About

All through my life, I have personally witnessed family members and very close friends endure divorce, child custody battles, bankruptcy, civil lawsuits and even fraudulent criminal accusations. I both saw and experienced the stress such events can place on an individual, and I realized that everyone, at some point in their life, needs hope, comfort, and encouragement. In each one of those situations, the person that was best situated to provide that vital support was their lawyer.  So that's why I became an attorney.  I understand what you are going through—and I'm here to help you.  Our office is focused on meeting your needs and guiding you through what may be the most difficult time of your life.Before attending law school, I worked for a law firm focused on record clearing services, including expungements, pardons, and motions for appropriate relief.  The vast experience and understanding of North Carolina's expungement laws that I have acquired has given me an advantage in defending criminal charges, because not only do I fight for the best possible outcome in your case, but I am also continually conscious of the long term effects that a criminal charge or conviction can have on a person's life.  As such, I will do whatever I can to insure that my clients will not end up with a criminal record. I was born in New London, Connecticut, but spent the first few years of my life in Dallas, Texas, before moving to Rutherfordton, North Carolina in 2001.  Upon graduating from high school, I attended Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, where I majored in Accounting.  Eager to finish school, I began law school at Charlotte School of Law the day of my graduation from GWU, and completed my law degree in two years (instead of the typical three). During law school, I studied hard and strived to acquire the most experience possible so that I would be practice ready upon graduation.  The opportunities I gained included prosecuting criminal defendants through an externship with the Burke County District Attorney's Office, defending criminal defendants through Charlotte School of Law's Criminal Justice Clinic, and interning with Farmer & Morris, PLLC.I am blessed with a beautiful wife, Gabrielle Valentine, who is an attorney at Farmer & Morris, PLLC, in Rutherfordton, North Carolina.  In my free time, I enjoy helping with the youth group in my church, playing basketball and softball in our local church leagues, serving in the prison ministry, and spending time with my family.

When I went through my divorce I had a lawyer they just took my money and hung me out to dry. But Josh Valentine fought for me and and believe me that means a lot. He got the false charges against me thrown out and I would definitely use him again. Thank you Josh

Josh step in when I thought I had no where else to turn. He assured me that everything was going to be okay and that he was going to handle it and that's just what he did he not only saved my life he saved my girls life.

Josh was extremely helpful when I called and explained my situation and issue I had with a previous lawyer. He was understanding and went above and beyond to help get our issues resolved as quick as possible. I HIGHLY recommend his services and will pass his information along to anyone that I know needs it.

I called and had a five minute conversation with Josh. He explained how the process worked and how much it would cost. I paid him over the phone and was done. 5 minutes on the phone and my ticket was taken care of. He emailed me the next day to confirm that it was handled. Very fair pricing as well.

I had contacted and even consulted with quite a few lawyers in this area before finding Mr. Joshua Valentine. What was important to me was to find a lawyer for my custody issue that listened to me and believed in me. Mr. Valentine was immediately the right choice because he possessed these qualities and so much more. Not only did he truly listen and care, he also was available almost any time, he was honest and respectful, and he was knowledgeable of the law without being arrogant. His prices are also unbeatable and I would have paid more for the peace of mind that came with working with him. The legal system needs more lawyers like Mr. Valentine.

I hired Josh Valentine when seeking custody for my two children. Mr. Valentine was pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and someone I would highly recommend. He was always prompt to respond to my questions and concerns and made sure that I had a thorough understanding of what was going on. If I ever need legal services in the future, I know who to call.

It was my first time needing to hire a lawyer. Mr. Valentine walked us through the entire process in detail, insuring my family that I was not going to serve a jail sentence and providing us confidence that the situation would be resolved. Professional and kept me well informed throughout my case. Definitely would hire again if in legal trouble.

I hired Mr. Josh Valentine to represent me in a custody hearing. I have my children primarily but My order was for joint. I have been fighting for years to get this resolved. I actually paid child support for my children even tho they lived with me. Mr. Valentine was amazing in court! He is an awesome attorney and he really stood up for me! He really cares about his clients and it shows! He is very intelligent and confident but not arrogant like most attorneys. He is trustworthy and honest! Which is a miracle to find these qualities in an attorney! He answered every email almost immediately and even called me personally at times. He would answer me even on the weekends and at night! I walked out of court with full primary finally after all these years! Also unlike most attorneys he didn’t try to leave me broke! He is extremely reasonable with his prices!!!! I would give him 10 stars if I could. I will be recommending him to everyone I know!!! He is lead by his faith and I honestly never thought I would be able to find an attorney like him. He has truly been a blessing to myself and my family.
