DV

Josh can definitely prepare better and know cases a lot better. Overall, his team is good-- esp. Lew. Had to send reminders of my case etc. Outcome would not have been any different if he or a lesser paid attorney handled it. In fact, a more personal and passionate lawyer might have fought for my cas...e a lot harder.

Maximizing my tax return!

I've always been one to submit my taxes on my own, but I decided to approach Josh Brumley last year with interest in filing my taxes with him. Immediately he introduced me to the pro's and con's of filing with a lawyer opposed to independently. As a new teacher, I decided it would be best to have all... odds in my favor. Brumely went out of his way to ensure that I received as much funds as possible. He even showed me a few tips and tricks to make my following year more lucrative. Despite being in another state (Hawaii), he made me feel comfortable explained how my documents would remain safe throughout the process. As for pricing, he was extremely fair and considerate. I was extremely satisfied with my tax return last year, and will have him fill out my taxes once more this year. Thank you again Josh Brumley for taking care of people like me (educators), and making our lives far less stressful!

Excellent Lawyer

Josh is currently helping me through a very tough time in my life. I've been flirting with filing for bankruptcy for a couple of years now but have been discouraged by how hard the legal process is to understand to a lay person like myself. Finally with a bit of encouragement from my partner I reache...d out to Josh for help and it was immediately obvious that his expertise in the judicial process was incredible. I expect that of a lawyer, so then my concern was with his character and his compassion for his clients. Well he doesn't lack in any of that whatsoever. There were times I would get an email from him at 9:00pm asking for certain information which showed me how dedicated he is to my case. He was working on it at 9:00PM! There were also times in my own confusion I would ask streams of monotonous and seemingly obvious questions and his response time was super fast. I appreciate the work he is doing for me, his good attitude, his personal interest, and his dedication to the process. If you choose Josh, you've made the right choice.

Best Choice!

He has helped me with my pending divorce, and really put my mind at ease whenever I had concerns regarding the custody of my children. He knows exactly what to say, and he takes the exact right course of action to get the job done. I don't have a single complaint in regards to his practice. He is ver...y professional, but a warm, polite person. He's not your typical "cold, all-business" lawyer-type. I recommend him to everyone.

Posted by Alicia Hall | June 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney

He's the man!

My husband and I were introduced to Josh through a mutual friend. We were in need of his services pertaining to a legal matter and he delivered! He knows his stuff! Josh is very kind and never makes you feel like you're a bother to him like some attorneys. He takes the time to discuss matters wit...h you and doesn't make you feel like he's charging you by the minute. He's fair and reasonable. If ever I need legal representation in the future, I will call Josh first!

Experience

Rating:  7.8 (Very Good)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2023

updated on 03/16/2024

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Josh’s comment:

“This reprimand was based on a family law case from COVID.”
