About

I am a Denver criminal defense attorney who handles matters throughout the Denver metropolitan area.  I began my legal career in the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, NY, as a law clerk to a United States magistrate judge, a position that introduced me to a wide range of criminal and civil legal issues. I then worked at a large law firm in Philadelphia, PA, where I defended Fortune 500 clients in numerous lawsuits in state and federal court, and where I also worked to found the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, a non-profit legal clinic devoted to overturning wrongful criminal convictions. This latter experience, as well as my experience as a clerk in federal court, led me to open my own criminal defense firm.  In addition to my private clients, I also handle criminal matters as court-appointed counsel for clients in various Colorado courts and jurisdictions. Prior to attending law school, I was a print journalist, writing and researching articles for various national publications.  Before that, and after graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder, I spent three years as a volunteer with the United States Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa.

I hired Mr Johnson to handle sealing my court record. Being out of state I didn't want to try and do this myself, boy was that a good decision! Although the law was on our side the Assitant DA was not and took a fairly easy situation and made it his life's mission not to seal my 1985 felony charge. Mr Johnson defended every argument the DA had with multiple court hearings and In the end due to the over and above efforts of Mr Johnson my 1985 felony charge was sealed and I can now live the rest of my life without explaining something that happened 30 years ago when I was just a young adult! Thank you sir! Shawn Florida

Joshua was easy to work with. I couldn't easily come into the office to see him but he was able to help me take care of my issue via email and phone as much as possible. He got things done quickly and kept me informed every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone needing help.

Josh Johnson was outstanding in helping our son navigate some traffic court issues. He was thorough and got a great result. I highly recommend using him as he is an expert in navigating the systems in various Colorado cities.

I hired Mr Johnson for a traffic case where several points were at stake on my driver's license. I immediately felt at ease after speaking with him and subsequently hiring him to represent me for a very affordable flat fee. He kept me informed in the days leading up to the court date and called me immediately to discuss what the city would offer as a deal. My points and my fine were significantly reduced and I am so relieved and happy.

I hope you never need legal advice on a holiday weekend because it probably means that you, or someone near and dear, is in a bit of a jam, frightened, and in need of advice ASAP.. But if you're checking out Josh because, bless his soul, he's got weekend availability, believe me he is competent, thorough, prompt, and a very nice guy to boot. My wonderful but impulsive Family Member and I did not meet Josh face to face for nearly three months although he showed up twice in court on FM's behalf (who was out of country) and kept us fully apprised and up-to-date via phone calls and e-mail. He smoothed FM's way through the entire court process, all in all, saving us both from a world of worry. Frantic (client) meets knowledgable (lawyer), and this is priceless but fortunately not exorbitant. I highly recommend Josh's services.

Joshua was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond and took care of all my needs. To my surprise he even and came in lower than what he estimated. I have used lawyers in the past that no matter what, somehow used the entire retainer. Joshua updated me throughout the process, took care of all my needs, and refunded me the portion of my retainer that he did not use the same day he sent me the documents I needed. He even had a previously scheduled vacation where he worked on my file while traveling. He kept me up to date with a breakdown of the hours he did work, and let me know exactly how many hours have been billed. So happy, thanks again Joshua.
