Josiah Weiss

I consulted with Josiah in February 2018 in regards to my custody case, which is a very high conflict complex case. I did not hire Josiah until May 2018, but he was contacting me during this time asking about the case and how he really wanted to take it on. Between May 2018-July 2018 he was paid $15,...000 but things weren’t adding up. August 2018, I received court paperwork from the other party in this case, which ultimately lead me to finding out he was and had been suspended from the bar since July 2018. I was scheduled for trial September 2018, Josiah was unable to represent me but promised he would find another attorney to be there, which he would reimburse from the last payment he received from me of $5,000 July 30,2018 (he had been suspended since July 8, 2018). Fast forward to now, I have been unable to reach him since October 2018, my current Attorney (who represented me at trial for Josiah) has also not been able to reach him. I am out $15,000, the trial went horribly since he never did anything for my case from the get go, and am now fighting a huge uphill battle to fix his wrong doings. I have been personally contacted by an investigator for the Office of Bar Counsel! This man is a total fraud, has caused myself, my child, and family such hurt than I care to even explain. The saddest thing about this whole situation is, it happened more than once to people who thought they could trust this man.
