About

I am a native of the Tampa Bay area and have lived here for the past 36 years. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in both Political Science and Criminal Justice, I began my legal career at Stetson College of Law’s prestigious law school in Gulfport, Florida. During my time there, I focused my training in litigation in all areas of Criminal and Civil Trial Practice, becoming a member of Stetson’s nationally top-ranked trial team, and competed with schools from around the country, beating teams from Harvard, Georgetown and Duke.After receiving my Juris Doctorate degree from the Stetson College of Law, I began my tenure with the Pinellas County State Attorney’s Office as a Prosecutor in the Sixth Judicial Circuit working with State Attorney Bernie McCabe. During my time there, I held many positions, including Lead Trial Attorney in the County Court Misdemeanor Division, where I, among other things, was asked to teach new prosecutors and law enforcement about various topics, including DUI law and enforcement. Further, I served as a Felony Prosecutor, focusing in the areas of Domestic Violence, Stalking, Child Neglect and Sexual and Child Abuse. Throughout my career as an Assistant State Attorney in Pinellas County, I prosecuted over 3,000 criminal cases and took over 60 cases to trial.Upon fulfillment of my contract with the Pinellas County State Attorney’s office, I began my solo practice in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I focused in the areas of Divorce, Marital and Family Law and Criminal Defense, helping people throughout the Tampa Bay Area, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Sarasota and Manatee counties. Eventually my solo practice grew into a successful partnership with offices in both Pinellas and Hillsborough County. Since turning my focus toward Divorce, Marital and Family Law, I have been successful helping my clients with litigating matters ranging from Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Paternity, Disestablishment of Paternity, DNA tests, Modifications and Enforcements, Restraining Orders and Injunction and Child Relocation while building a successful practice with my wife, Dina Busiglio Sheridan.I hold a license to practice law throughout the State of Florida and in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida.

I came into see Josh during my pending divorce. I was about half way through my case and in the middle of a mess. Everything in our divorce just kept going back and forth with every small issue, we weren’t making any progress, and I couldn’t seem to get things moved ahead. I felt so hopeless and drained. When I came in for consultation, just the simple straightforward manner in which josh explained how he would handle things, uncluttered my mind and instantly took some of the stress away. He was clear, to the point, logical, and extremely patient with all my questions. He took over my case and I started to see improvement immediately. Communication between attorneys improved, things were handled quickly and efficiently, some resolutions were actually made. We were still not able to settle, so Josh ended up doing a three day trial in my case. Again prepping for trial, Josh was so patient with me, answered all my questions, listened to all my concerns, gave me all my options, yet still give me direction on what he felt was best. Our case was high conflict and there was a lot riding on our trial. The kids being the most important thing. It’s not easy to pick an attorney and ultimately put your kids futures in their hands. I realized as the trial unfolded and I saw what it was actually like and what mattered to the judge, having Josh as my attorney was the best move that I made the whole divorce. While the other attorney was scattered, throwing out a ton of information quickly, repetitive and sticking on petty issues, Josh was extremely composed, well spoken, confident and clear. He presented my case in a way that set me apart from the drama and allowed the judge to hear and see the real issues. Josh was also extremely quick to respond to any allegations and cross examine the witnesses in a way that actually turned it in my favor. I walked away with exactly what I asked for, Josh got me the most important things to me in my divorce. Not only did I get what mattered most, but Josh also communicated and presented our concerns so effectively, the judge was able to address them in his final order, so that we weren’t left with a lot of open gaps to worry about later . Josh is an amazing attorney and he is genuinely a good person and having both of those on my side, during this extremely stressful process made all of the difference.

From the moment I started working with Josh and his firm, I was instantly put at ease. They handled my case urgently, provided me with necessary updates and supported me through some tough circumstances and decisions. Josh and Adrienne are incredible and personable lawyer I'd recommend any day! Dawn is a great assistant! Affordable and easy to work with!

Josh Sheridan is the third lawyer who has helped me over the last 10 years with my divorce and post-divorce proceedings. After my first conversation with Josh I could tell this would be a different experience. Josh reviewed the most recent motion my ex-wife had filed and then he quickly and concisely explained what needed to be done and cited the case law he would use to argue my case. It was a great relief to know that I had someone in my corner with Josh's experience, knowledge and ability to communicate so clearly. But Josh's skills as an attorney pale in comparison to his heart for those he represents. At no point did I feel like his client, he made me feel like his friend. As I told him, for the first time in 10 years I finally felt like someone cared about everything I had been through and everything I was fighting for. I can't think of a place where it is more important to have the right attorney than family court; everything you've worked for, everything you value is literally at stake. Josh Sheridan is the right attorney.

Josh really helped me throughout the divorce. Always reachable and willing to answer all my questions. And when we talked about how my home owner’s insurance underpaid me on older hurricane damage claim he said he can help me get more money.

I’m extremely pleased with the way Josh and his team was able to help me. Josh was able to educate and explain things thoroughly to me. Not to mention He was able to customize a plan for me that was extremely affordable. My family and I are extremely grateful for everything that Josh has done for us. And I am confident that he will do the same for you!

Thank You Josh for helping me with my divorce and custody case. Josh listened to me a year ago when I wanted to know my rights as a mom and my options and a year later it was time to move forward and I hired Josh to my attorney. He was quick to move the process and didn't just sit back and let time get the better of the case. He was great at giving his honest advise and making me see the reality of the case. He fought for my case and the best thing for my little one. I can't be happier with how he handled the case and I would definitely recommend him to anyone going thru a divorce

Joshua Sheridan has been handling my family law case since late 2014. At all times, he has been responsive to my questions and concerns and prepared for our various hearings. Josh has a knack for explaining complex issues to his clients which is incredibly important for a family law attorney. During the course of his representation, he has assisted me at mediation, as well as in a challenging UCCJEA hearing. He has also provided counsel through some challenging child custody issues. His knowledge of the local family court system has helped me get through some extremely difficult times. In short, I would highly recommend Joshua Sheridan for any family law matter in the Tampa Bay area.

I hired attorney Joshua Sheridan to represent me in a divorce. He was easy to talk to and he was very down to earth. I like that in a professional. The process of easy - no hidden agendas and he wasn't trying to make it difficult. If you need some real down to earth lawyering with someone who is easy to talk to, Josh is your man!

I hired Josh Sheridan in my divorce and child custody case after using 2 lawyers that were both non-responsive and not moving forwards. He took my case on at the eleventh hour of a pending trial and worked hard to prepare. Josh also managed to push my case forwards in lieu of an opposing attorney that managed to stretch the case out as long as humanly possible. Josh was responsive to my questions by telephone and email, let me review all documentation, and thoroughly explained each step in detail. He was highly resourceful in adding additional professionals to strengthen the case. In trial Josh was professional, calm, and extremely knowledgeable. Additionally, the cost of his representation was more than fair. I would not hesitate to hire Josh as he is one of the “good’ lawyers that genuinely wants to do the best for his clients.
