Josh Visco was extremely helpful in working on getting my previous wet and reckless case expunged. He worked out on a payment plan which I can afford and help me get past this whole nightmare of a situation. I felt really relieved that they could help me out.

I am completely overwhelmed with relief and hope in a seemingly hopeless situation, all thanks to this law firm and those who represent it. Hearing how one of our family friends was able to get the justice she deserved, we knew exactly who to call the balance between initiative and empathy for my current suffering, to their strong support and insight every step of the way, Josh Visco helped me to find myself again after someone destroyed my life physically and mentally. Thank you Mr. Visco.

I reached out to Josh regarding an urgent pending legal matter they were dealing with. I called on a weekend not exiting a call back it was not during normal business hours. Josh took time out of his weekend and called me back promptly. After a long conversation I was able to setup a payment arrangement and retain him my case is still pending but the outcome looks good.Thank You Sir!

I got into some trouble and Josh Visco handled the situation so perfectly, a matter of fact he got everything dismissed and sealed! Also if you ever have to get ahold of him that is not an issue. They answer every phone call and email almost immediately!!! Great law firm I would use him again and I recommend him to everyone!

LOOK NO FURTHER I was fighting a criminal case for possession of an unregistered firearm a little over a year. My attorney before Josh continued to push my case out. He told me that the DA was offering 3 years felony probation, my 2nd strike. I was frustrated , as this case threatened to affect my career . Luckily I was referred to Josh Visco by a friend. From my initial consultation I knew this man was a professional , that would handle business. Sure enough Mr Visco walked in the court house and handled business ! I walked out of the courthouse after my case was dismissed due to illegal search. Mr Visco I cant thank you enough for all you did for me. If you are looking for someone who is well known, professional and respected , this is the attorney you want on your side

Josh helped my brother with a domestic violence arrest recently. I live out of state but was "helping from afar". I contacted Josh the night my brother was arrested, and the rest is history. He walked me through the entire process and was able to help arrange bail for my brother immediately. Over the course of the next several weeks, Josh led an investigation and presented his findings to the prosecutor. As a result, charges were declined. I have no doubt that his efforts played a major role in the outcome. I would recommend Josh wholeheartedly.
