Josh is not only an exceptional attorney, he's a great strategic thinker. Josh has supported us with several critical matters and has even come in to save the day when other counsel couldn't. I highly recommend engaging with Josh.

Josh has been representing our business for over a decade on a wide range of legal matters. He is well rounded, knowledgeable and a savvy legal partner. He has managed complex negotiations and claims. If you are looking for an honest and reputable attorney - I would place my confidence in Josh!

Joshua assisted me with a substantial and complex executive employment agreement. He was able to cut through the agreement efficiently highlighting any areas of concern while offering sound real world advice on what I may have to accept and what to negotiate. His contract and labor law knowledge really showed. Also, his response time to emails and phone calls was excellent! Not once did I feel as though he was just trying to log billable hours. He listened and took a genuine interest in helping me get the best possible outcome. He exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Josh!

I retained Josh and the law firm for which he works to file a request for arbitration with FINRA in regard to a broker who mismanaged my account. Josh did an outstanding job of getting the case ready for mediation and he prepared an excellent and detailed mediation brief which was instrumental in obtaining a very favorable settlement at the mediation hearing. I was very pleased with his work and I highly recommend him.

Joshua is a true professional, he knows how to solve problems and explains things clearly so that us "non lawyers" understand it. I had such a great experience with Joshua I've recommended him to my friends and family, and am currently using him for a second time. Highly recommend.

Our company has been utilizing Josh and his firm, Burkhalter, Kessler, Clement & George for a little over two years now. Josh has assisted us on many things pertaining to employee/employer labor issues, contract negotiations/review as well as general business related services, and each time is responsive, thorough and timely. After retaining Josh and his firm, I can't imagine taking our legal matters anywhere else. His attention to detail, timely responses and immediate follow up to email inquiries are impressive. We have worked with many different "business legal firms" over the years and Josh and BKCG are by far the best.

I was about to see 22 years of hard work go literally "down the tubes" based on a dispute with my business partners. Having never needed an attorney in the past I didn’t know what to do or where to start. I did the only thing I could think to do which was to contact a lifelong friend who is an attorney for advice. He, without hesitation, told me to contact Joshua Waldman, "he is the best attorney for this type of legal matter". I immediately contacted Joshua and gave him a synopsis of the situation over the telephone and within 24 hours my wife and I were in his office reviewing our situation in detail. We left Joshua’s office with a sense of relief. Relief in the form of knowing that; to plagiarize an insurance companies slogan; “We were in Good Hands with Joshua”. When I got home I proceeded to write out the retainer check to engage Joshua’s services, but having spent the last 22 years in custom manufacturing I became accustom to hearing the voice of that little bird who sits on your shoulder and repeatedly whispers “get three vendors involved then make your selection”. So I did just that. I met with a total of 4 law firms over the course of the following 2 days. Those two days proved to be a huge waste of my time – none of the other firms made my wife and I feel nearly as comfortable as we felt with Joshua. Although the facts of my case and the ultimate settlement were complicated, the short version was that Joshua negotiated a deal that was even better than I could have hoped for. I was able to avoid litigation and get nearly everything I wanted in a settlement, and the deal Joshua negotiated meant that I didn’t have to give up nearly as much as I anticipated. And, to top it off, Joshua negotiated the deal in a way that required the other side to pay almost all of my attorney’s fees. I challenge ANYONE to work out a deal like that!! If you have any type of business dispute, I highly recommend Joshua as your go-to lawyer.

From my first phone call with Joshua to the resolution of our complaint, Joshua managed our selling away case with frankness, compassion and expert knowledge of the FINRA rules and securities regulations. His recommendations and experience helped us understand the scope of our case as well as past precedence in similar cases. His assistance and guidance through the FINRA mediation process was accurate and realistic.

We are incredibly fortunate to have had Josh on our side in resolving an issue surrounding our house. After discovering issues with our newly purchased home, Josh reviewed the documents surrounding our case and strategically assessed its strengths and weaknesses to help us understand our options. Josh took the time to understand our priorities and acted on our behalf with our best interests in mind. In addition to helping us make well-informed decisions, he also continually worked towards our goals and set expectations so that we were never surprised during the case. We were apprehensive about involving ourselves in a legal situation, but Josh took care of us from the beginning and kept us informed of any changes or meaningful progress in the case. He was able to mitigate our stress throughout the process because he knew what he was doing so we never had to worry. I was also impressed by his ability to engage the opposing counsel so that we were constantly making progress. He was the driving force in moving the case along when other parties had stalled or were unresponsive. He established rapport with the opposing counsel which I felt was beneficial at arriving at a settlement that was amenable to both parties.
