What I needed to hear-wisdom

I reached out to Josh Sneva for guidance on a potential slander lawsuit. While they weren't acting as my formal counsel, the insight they provided saved me a significant amount of time, money, and stress. ​Rather than encouraging a long and expensive legal battle, Josh Sneva gave me a very direct, p...ractical assessment of the reality of collecting awards and the 'net' result of litigation. They helped me see that the most strategic move was actually to walk away. ​It is rare to find someone in the legal field who prioritizes your actual financial well-being over simply filing a case. If you want a straight-shooter who provides realistic, high-level legal perspective, I cannot recommend Josh enough.

Highly Recommended.

I would highly recommend using Joshua Sneva. Listens, trustworthy, honest and willing to help you out. That was my experience.

Very professional, knowledgeable and caring !

Mr Sneva was my attorney twice. Very professional. Very knowledgeable. And cares very deeply about his clients. I highly recommend Mr.Sneva. I don't understand the poor review. I have had him as my twice. And both times I was satisfied with his treatment of myself , and his defense of me in court.

Works hard and works smart

I knew Josh from his public defender role. When my son needed an attorney I decided to see if I could hire him. Fortunately he had time. He kept us informed and worked successfully to get the best outcome.

Bumbling

I hired this attorney to handle a simple case. He failed to show up for court, and was poorly prepared when he did. Using no attorney would have resulted in a more positive outcome than what he argued for. Hire anyone else.

Replied last October 26, 2017

I do very little private work and therefore haven't been "hired" to handle a "simple case" is quite some time, and have no unsatisfied private clients that I am aware of - haven't missed court for any reason in years. Please call my office if you have any issues or questions about a case.
