After assignments that included misdemeanor trials and felony preliminary hearings and trials.

We talked about my issue(an old Warrant) they gathered some information and within hours they had contacted the power's that be & had the ball rolling. It's only been a couple weeks since I first reached out to Joshand they have already taken care of it! I'm so relieved. They were professional and quick to action.

Josh was truly remarkable throughout the entire process. From the initial consult through the whole time my case went through the court system, Josh explained everything, fought hard, and got me a great result. He truly saved me in so may ways. He was able to keep me out of jail, and keep my record clean. I was able to move on with my life, and I have no doubt the outcome would be different had it not been for Josh. Thank you!

I cannot thank, Josh and his enough for being there when I desperately needed legal representation. Working with Attorney Visco was an absolute game-changer for my DUI case. I hardly write reviews, but in this case, it was something I definitely had to do. I highly recommend Josh and Mike when you’re in trouble!
