“Josh is a very experienced and accomplished collections attorney. He is very knowledgeable and effective.”

“I've known Josh personally and professionally for over 10 years. We have referred potential clients to one another. I've retained his firm twice to collect money judgments owed by former clients.”

“I want to share my experience working with Joshua P. Friedman at Joshua P. Friedman & Associates, Inc. As a lawyer who has spent my career in large law firms handling complex matters, I rarely find myself in a position where I need to hire another attorney. But when I do, it’s because the challenge is outside my area of expertise, and I need someone who truly knows what they’re doing. That was exactly the case here. In 2018, I took on a case against a mechanic whose business practices were, to put it lightly, questionable. I filed the case under a Qui Tam theory to address a broader public interest, and while securing a legal victory was relatively straightforward, enforcing it was another matter entirely. Despite my experience and extensive network, I couldn’t find anyone who could confidently handle the enforcement aspect of the case. Entire teams of colleagues—who shall remain nameless—struggled to get it done. I was at a loss. Then I found Joshua P. Friedman, and everything changed. Joshua didn’t just know what to do—he made the process fast, simple, and efficient. He streamlined the default filing and has been instrumental in working toward obtaining the default judgment, all for a reasonable flat fee. While we're still in the process due to delays on my end, Joshua’s responsiveness has been nothing short of exceptional. He provides feedback rapidly, ensuring that every step of the process is clear and actionable. Joshua doesn't waste time, overcomplicate projects, and when you do what he says, good things happen. It's the kind of confidence and trust I seek to earn from my own clients. Don't know enough about the taxonomy of recognition to say more than this - if anyone deserves to be on a recognition list for... Creditor Debtor Rights and/or Civil Litigation (per light research), it’s Joshua at Joshua P. Friedman & Associates, Inc. Ever onward, -RHP”
