About Joshua
Biography
I have years of experience in advoctating for, defending, and representing clients in matters involving criminal charges, traffic offenses, personal injuries, wrongful death, divorce, custody, and similar matters.
I am committed to providing solutions tailored to your unique set of circumstances. My focus is on treating customers as clients, not simply another case number. The primary belief and goal of my firm is to provide top-notch personalized service to each and every client.
I pride myself on standing out from the competitors through a high level of pesonal attention I give to my clients. It is my commitment that no client will ever be lost in the shuffle, which unfortunately often happens with other firms who try to squeeze as many people through the door as possible. In other words, I am motivated not by opportunism and greed, but because it is my passion to speak on behalf of the injured and aggrieved.

BEWARE / SCAM ARTIST
Despite Joshua Janis's exclusive review of himself : the only thing that he is committed to do is rip you off. He has a record of taking clients money and running hence: doing absolutely nothing for your case. Do not ever consider him as your attorney.

Civil
Used this attorney for a civil case paid 1000.00 for him to represent me he never appeared to the court. I asked for billing statements they were never produced.

Takes your money and doesn't do anything!
I hired this guy in June 2015. I had to call repeatedly and never got phone calls back. When I finally did speak with him (after having to leave multiple desperate messages requesting a call back AND emails), he lied and said he filed paperwork at the courthouse, which he did NOT. I also gave him ori...

Grateful For His Help Over The Years
I am not one to post review, but I feel compelled to write this about Josh as he has done a lot for my family and I over the years. He represented me on my divorce, my son on a DUI, and counseled me through another very trying incident in my life. He was always respectful, compassionate, and fair wit...

Top Notch Lawyer
I came to Josh for help with a divorce case with a spiteful wife who was out to do harm to me any possible way. Multiple PFAs filed, false accusations of drug use and abuse, you name it she did it. Other lawyers were just out for my money and did not want to listen to what I had to say or to my side ...
