I just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my experience with Mr. Josh D. Lee of Ward Lee and Coats. Far too often, people are eager to write letters or make a phone call to complain, let's not forget what got us here in the first place, "We Did". It's important to share how pleased I was with Josh's high level of executive acumen, knowledge, professionalism and determination. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, always made himself available and was extremely thorough when explaining the status, details or developments of my case. To sum it up, I know with absolute confidence, without Josh D. Lee representing me, I would have never achieved the high level of results I did. #1 Recommend
I would personally like to thank josh, along with his law firm. Josh is honest, dedicated and consistent. Never gave me the run around always kept things straight forward with me. I've dealt with countless lawyers/attorneys, I've never met anyone like josh dean Lee.
Josh took my case after another lawyer told me I had no hope. I was convinced I was going to go to jail for something I was not guilty of. I am so glad I found Josh on the internet because he saved me from certain doom. I can't recommend Josh highly enough.
Went to Josh after other lawyers gave me no hope for my case. Jokes on them because Josh got my case thrown out of court. Saved me from prison.
I have worked with several lawyers over the years. I have not found any that cared about my case like Josh did. He really took care of me and fought hard for me in court. Its nice to finally get a guy who didnt just try to talk me coping a plea and getting the case over. We fought and had a fantastic outcome. I highly recommend Josh if you have a criminal case.
Mr. Lee has represented me twice. Both cases were out of his specialties, yet he still did an excellent job. You won't find a more dedicated and determined lawyer. He stands up for his clients and is not afraid to fight for their rights. He is extremely focused and very detailed on every case he tries. He has a very competitive edge and wants to win every case he takes on. I highly recommend Mr. Lee.
It was a very good experience with Josh. He is a smart man. He knows what to do and when to do it. He is always here to help out with anything you need. I had two drug charges both felonies and eluding over a couple years. Josh is so good he got most all of it dropped and I ended up with no convictions. This man is the one to pick.
I went to Josh Lee with my DUI case and was surprised with his knowledge and just how nice he really was, in the end he saved me a bunch of headache and money, it was a welcome change from the @$$**** lawyer i used in the past for my divorce. Thanks James
I was charged with a DUI a few months ago and I talked to a few different lawyers in the area. None of them would fight for my license and they all just wanted me to plead guilty, I couldn't do that. I then heard about Josh. After the first consultation I felt much better. He said I had a very good argument and that together we could beat this thing. He was very caring and supportive and I felt like he was the only one on my team. He ended up beating it! I got to keep my license and I didn't get a conviction!
Was facing a life sentence for a possession with intent charge. Hired Josh and for the first time ever I had someone who I felt like they actually cared about my case. We pushed the case and it was thrown out by the judge. He was the first to ever fight for me.
