Promises but does not keep anything

This attorney is the worst I have ever hired. Although I paid him a nice amount, despite my financial problems, he did not do anything . He told me in writing that he had requested documents, even submitted them to the courts. Upon checking with the authorities it turns out that he did not do anythin...g. I started working with him in 2017 but by the end of 2018 nothing happened and he can not be reached now for months. Stay away from him!!

Took money then no communication

Last year I hired him for a Divorce. Paid him the retainer fee. For a few months there was great communication and very sympathetic. After my divorce was put on hold upon my request, I then decided to recently move forward with the Divorce. After months of trying to get ahold of him via phone a...nd email, he is unreachable. He doesn't return my emails or phone calls. So now I'm stuck!

Single mom, needed help and after money was exchanged communication was no longer

I reached out to Josiah dealing with a serious personal matter and needing a divorce. After taking the retainer and payments I still do not have a divorce. I have tried to call him since August (it is October) as well as email and text. I do not have money for another attorney. I am in a bad position... and just want to have my divorce finalized.

An absolute professional if ever sense of the word. Worked with me during a Combat Deployment and saved me thousands during my legal issues. Responded to all calls and e-mails quickly. A dedicated individual to his clients and always putting the client first - dedicated to selfless service and paramo...unt in navigating he trickiest legal issues. I highly recommend this Attorney in any and all legal matters.

one of the worst attorneys ever

I had him as an attorney come to find out he never filed anything for me in court he lied. Also never returned my calls or texts for 3 months as im asking him why havent u done anything after he said he went into court for me. Im reporting him to the bar association. I just hope i can get my legal d...ocuments back that i had given him

I am deeply sorry that you feel forgotten. It was never my intention. I also apologize for any communication breakdown that may have occurred. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Josiah recently assisted me with an immigration matter and right away, it was apparent that he had the knowledge and drive needed to become a successful attorney. Realizing his skills and long term potential, I asked him to join my firm in an "of counsel" position. I look forward to working with him on many more immigration cases, and within his other areas of expertise, including international/business law."
