What Josh's Clients Say

    
Josh's representation was, simply put, totally on point. He answered all our questions, and provided info at every step of the way. Securing a local TN attorney from our home in Virginia was nerve wracking, but Josh exceeded our expectations at every turn. I work in the legal system as a court reporter transcriptionist, so I well understand how very important good representation is, to say the least. His work, without exception, was quick and thorough. My family is grateful for his great work, and positive outcome.

What Ellis's Clients Say

    
Let’s be honest… nobody wants to ever be in the need for a lawyer. I myself have been lucky enough to get the best representation in the area. Talk about pulling a rabbit out of the hat. I was looking at 6 months before I hired Mr Baltz from the Law Office of Joshua Miller. I can’t tell you what to do but I 100% recommend you to hire the defense attorney’s your reading this review about. I walked out no time to serve and am home with my son now thanks to Mr Baltz. Thank you for everything you did for me today.
