Practice Areas

Appeals 80%

I primarily handle all types of appeals from the Philadelphia Municipal Courts and the Pennsylvania Courts of Common Pleas. My practice is primarily focused on arguing law to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the Commonwealth Court, and the Supreme Courts.

80%
Criminal Defense 10%

Although my practice is mainly limited to appeals, I have national-level criminal training (particularly in DUI) beyond that of most lawyers limiting their practice to criminal cases. I will zealously and effectively handle everything from Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) to felony cases.

10%
Intellectual Property 10%

With my physics and programming background and PhD-level statistics training, I can work with inventors just as easily as copyright authors. If someone is infringing your copyright or your patent, we can talk without the need (or expense) for an expert to interpret.

Well-Prepared and Thorough!

Josh represented me after an accident when I thought I was going to lose everything. I unfortunately didn't leave him a lot of time to prepare and he admitted to not having much experience in this type of law, but he showed up to our conference with the other parties extremely prepared... I think he ...must have read the law and my documents all night. His preparation seems to have paid off so far... I was at risk of getting sued and so far the other people have backed off. Thanks Josh!

Appeals lawyer | Jun 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Auriemma is the most intelligent and hardest working attorney I've ever met. He works tirelessly for his clients and is known for pulling all-nighters in the office in order to make sure his work is perfect. He is constantly researching the law to make sure he's up on the most current legal decisions. I consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to not only work with him, but also learn from him as well. He has achieved numerous favorable results at the appellate level and I would trust him to represent even my closest family members. I highly recommend Attorney Auriemma."

"Attorney Auriemma is the McShane Firm's appellate specialist. I have found him to have an unmatched command of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure. Additionally, he has an uncanny ability to concisely state complex arguments in a highly persuasive manner. I highly recommend his work."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jul 12

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Attorney Auriemma is a very skilled litigator. While he is best known as an appellate advocate at The McShane Firm where he uses his reputation, knowledge, and experience in the appellate courts of Pennsylvania to successfully defend the motorist accused, he is also quite a skilled trial attorney. I will not go to trial without his counsel and without his efforts. I absolutely trust him. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Feb 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Auriemma trains, works, and studies with the best DWI defense lawyers in this country. His dedication, knowledge, and professionalism is matched only by a few other special DWI defense lawyers in the country. Attorney Auriemma's willingness to undertake high level training on a constant basis sets him apart from those that just dabble in DWI defense. Attorney Auriemma represents the best of his profession. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their defense team."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
