There are few compliments that I can bestow upon any individual that meet the criteria of MENSCH but Josh is one of them. I say this because he took time out of his busy day to speak with me over the phone (for free) and listen to the predicament that I found myself in having to do with my organization. Joshua asked me to forward my email communications and after he reviewed them, knew exactly how to respond. He resolved the matter (within 48 hours) and saved my organization lots of undue stress and potential liability. What matters here is that Josh LISTENED to me and provided solid expertise and advice. In my case, my organization was dealing with a nasty and threatening letter related to possible copyright infringement. But as I learned, this accuser was highly unethical and Josh made it abundantly clear that their tactics were not to be directed at our organization. I want to say out loud, THANK YOU, JOSH. You were the fourth law firm I contacted and you picked up the phone. The other firms placed me in "waiting" limbo. I recommend Josh wholeheartedly if you are looking for legal advice and potential representation. You will get first class treatment! read more

When my business partner and I started our business almost 20 years ago, we realized there were several areas where we lacked the necessary expertise and sought professional advice. I think our first meeting with Josh was in a loft, of a shared office space, and it may have even had a toaster in the corner. Our business has come a long way since then and so has his; and happily he is still our business attorney. From our days as a start-up, to a company now with five offices and hundreds of employees, Josh has been there for us. We have relied on his knowledge for formal policy development; yet we know he is just a quick phone call for instant advice when necessary. The next 20 years will come with it's own set of challenges, and we have the peace of mind knowing Josh will be in our corner to help us meet them. read more

IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE HAD JOSH RIDLESS REPRESENT ME. Background: When I needed a world-class attorney to litigate a trade secret misappropriation case , I asked an attorney who represented me in another matter, who he would suggest. That attorney (who is now a judge) suggested that I reach out to Josh Ridless. Pre-filing: Josh did his research and took the time to establish the facts before taking the case. He took the time to fully understand the specific nuances of the technology that were the subject of the complaint, comfortably diving deeply into the abyss of the technology issues that were at hand. JOSH OWNS THE COURTROOM. Post-filing: Josh is personable and persuasive in his arguments. He is reasonable in his assertions, and has a real talent for being able to pull up details and facts surrounding issue that are before the court. ( I think that even defense counsel was impressed with his delivery. ) Post-case -- Settlement: Josh effectively controlled the settlement process, while being open to suggestions on how to best approach certain sensitivities. He brought closure to the dispute in a manner that was equitable and fair to all parties. SUMMARY Josh's zealously represented me. He is *HONEST* --- and fair. And his billings were spot on accurate. BUT Josh is not just an exceptional lawyer - he is an amazing human being, Who puts not just 110% into representation, but into everything that he does. read more

I was introduced to Josh about 15 years ago when I was forming a new company and was considering the "Legal Zoom" route. In short, thank God I chose to work with Josh.

In addition, his continued guidance on contracts, new business opportunities and strategic planning is one of the reason we will be celebrating our 14th year in business next year.

Josh was a referral from a close friend, who is a business owner, and a happy client of Ridless Law Office for over 10 years. There are endless attorneys to choose from, but Josh was exactly the combination of legal expert and trusted advisor I needed. He always set my expectations realistically, and suggested the most reasonable course of action to take in order to best influence the outcome I wanted. Josh did a brilliant job of articulating my position with fact and force. He was very effective in facilitating a settlement in a relatively short period of time. I especially appreciated that, in spite of being one of his smaller clients, he always made me feel that I had his full attention and was in good hands. His rates are very reasonable, with clear and detailed invoices. The fees are in the range of what another attorney would bill, but Josh provides greater value. He works efficiently, and always towards resolution.
