Professional, Articulate, Supportive, Brilliant, Communicative, Easy to talk with, Simply the Best!

Joshua Cooley, his office staff and team stand way above all other law firms. After being refused by multiple other firms who felt they were out of their depth and unable to represent me in what was a very hostile and aggressive lawsuit, I was in my deepest darkest despair being falsely accused and... no idea how to defend myself from another state miles away. I found Josh! I owe so much to Joshua Cooley, his exceptional team of attorneys and office staff. They are all so competent and helpful. They work together and strategize outcomes. They follow through and are on top of things. They are extremely busy yet made me feel like my case was their number one case. With Joshua in the courtroom I felt like I had Goliath fighting the big giants for me. He stood up for me and defended me like no no ever has. He remembered details about my case and knew the exact things to ask and say. He is personable, respected and somehow always keeps his cool. He explained the entire process, explaining legal terms and things very well without ever making me feel stupid. He was kind and understanding. He is the best there is! He has the respect of all especially in the courtroom. He keeps calm and always says just the right things to turn everything around. He is a genius! This entire office staff is AMAZING and SMART! They work together as a team to bring the best outcome. The office staff is well organized, they plan and prepare so the attorneys can spend their time reviewing and fighting in court battles for you. Joshua Cooley, his office staff and team of attorneys have perfected the model for excellence in their field! This man and his team won my case with attorney fees! I owe so much to them! Thank You! Thank You!

wrongly accused, punished without notification of accusation and without due process

I was wrongly accused by a state institution and punishment was imposed before I was ever contacted regarding the accusation and without due process. Had this error not been corrected it would have resulted in significant financial hardship. After punishment was imposed, I was notified that there... would be an opportunity for me to meet with my accuser. Josh was contacted and, after some discussion, it was decided that he would represent me at this meeting. Josh immediately began his own investigation and was able to gather significant credible evidence including emails and numerous reputable statements confirming my whereabouts. Josh was thorough and professional at all times. When representatives of the state institution opted to play hardball Josh "knocked it out of the park". Josh's legal and verbal skill restored a respectful and constructive demeanor in the institution representatives. The punishment has been suspended while the institution conducts a more reasonable and thorough investigation. The services of Mr. Cooley have been retained as he continues to represent me in this matter - I believe my reputation is in good hands. Josh Cooley is highly recommended

"You get the best of both worlds with Josh. He isn't only tenacious, but smartly so. Rough and tumble when necessary, excellent negotiator when carrot gains more than the stick. Having represented co-defendants together and worked around one another for a few years now, I happily endorse Josh Cooley. He truly is a smart, zealous advocate that knows how to best advance his clients’ interests."

"I've known Josh Cooley for a long time now and have always considered him to be one of the best, if not the best, attorney I've been fortunate enough to work with. I was his co-counsel on several jury trials and every time I was able to learn something new & invaluable from Josh Cooley. Though I have only seen Josh Cooley in court representing persons accused of criminal offenses, I would not hesitate to hire him myself for any legal matter - regardless of the area of law."

"I've know Josh for many years, and I wouldn't want anyone else to represent me. From the time we worked in the same legal clinic in law school, he has been a tireless advocate for his clients. Josh doesn't let a difficult case, or personal inconvenience, or exhaustion slow him down. When you hire Josh, you will be the most important person he knows until he's seen you through to the end."
