 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to Mr. Visco. From the day he took my case, he treated me with respect, believed in me, and stood by me through one of the most difficult times in my life.

Mr. Visco was always honest, prepared, and available to answer my questions. He explained every step of the process clearly, kept me informed, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Having him in my corner gave me confidence and peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time.

Because of Mr. Visco’s hard work, dedication, and commitment, my case was ultimately dismissed. I will always be grateful for the outcome and for the exceptional representation he provided.

If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients, is highly knowledgeable, and will fight for the best possible result, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Visco. He exceeded my expectations, and I cannot thank him enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh does NOT play! He's the real deal. I asked for the representation and outcome I received! Both he (and Michael - his partner in the firm), are [both] supremely trained, certified, and qualified in all realms of Criminal Defense.

I had interviewed several attorneys before selecting Josh and his team. Let me be clear: If you're looking for an attorney who will act as a 'showman' and then under-perform in your case, Josh is NOT your guy. He's superbly professional, and has massive experience in all realms of Criminal Defense. His background as a prosecutor aptly helps in evaluating your case. He is very straight-forward, and does not like to 'sugarcoat' options and/or case details. Rely upon his knowledge, certifications, and experience to help guide you through your journey in the justice system. He will go far above and beyond to ensure your case is worked, evaluated, and thoroughly represented. SIX stars - if I could; and both thumbs UP!
