Awesome lawyer!

After 2 years of fighting for me Josh got me the result I prayed for. He work with me the entire time, guiding me to better myself. Because this was my 4th dui I thought jail was the only option. He is a great lawyer and very straight forward. Thank you so much Josh!

A great outcome!

We hired Josh because of a good review online and it turned out to be the best decision we could possibly have made. He was thorough, professional, caring, strategic and supportive. His strategy was point on for our case and the end result was dismissal. I would strongly recommend Josh with abso...lutely no hesitation. He is an honest, trustworthy lawyer who kept his word on how much money was required to try this case. He is clearly respected by his legal peers and the judge who presided. Although being in court is never a experience you would want to repeat, I know we were in the best of hands and amidst all the emotion, that was extremely comforting. I am happy to provide a personal reference if that would be helpful. It's so unusual these days to have someone fulfill your expectations and do what they say they will in the allotted time frame. An outstanding young man.

excellent

Josh has helped twice in the last 8 years. He is a pleasure to deal with. Very well versed and gets the job done. This man basically saved my life from getting 13 felonies dropped to 1 and then getting it dropped to a misdemeanor. I still have my job and lifes great.

The Best Around!!!

I was referred to Josh by another attorney to handle my case. Although Josh mainly deals with criminal and DUI cases, he was familiar with the civil matter I was dealing with. He is very well versed with the law and utilizes his knowledge to build a strong case. He kept me updated constantly and was ...easy to get in touch with. He always answered my questions and explained to me how the court system runs. The day before my hearing he held a mock trial at his office to prepare me for the next day. At the end of the day he made the other party look stupid and I got the result I wanted. I would recommend Josh without any hesitation. *** He also has free parking at his office!***

Don't let the smooth style fool ya...he's a pitbull for the side of good!

Case still pending but he got my Bail reduced from $55,000 to $2,000 by the 2nd court appearance or I'd still be rotting in County awaiting trial for ANOTHER 2 weeks! Worth every red penny...
