He had reasonable fees, he is very responsive, and he knows everything you need to do from start to finish to get the best possible results.

Josh Branch, Cap Russell, and their team are superheroes, plain and simple…read more I was in a car accident in November 2022, on my way to work the week after Thanksgiving--and just one week after paying off my car loan! A teenage boy turned across three lanes of traffic directly in front of me while I was going 50 mph. I was driving a Honda Civic Coupe, and he was in a Super Duty Ford F150. I remember my life flashing before my eyes. I was taken to Piedmont Hospital by ambulance and later sent home with three broken ribs, stitches in my knee, abrasions on my arms, shoulders, and legs, and bruises across my chest and abdomen where the seatbelt saved my life. Josh and Cap fought for me for nearly two years while the opposing party tried every trick in the book to paint me as at fault. This was despite clear evidence to the contrary and the sworn statement of the Georgia State Patrol officer who was the first responder at the scene. The opposing party's insurance repeatedly lowballed me for a full year, offering a settlement that was less than half their client's insurance policy and not even enough to cover my hospital bills. Almost two years to the day, Josh and Cap settled my case for 50% higher than the opposing party's insurance policy--nearly 3.5 times more than the insurance company's original offer. I cannot express the gratitude and respect I have for this team of real-life superheroes. Thank you so much for all you do, for what you stand for, and for the genuine care you have for your clients. I cannot recommend The Law Office of Joshua Branch highly enough. If you're seeking legal representation that truly cares about you--not just the paycheck you can bring--look no further. You won't be disappointed!
