I was very apprehensive about contacting a lawyer for my workmen’s comp. claim. I’ve never had any good experience in the lawyer department. But thanks to Joshua Turim, I have new found gratitude! To say he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. Anytime I contacted him, he answered me lightning fast. Even though my claim wasn’t a huge amount, he still went out of his way to get me what I deserved. If anyone you know needs a great lawyer, Josh and his firm is the place to call!!

He settled my case after many months of preparation and ultimate negotiation, keeping me informed along the way. He knew what I expected for an outcome, and explained every detail in laymen’s terms. Josh took all the time necessary to explain the process. I never felt like I didn’t understand. I recommend Josh to anyone looking to resolve a workers’ compensation claim without additional strain.

I found him from the Yellow Pages and after consulting with several other of his peers I hired Josh. The fit was right. He’s been my counsel for nearly 5 years now. My case was not an easy one. Workers’ Comp moves slow and methodical. Believe me, I’m thankful I had a professional who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system on my side. We’ve reached a very good settlement and I know I can continue to count on Joshua Turim should any need arise.
Thanks Josh.
