As supported by peer honors, including multiple-time selection as a Rising Start by Louisiana Super Lawyers Magazine, Joshua has developed a reputation as one of the top defense attorneys working in the State of Louisiana. He has represented most of the major domestic insurance companies and the Llyod’s Underwriting Syndicate. Unlike most attorneys currently working for insurance carriers, Joshua has been first-chair for multiple major trials, and he has no qualms about trying cases that need to be tried. In recent years, his focus has been on representing clients involved in either complex claims or excess litigation. He prides himself on being client-focused, always seeking the best possible outcome whether that be early resolution, litigation, or even appellate practice.
