Josh approaches every case with the understanding that serious charges demand serious preparation. Over the course of his career, he has tried more than 200 cases. That experience shapes how he approaches every matter he takes on. He prepares each case as if it will go to trial, regardless of how it may ultimately resolve. He identifies weaknesses early, evaluates risk honestly, and builds strategies designed to protect the client—not just move a case along the calendar.
Josh understands that preparation creates leverage. Careful case analysis, early investigation, and disciplined strategy allow a trial-ready criminal defense lawyer to make informed decisions at every stage of a case. Whether the goal is dismissal, negotiation, or trial, his approach remains the same: be ready, be deliberate, and be prepared to defend the case in court.
Criminal cases are stressful, personal, and often overwhelming. Josh focuses on clarity because confusion helps no one. Clients consistently appreciate his ability to explain complex legal issues in plain English. He takes the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure clients understand both the risks and the options in front of them.
Josh also recognizes that a criminal case rarely exists in isolation. Employment, family relationships, and reputation are often at stake. He considers those realities when advising clients and works to reduce unnecessary disruption whenever possible. As a result, his guidance is practical, honest, and grounded in real courtroom experience.
Josh approaches negotiation with the same preparation he brings to trial. When negotiation makes sense, he negotiates deliberately and from a position of strength. When it does not, he is prepared to move forward without hesitation. This is the mindset clients expect from a trial-ready criminal defense lawyer handling high-stakes cases.
He does not rely on shortcuts or pressure clients into quick resolutions that fail to serve their long-term interests. His approach reflects steady judgment, not guesswork.
Josh regularly handles DUI cases, sexual assault allegations, and protection order matters, along with other serious felony and misdemeanor charges. He also trains criminal defense lawyers across Colorado on trial advocacy, jury selection, cross-examination, and persuasive closing arguments. Josh graduated from the University of Colorado Law School and competed on the National Mock Trial Team.
