This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Recommendation: Landlord/Tenant Legal Consulting

Josh provided me with a quick, clear, and concise consultation on how to proceed with an apartment maintenance issue - and also helped to advise overall tenant rights within NYC. I would highly recommend his expertise.

Knowledge+Experience+Skill

I am a businessman with my own company. I demand skill, experience and focus from my legal advisors. I heard of Mr. Wolf because of his work with another successful businessman; of Mr. Wolf's having made his legal bones via results-driven representation for New York City, including Mayor Como. He ap...proaches a given situation with keen focus, a backlog of knowledge and skill. I especially appreciate and respect his ability to quickly analyze a given legal challenge; lay out the alternatives and step immediately into action once a decision has been made. He keeps me up to date on issues key to my operation; speaks in a language I can understand; does not beat around the bush; and gets desired results on a consistent basis. He has energy; he's tough. I like him. He is a great lawyer.

Recommendation for Joshua M Wolf:

Josh has been a huge asset to my business, as a new business owner, he has been extremely patient with me in making sure that I feel comfortable with every step of the process. He has gone above and beyond to make sure that I feel informed and has answered all of my questions in a way that I was able... to really grasp all of the legalities involved in establishing my LLC and in building out agreements with my clients. He is extremely intelligent, a pleasure to work with and he's even a bit funny.

first rate all the way

Josh Wolf was my student at Hofstra Law and also my research assistant. He also later co wrote a chapter of a book with me. So i can attest first hand to his first rate qualities. Recently he also served as my lawyer. I asked him to do some complicated research with a time limit. As I expected t...he product (a memo) was excellent. A very complicated fact pattern reduced to its essence and analyzed with a sharpness of mind and a real clarity of expression. I could not have imagined or asked for a better work product. I would trust Josh Wolf to work on any problem or to represent me in any advocacy arena.

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.
