Josh Sherman
Associate
Good lawyering is about more than just analytical skills and knowledge of the law. I strive to understand my clients’ goals in litigation and represent them accordingly—whether that requires reaching a settlement before a lawsuit is filed, taking a case to trial and exhausting all appeals, or anything else in between.
Josh Sherman represents individuals and businesses in various industries in litigation, arbitration, and investigations. As a litigator, Josh advocates for clients at the trial and appellate levels, on both the plaintiff and defense side, in state and federal court.
