I came across this firm purely because of it's location by my house and I ended up being SO HAPPY that I simply lucked into finding such a good lawyer, so I figured I should write a review! Joshua was really professional and empathetic right from our first meeting. It wasn't a great situation to be in, but it was so reassuring having somebody to explain my options and all the really confusing aspects of the law relating to my issue, and also help me understand what to expect next in the process. He checked in with me frequently, his fee was very reasonable, and I felt like he worked really hard for my cause. I don't have any other experience with lawyers, but I know who I would contact first if I ever had another issue. Joshua and his partner James were a huge help to me. read more

I reached out to discuss two separate legal matters. I was initially told one consultation would be free, while the other would cost $500. When I declined to move forward with the paid consultation, I was told that the previously "free" consultation would now also require the $500 fee. This kind of last-minute change to pricing terms felt inconsistent and left me questioning the firm's transparency. I do not recommend this firm. read more

I wish I would have read all the reviews everyone who gave a 1 star was accurate i sent this firm paper work months ago then once I had money to pay it wasnt worth it, they could have just told me they would not take my case and saved me 500 I feel law firms like this are just preying on people in vulnerable situations they bated me in by saying he may take the case after I did the consult he didnt even comprehend that I had a new retaliation claim and he made the conversation confusing, confrontational and combative just to say No. I guess it had to sound good to justify taking my money and he didnt care at all. I completely wasted my time. Read the reviews people and save your money dont even waste your time read more

Demoralizing experience. Provided Josh with evidence of retaliation that other lawyers say is a strong case and he says he doesn't see a case here, even when there are other people from my background having similar experiences. It just makes you question your right to fight discrimination and mistreatment and you waste 500 bucks. Attitude of the lawyer saws alot, but during consultation, this attorney Josh just makes you feel guilty for fighting your rights and second guessing. Even if he took on my case, the energy I got was not positive. read more

I have had this firm represent me twice in different municipalities. The communication, professionalism and understanding were amazing. I hope not to need a lawyer in New Jersey again, but if I do, I would call them immediately read more

I've never dealt with an intake process this careless, unprofessional, or dismissive. I submitted a complete, well‑documented ADA retaliation and wrongful termination case -- including two EEOC Right‑to‑Sue letters, my full discrimination charges, a clean timeline, evidence, and a VEC ruling in my favor. This is a strong, winnable case, and I made that clear from the start. Instead of any real communication, I had to follow up twice just to get a basic response. After days of silence, all I received was the same generic template message they clearly send to everyone, with no attorney contact, no review of my documents, and not a single follow‑up question. The intake coordinator gathered all my information, then disappeared without any courtesy or professionalism. No call, no transparency, no effort. If this is how they treat people seeking help -- especially in serious ADA matters -- I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend this firm to anyone. read more

5 stars for honesty, openness, and humility. Joshua made time to speak with me and learn about my situation. After recognizing I had a specialized need, he referred me to a colleague. read more

would not recommend at all! I never even was able to speak to a real attorney. Never got passed the gate-keeping intake guy. I followed their instructions and sent them the evidence I had against my employer which was a lengthy voice recording of a meeting. I was informed by the intake guy that the lawyer said he couldn't take the case. After I had responded to the email asking why exactly it didn't fit their criteria, they completely ghosted me!!! Not professional at all read more

Don't Do it! I suspect this law firm survives on charging for consultations coz their reputation as lawyers is awful. What I have typically experienced is that a valid law firm does not charge anything if they do not think you have a case. Joshua Erlich charged me $400 to tell me that I did not have a case and accused me for pursuing money! Wow Pay attention to what all the reviews are saying. They are extremely unprofessional and it didn't make sense to me that they insulted my case yet it was valid in may facets. You could have thought that I was the lawyer during that consultation, not Joshua Erlich. Then I realized that their tactic is to not take cases that they would need to work on, but still make money by charging you for consultation. Don't take this law firm seriously. Take your case to a legit law firm. read more

He is never prepared on purpose to keep you on the phone longer to charge you more, his performance is. Minus hundred, if you hire him, you would regret. read more

