Passion. Experience. Diligence.

Joshua has kept his law career in the mountains of West Virginia, serving businesses and citizens in various complex legal matters. He has extensive experience in criminal defense, as well as various business contract, and employment law matters.

Joshua began his career serving as in-house counsel in the hotel industry as an associate, where he dealt with countless business transactions, vendor agreements, premises liability issues, and all things related to human resources. 

Joshua developed a passion for criminal law after a family member was treated unfairly by the justice system, and he has focused most his practice over the last two years in criminal defense, and has proven himself to be a defender of the constitutional rights of his clients. “When you look at the history of the world, every country was ruled by dictators, and refused to respect the God-given rights of its people. There was a period of genius from the founders of this country when they drafted the Constitution. They understood that a government not restrained, and left un-checked, would wreak havoc on its people. I believe we have the best system in the world. It’s not perfect. But, it’s the best. Making sure the government respects the rights of its people is always my approach.”

When not practicing law, Joshua enjoys spending time with his wife and son. He enjoys hunting big game, fishing, kayaking, and travelling to unique places. Originally from the coal fields of eastern Kentucky, Josh chose to make southern West Virginia his home. 

“You know, people from Kentucky and West Virginia are so similar. Sometimes, I forget I even left Kentucky. The people of West Virginia have been nothing but welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to me.  My wife is from here. My son was born here. And there isn’t another place on earth I would choose to raise my family. I feel like I was always meant to be right here."
