Josh and his team were absolutely amazing! My husband and I were put in a position that turned our world upside down. Josh was there from day one and helped us make it through this incredibly difficult time, that took nearly 8 years of our lives. He stuck with us through all the good and bad days, and there were far more bad days than good. He reassured us that everything would be ok and that he would do his best to help any way that he could. And he did just that, and so much more! The compassion, guidance, and attention that he showed us through what I can only describe as a " living nightmare" was what got us through day by day. We never thought that we would gain a friend during this process, and especially that friend being our lawyer, but my husband and I are truly blessed to call Josh our friend. If you are in need of a lawyer that puts you and your family as a top priority instead of a dollar amount, then Josh is the one to call.

From my first phone call with Altair Law I knew that they were something special. Their concern was all about my immediate well-being and making sure that I was getting the care I needed. Every step of the way they Josh and his team continued to prove their caring, competence, professionalism, perseverance, skill, strategy, kindness and empathy while maintaining full transparency as to the process including managing my own expectations of time etc. Josh is passionate in all that he does and how he works with his clients! Not only is Josh an extremely talented attorney, but he is a phenomenal human being as well! Josh’s incredible skill, insight and intuition proved instrumental in achieving the final exceptional results, that exceeded expectations for myself and my family. I cannot recommend Josh and the rest of the ‘Dream Team’ of Altair Law enough! Our confidence and respect for Josh NEVER wavered from day one! From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful beyond words!

I am truly grateful for the exceptional legal representation provided by Joshua over the past five years. From our initial consultation, it was evident that Joshua was not only knowledgeable in personal injury law but also deeply invested in advocating for my father's rights. He demonstrated a devoted commitment, expertise, and genuine compassion in defending my father's case making him an exceptional advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend Joshua to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer. My family and I are eternally grateful for all of Joshua's dedication and, also in, achieving a favorable outcome for my father.

I’ve known and worked with many personal injury specialists in my 50 years as a lawyer, but none of them better than Josh White. And on top of being extremely competent and diligent, he’s a great person: genuinely understanding and compassionate – rare qualities in this profession. In the past ten years, Josh and I have worked together on quite a few cases. I trust him completely. On a personal note, five years ago I was knocked off my bike by an Uber car and seriously injured (surgery, a week in hospital, more than a year of physical therapy). Josh represented me in my claim. I could not have had better counsel. He more than justified my faith and trust in him. Where lawyers are concerned, Josh White is as good as it gets.

Working with Joshua was a good decision that we made during a very difficult time. Joshua was very patient in understanding our needs and responsive to every question. Working with an international client must be challenging considering the language and time difference but Joshua managed extremely well. After the case was successfully settled, Joshua's kept in touch and followed through on the remaining actions, which provided great comfort. We are very impressed with Joshua's professional competence and compassionate attitude. Will definitively recommend him.
