While short and sweet, Joshua was willing to advise as to whether I had a case worth pursuing free of charge.

Goes the Extra Mile!

Joshua Burt went far beyond the call of duty in answering all my questions and helping me understand what I need to do next. I am most grateful!

Top-notch

Josh Burt is a top-notch lawyer and has my highest recommendation. Before I enlisted his services I was trapped in a Kafka-esque nightmare and at the mercy of two over-burdened, understaffed bureaucracies that were unable to communicate with each other or with me. Things had spiraled out of my contr...ol and I was at risk of severe penalties and thousands of dollars of fines for something that was not my fault. Josh knew just what do and the moment he got involved, everything turned around. He sliced through the Byzantine system like a hot knife through butter and the case was quickly resolved in my favor.
