“I am lucky to work with Josh Holcomb every day. I learn so much by bouncing ideas of his razor sharp mind. He is a confident, capable advocate in the courtroom.”

“Josh has the perfect attitude for high conflict family law / child custody litigation. He can feed off the negative energy coming at our client and turn that into a feeling of peace and support for his clients. When I perform "exit meetings" with clients I can't count how many times Josh's energy and advocacy have been mentioned specifically.”
