"Josh Bam is an attentive listener who is whip smart, knowledgeable and thorough in his research. On more than one occasion I have referred challenging legal matters to Josh that fell outside of my areas of expertise. One of the clients I referred to Josh was so happy with his service and the results they brought us cookies to thank us for the referral. You can't make this stuff up. I can truly say that when I refer a client to Josh Bam, I refer with great confidence indeed. Josh is a great addition to the Washington State legal community and Benchmark Legal is team of talented legal minds. Without question, Josh Bam is one of the "good guys"!"
"My husband is a highly competent tax and business attorney who has prepared personal taxes for hundreds of people. He also teaches Advanced Tax Certification Courses. If you need an expert on tax law, he knows the ins and outs."
"Highly recommended."