Do not waste your time with this firm. I asked to speak with one of the attorneys regarding a case I wanted to pursue. Two highly unprofessional staff members stepped in, asked me a few questions, and proceeded to mishandle the call. The attorney never followed up. First impressions speak the loudest, Mr. Erlich. read more

Mr. Erlich in my opinion is an ambulance chaser and a thief. He takes ur $$ then never returns ur calls and turns against u, at least that was what he did in my case. He doesn't know the law that well, at least in Federal Court. When finally writing up my motions, one was for injunctive relief, the 4th or the 8th Circuit Court set 4 requirements in order to win the motion, when I asked him why we weren't doing the motions, I asked him about them and he told me "that there r no such requirements", HE WAS WRONG! When he actually filled the motions and got the other sides response, one exhibit was titled "Loudoun Co. Animal Control Official Incident Report", which I made him aware of when we first met; however, he read it as "LC Official Police Incident Report". He called me and told me that I was a "MENANCE TO SOCIETY", and that "I was out of control", and "I should be locked up for wasting the police's time" and a few other names, now he is my lawyer and he told me that he was filing a motion to have a "LEGAL GUARDIAN" appointed for me. Can u believe it! He refused my calls, texts and emails that I was trying to EXPLAIN that he mis read it. Well he went in front of the Federal Judge that Monday, according to what I was told, the Judge reamed him and dismissed my case! Oh, I had him on speaker and my neighbor was listening to him berating me. I demanded my $$ back, because of his screw up, but never heard from him again. My name is William Selepack and if u have any questions, please feel free to call me at 202.277.6879. He is not a good lawyer! read more

Even though I had proven I had a case with an apartment complex, Virginia Housing Resource Center and Salvation Army, Louise dismissed me. I had a digital trail. I have serious diabetic complications, Bipolar 1 and PTSD. My conditions were worsened because of what happened. Bryce is the only nice person there. Go elsewhere. read more

Low Ratings From the Spoiled Washington People? What Else Is New? To give you an idea of what you are dealing with, keep in mind that in the Washington area, there are people that do not have a clue to raising children. As they age, these children know nothing but spoiled behavior and contempt for others. They are raised by narcissistic parents that never treated them like human beings so logically all they want to is scapegoat others continually. Look at these ratings. They are skewed and are either very poor or very good. What does that tell you? Understand that there are people in the Washington area that are very unrealistic and do what they can to punish others because someone like John Ehrlich who has a JD and his own law firm is considered to be a slave. I once read a review for the post office in Merrifield. The person gave it one star because he showed up several minutes after it closed and the slaves/the workers at the post office refused to open the door for him! I am not making this up! There are people in the Washington area that are all grandiose delusion. They simply cannot handle the reality that someone that has a JD is better than them. read more

I left a message the week prior didn't get a call back until the next week to be told nothing basically because the gentleman that called me seen to know nothing. Alright from that conversation I could tell that it wouldn't be a good fix for me. If you can't answer simple questions about law then you aren't someone I would want represent me. The person had no customer service. First impression are everything even if you couldn't help me begin helpful knowledgeable and friendly is common courtesy. read more

I wish I had read these reviews before making the appmt. w/this law firm. Based on personal experience: this lawyer was NOT knowledgeable in the basic, legal subject matter for which I initially called in ADVANCED about. I got the impression he was coasting the "consultation" w/general abstractions, he looked bored & was rather insouciant. Charged the full 1 hour but it was ONLY 25 minutes. I would STRONGLY suggest that you do your research before making any commitments. My own indiscretion came at a great expense. Wouldn't recommend this person. read more

I sought out legal representation from this office a few months ago. They gave me some time to get in my documentation and decide which route I wanted to take. They never followed up with a fee schedule or anything that they told me they would do. Upon checking in with them, all of a sudden they are full. And you know what? With the holidays they more than likely are, but I'm insulted by who they referred me to. I sincerely believe the referral was made based on race and gender. It's hard to find honest people who mean you no harm in this day and age. Would not recommend wasting your time with this group. read more

I called The Erlich Law firm and was asked to fax and email documents for my case to Josh Erlich. He never responded to let me know they were received. I didnt get a phone call stating that they will represent me or not and every time I called he was in a meeting. Makes me feel like Im being discriminated against because of my case. I sent everything Josh Erlich asked and the fax went through to the right number. I can only imagine how they are in court, they drop the ball on the git go. No thanks! ZERO STARS read more

