About Mr. Joshua L. Ross

Josh fuels his passion for finding the winning argument with intellect, empathy, and conviction. At his core, Josh believes in his clients’ cause, and does not shy away from conflict or complicated legal matters.

Josh represents clients in a wide variety of civil matters, including trust and estate litigation, shareholder disputes, consumer and securities fraud actions, class actions, breach of professional and fiduciary duty, and property and contract disputes.

In his trust and estate litigation practice, Josh represents trustees, personal representatives, beneficiaries, and interested parties in litigation. Josh handles claims of misconduct by trustees or personal representatives, mismanagement of assets by fiduciaries, matters concerning capacity to amend estate plans, will contests, and undue influence by interested parties.

After law school, Josh served as the “elbow clerk” to Hon. Rick Haselton, former Chief Judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals. Before joining Keller Rohrback, Josh practiced at a different Portland law firm where he was a partner and served a term as co-Managing Partner. Josh serves as an arbitrator for Multnomah County Circuit Court and with Arbitration Service of Portland.

Community service is a fundamental component of Josh’s work and life. From 2013 to 2016, Josh served on the Oregon State Bar Board of Governors and served a four-year term on the State Professional Responsibility Board between 2020 and 2023. Josh also volunteered with Legal Aid’s Domestic Violence Project.

Josh was born and raised in Texas. Before law school, Josh lived abroad for many years, served in the military, attended culinary school, and worked as the assistant chef of a Moroccan restaurant, where he met his wife. He loves downhill skiing with his two kids and taking walks up Mt. Tabor.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
