I signed an agreement with this attorney in February 2025 regarding my child support case. It is…read morenow April 2026, and the appeal that was supposed to be filed has still not been completed. The 60-day deadline for filing an appeal was missed due to his inaction. During this time, court hearings were repeatedly postponed. The attorney did not take the necessary steps to file the appeal on time. Separately, the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) submitted forms to the court -- this was not done by my attorney. I paid $5,000 upfront and still owe an additional $1,000, including charges for phone calls and emails. I do not speak English, so all communication was done through written messages, which made me fully dependent on his office for updates. Over the course of a year, his office had constant staff turnover. Three different assistants left during my case, which caused delays and confusion. It became very difficult to get timely responses or clear information. Recently, after billing me for calls and emails, I was told that my language barrier was a problem and that they could not communicate effectively with me because the Russian-speaking assistant had left. However, this was never presented as an issue when taking my case. As a result, the appeal was not filed on time, and I suffered serious financial and legal consequences. I trusted this attorney's professionalism and expected my case to be handled properly. I regret not reading reviews before hiring him. This experience has caused me significant financial hardship and stress.

Josh is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning he was very attentive when I was just sending…read moremessages asking about the services he offered. We finally talked on the phone and also mentioned to him that we already had an appointment set up with a family law attorney. He was very informative and asked us to talk to the lawyer before making any decisions. We were very grateful for that because it showed us that he really cared and didn't just want to take our money. Well after talking to the lawyer we realized that Josh was a better fit for what we needed and decided to hire him. We do not regret our decision one bit. I have been more at ease knowing that he is helping us and really took a huge weight off our shoulders. He is very understanding and very knowledgeable and always gets back to us in a timely matter and also always communicates with us on everything that he is doing and answers all our questions. He also sends us the paperwork to review and wants to make sure we are happy with it before he files anything. We are so thankful that we found him and how helpful he has been through all this process. We definitely feel that the price we payed was fair and we would use him again and again. We highly recommend him. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

His questions as well as his responses to my questions conveyed a deep understanding of the invisible nuances that exist in families while also conveying a clear path forward for our particular needs. I found this to be profoundly important. Of all of the people that I consulted, Josh left me with the most confidence. The straightforward simplicity of what services he offers and the value that you get is also a big deal, especially when you're already stressed out. I hope that no family ever needs help sorting through hardships, but if you do, definitely give Family Solutions a try.
