Josh is an excellent lawyer for drink driving cases… he is always happy to listen, answer my calls day and night and on weekends and gave me clear advice the whole time. He is also a gun in court and was able to get me no conviction and a small fine when other lawyers told me I would be in much more trouble. Thank you Josh for your hard work and I highly recommend you.

Josh Smith and Shelly Moshe worked above and beyond to ensure I had a water-tight case on my appearance in court early this year. Shelly's background work and presentation were second to none. Mr Smith was controlled and made my appearance so easy, notwithstanding the brilliant result he delivered for me. I can't recommend this team more highly. Thank you both for all your efforts and the outstanding follow-up calls.
Josh recently represented my husband and I. Josh was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t make any false promises and was fair/reasonable/straightforward with his charges. Josh was successful with two cases he represented us in and has taken a lot of undue stress off us both. I highly recommend Josh and hopefully we don’t have to use a lawyer anytime soon, but if we do - I wouldn’t call anyone else.
I was in a messy situation recently and needed professional help. As someone with no experience in this field, I searched for the best assistance and came across Josh. All the reviews you read are true to the core. Josh patiently listened to my issue, suggested an action plan and helped me achieve an outstanding result in the court which is usually hard to achieve. I highly recommend Josh’s services and won’t look beyond him for help. Thank you.
I highly recommend Josh Smith. I was facing serious criminal charges due to wrong circumstance. Through the advice & recommendations of Josh, I took all the steps he asked of me. Josh was able to put across with great accuracy the reality of what had happened, reducing my charges and sentence to a no conviction. It was a great outcome and would not have happened without Josh & Shelley’s experience & professionalism.
