About

My practice is centered on helping individuals through the most difficult time periods in their lives. I represent clients in divorce and family law cases, involving issues such as child custody and support, alimony, and domestic violence. I also represent clients in trust and estate cases, including in will and trust challenges, guardianships, conservatorships, and other disputes involving the transfer of wealth.My clients come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. I personally believe that every client, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the best legal representation. I respect the trust my clients have placed in me during these difficult time periods and I strive to handle their cases with compassion and expertise.I strongly believe in resolving issues outside of the courtroom. However, I acknowledge that many issues cannot be resolved without court intervention. I take pride in my ability to present my client’s case to the court in the most persuasive and prepared manner to obtain their desired result. If I am granted the opportunity to serve as your counsel, I look forward to working with you.In my free time, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy real estate speculation, stock trading, and vintage automobiles.

I hired Atty Bearce for what I thought going in would be a fairly simple, straightforward divorce with most things agreed upon up front. I liked that he had trial experience as well, but never expected it to be necessary in mine. The situation evolved and got a lot more complicated unfortunately. I was very glad to have an experienced attorney, who saw several things coming that I frankly did not. He was always respectful of what I wanted to file for as an outcome, while providing advice on why different things would be a good idea or how they could backfire, while always leaving it ultimately up to me on how to proceed. I could not be more grateful for both the ultimate outcome of the case, or for the professionalism and helpfulness of Atty Bearce throughout the process. He was always on top of things, reachable, and able to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and easy manner. The support staff at the office was equally friendly and helpful. Made a difficult process that much easier. Some specifics involved in my case: a more complicated division of assets, custody division and uniform support orders, discussing a real estate disposition that was definitely non standard, and ultimately having to file for a default judgement when the other party refused to participate in the proceedings. We tried formal mediation but the case was ultimately decided at a trial hearing, something I never expected it to come to at the outset.

Attorney Joshua Bearce successfully defended me in a restraining order matter. He had very little notice to prepare for the case but made sure he didn't miss a detail. He went over the facts until he was satisfied he had every detail to present my defense. He was professional yet aggressive in making his points! I'm very happy with his representation and would hire him again.

We started with a convoluted custody situation mired by work from preceding legal representation. Attorney Bearce facilitated my case expertly and was nothing less than professional, intelligent, and candid. Everything he submitted went beyond my expectations and I would surely hire him again.

Attorney Joshua Bearce handled a highly-contested Trust case for me with expertise and professionalism. He was not only sensitive to the difficult situation with my family but he also was a fierce litigator in and out of the courtroom. Attorney Bearce makes communication a priority responding to questions very promptly with articulate informative answers. What I was most impressed with was his ability to extract key points and advise me appropriately as to which issues we should push and which issues were not worth it. He clearly has a command of the law and a command of the courtroom. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I originally asked him to help with a divorce degree however when negotiations started to spin out of control, he jumped in and was there every step of the way with great advice and legal knowledge. Every thing he said would happened in court went the way he predicted. He saved me hundreds of thousands and helped me restore my life back to normal. He cares about his clients and works very hard to ensure you are successful in court

Over the course of my 3 years of high conflict litigation, Attorney Bearce was always on top of his game and well prepared for the courtroom. He is very hardworking and diligent in ensuring everything is squared away and everyone was prepared prior to showtime. He is always available whenever I need immediate attention and if he is with other clients, he is very diligent in getting back to me as promptly as possible even if it means contacting me well after business hours. Attorney Bearce always listens to your concerns and provides upfront the reality of situations and does not sugar coat the possibilities. As a veteran, I appreciate his candor and hard work. He is a fighter with an incredible go-getter attitude and amazing work ethics. This with the combination of his skills was able to get me the best possible outcome for my situation. He doesn’t just go through the motions of the legal processes, but works diligently toward getting you the best possible outcome. Attorney Bearce has earned my utmost respect and I will definitely seek him out again for any future legal needs. If you need quality representation, I highly recommend contacting Attorney Bearce, This will not be a choice you will regret.

Attorney Joshua Bearce helped our family for approximately 8 months in family court regarding Parenting Plan issues in a difficult case. It was a very stressful time and he offered us emotional support. He is a decent human being, professional, and one who pays attention to detail. He communicated with us well via phone, in person and through email. He was always prompt in responding to us and did an excellent job with all the documents that needed to be submitted. He represented us well in court and we will certainly call him again if needed.

I hired Joshua for my family divorce case. I have been extremely satisfied with his approach and supporting and guiding me through the whole legal process. He is very thorough and methodical and at the same time very prompt for all my questions be it email or phone. The best part was he was realistic about my case and did not make any false promises and had my best interests in mind throughout the case. I would highly recommend him for any divorce case.