I would highly recommend against going here for a consult and recommend saving your money. I went in with specific goals and hoping to leave feeling more confident and with a set plan to move forward, and left feeling very confused and uncertain how to proceed. I met with Josh and a colleague and for 350 dollars, got less questions firmly answered and also did not feel like my time there was very valued. For instance, in the middle of the meeting a call went through that interrupted the session, and his colleague's phone rang twice. Furthermore, I felt very rushed to end early when he made a statement like "we still have some time but I think that's it" and we started a few minutes late/ended a few minutes early. I think it's important to value client's time and as a whole-I would avoid this law office if you want to feel: valued, heard, and confident about your case. 350 dollars may not be a lot for Josh, but it's a lot of money to most people. read more

I was sole Trustee of a small 70 yr old Virginia church that found itself operating under a perilously fractionated leadership. My ears perked up when they moved to abolish the current constitution and bylaws - and go it alone without a replacement (?). I sought Josh Erlich's firm as it came well recommended to deal with complex issues - that could surface in non-profit, unincorporated organizations. He explained my obligations to both the church and state of Virginia and worked with me while the church was renegade. I held my ground and 8 mo. later was able to amicably transfer the church Trust to a qualified member when the church body voted to reconvene a new leadership under existing constitution and bylaws. During this, I found him to be courteous, professional and caring of all the issues. When dust settled, three church Elders thanked me for taking the initiative to engage his legal counsel. read more

Beware of Joshua Erlich Law Firm. I'm not sure what other parties are within the firm, due to me not meeting the other colleagues. I had a conversation with Mr. Erlich in regards of a job accusations, and Mr. Erlich and I stayed on a phone conversation for a hour before he made his decision of helping me build a case. Mr. Erlich stated that I had a case, but if would be a difficult case. I asked Mr. Erlich how much would he charge for assisting me with me fililng against the company. He stated that we are very expensive ! I stated to him if you can help, just give me the price. The price was 6,000 to take the case. I told Mr. Erlich that I would have the fees for him next week. He sated that he would set up a time foe Monday to do the contract and the payment. My arrival that Monday with Mr. Erlich was no more than 20mins. Mr. Erlich on took my payment and had me signed the contract of a flat rate. Mr. Erlich took partial documents that I prvided him with, and made copies. After he handed all my documents back to me. I noticed that all of the documents that were staple and labeled together by me were separated. He then asked for the payment, and said that he is in a rush due to him having to see another client. Mr. Erlich stated that he would send me a copy of the contract by the end of the day. My payment was cashed three days later, and I didn't receive a email or a phone call from Mr. Erlich in regards of scheduling the meeting to go over everything. I made three calls to the office after a week of my contract and setting up the meeting. I didn't get a response of call from Mr. Erlich for a month, or a copy of my contract. I made several more calls to the office, and voicemails that were unreturned. Once I finally spoke to Mr. Erlich he only stated that everything is looking good, and I will call you in three days to do a follow up question. He again rushed me away, and said that he was headed to court. I didn't received a phone calls until almost two weeks later, Then once I spoke to him for more than 2mins. His tone seem very rude and he started asking me questions that I wasn't even sure how he came up with the question about my case. HE stated that from the email that I read it seems like you were a pain in the A##, and for that I cannot help you. I was lost for words for a minute! I told him what are you talking about, and how can you make assumptions off emails. You haven't spoken to me directly. I asked him if you had started on my case and didn't contact me about any updates. He said that he didn't need to speak to me directly, and the phone call would be enough. Mr. Erlich basically have taken 6,000 from me, and lead me to believe that he could help me. When honestly he took advantage of me, and my financial status. I'm financially damaged from this guy taking my money, and did a case without involving the client. DONT NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!! LEGAL MALPRACTICE/LACK OF COMMUNICATION/MISLEADING/UNPROFESSIONAL. I'm not sure about the other colleagues at the firm. I'm just CERTAIN about JOSHUA ERLICH. Be mindful when choosing an attorney/ do you homework of looking/read the reviews if any are available. read more
