Due to the embarrassing circumstances, I was reluctant to publish anything having to do with this incident. Most of my friends and family aren't aware that this happened to me (until now, ;-/ ) because I've always been the "example" pillar of the community, professional, law abiding citizen, etc. On the other hand, I'm human, and prone to making decisions that aren't always the best. I'm sharing this review for two reasons. 1. Josh and Amanda are worth their weight in gold. They were both attentive to my questions and understanding of my circumstances. 2. I hope to relay to whoever is reading this, that "yes, it can happen to anyone." I'd imagine, if you're reading this, then you're already in a position where you need Josh's help. Hopefully, you and everyone that was with you is okay. In regards to getting through the rest from here, Josh and Amanda are the right decision at this point. I've gone my whole life without issue or incident. I'm not a hard partier, I'm a family man, and always discourage others from "drinking and driving." I thought I knew where my "threshold" was. I'm a pretty good size guy at 6' and 220lbs. I can have a couple glasses of wine at dinner and not be "inebriated." WRONG. That's what happened. I was at a friend's house for a holiday and had champagne with dinner. No tequila shots. No pre-gaming. I drank water and had a hearty dinner. Don't count on any of that. I wasn't even swerving "all over the road" or obviously erratic. Ironically, I was most definitely driving while distracted with my phone and playing music, finding songs, etc. THAT was enough to move me enough within the lane to cause the CHP behind me to stop and ask questions. That's it. That's all it took for me to have a need to call Josh. Josh was recommended by a friend of a friend who knew him personally. Could I have gone through the process on my own? Probably. Would I have gotten the same results? Absolutely not. I had too many concerns that I wasn't going to risk any more on my own. I have a couple commercial licenses that were at risk. I couldn't afford to put my livelihood on the line because I felt "the system" was unfair and I could beat it with my super intelligence and ego. I had to make some tough decisions. Attorneys are not inexpensive. I had to ask if I could afford it. Ultimately, the answer was always, "I can't afford to NOT hire Josh." You're in a bind. It's going to be expensive. Expect it. But, DON'T fool yourself into thinking you're going to save money by going it alone. I bit the bullet and sent Amanda and Josh everything they asked for. Then sat down with him so he could explain what the most reasonable outcome I could hope for. He talked about best case scenario, worst case scenario, probable scenario, and made no promises to any of them. That needs to be key to your understanding when you hire ANYONE though. Every circumstance is different. Yours is different than mine. Given my circumstances, I can attest that Josh was able to achieve the best possible outcome to save all of my licenses. Could we have contested the case and gone to trial? Sure. We might have even gotten a better outcome. Josh would have gone to bat and I have every confidence he would have prevailed. But, ultimately, Josh secured a great outcome without the additional delay and expense, and risk. I'm confident in that. I'm also confident that I'm making the right decision to recommend him to you, despite my public embarrassment. Best of luck to you! Stay safe.

The most stress relieving thing I ever did was hire Joshua Price after I got pulled over for a DUI. Not knowing much about the process of what happens after getting a DUI, he was able to guide me through everything and make it seem like a breeze. Josh was super accessible, from taking phone calls out of office hours to emails throughout the day, I knew that he truly cared about my case. I was charged for a first offense DUI and pulled over for drifting out of my lane, at the scene I blew a .09% and at the station I blew a .11%. Josh told me he had high hopes in winning the DMV hearing and he did! He also worked out a Wet and Reckless deal with the court for me which meant I had no license suspension. Besides his amazing help getting me through this unfortunate time in my life, Josh showed me respect, honesty, and he was very transparent about costs. He was able to set me up on a payment plan that was affordable for me and my family. He explained every step along the way and gave me several options to go about my case. Truly an amazing lawyer and he will fight for you!

I took lot of time to tailor this testimony to be as thorough as possible but within the character limits. DISCLAIMER: If you're looking for a DUI attorney who spends energy to say the things that you want to hear and dedicate time to placate your ego, then stop reading this and go find yourself a different law firm. If you need attention, there are plenty of expensive pretentious law firms out there. Josh even told me I don't have to leave any reviews if I'm concerned about privacy. If you want to work with a lawyer who is tenured in DUI cases, straightforward, dedicates all their bandwidth only on the DUI case to get you the best possible results, and not enable your "customer is always right" attitude, then look no further and hire Josh immediately. A year ago I drove in to DUI checkpoint and blew a 0.11 BAC in to a breath machine. I did the worst thing during panic and got lured in to the first law firm that showed up on Google. The lawyer I was assigned started right off the bat by convincing me that my best option would be a plea deal. They didn't even bother paying attention to the details of my case. They had no time to even meet with me in person. They right out believed I was guilty from the beginning. A few months later, I decided to fire the law firm and requested Josh to take over my case. Typically it's not a favorable situation for any attorney to take over from where a previous lawyer leaves off. But Josh was very practical and real but also nice enough to take the case over from the previous law firm. Unlike the previous attorney, Josh did not say nice things to lure me in, just to close the case soon. He was 0% BS right from the beginning and throughout our engagement. Both Josh and I agreed that it would be best to go through a jury trial instead of settling. I was aware that this was a straightforward and easy win case for the State against me. But we fought anyway even with slim odds. Josh is super focused and very passionate about his profession and dedicates 100% of himself to the case. He pulled many all nighters just to make sure I get the best possible defense. I would sometimes wake up to late night text messages from him asking for follow-up questions regarding the incident. He worked hard on presenting himself, myself and our case as best as possible to the jury(including giving me tips on how to dress up for trial). It's worth noting that all this was in a very narrow time crunch because I had immigration outcomes depending on the outcome of this case. During the jury trial, Josh presented his case so well that the jury took a 180 degree turn in their attitude towards not only my case, but on DUI offenses in general. It was more of an interesting 6 days seminar for everyone in the court room about how blood alcohol and breath machines work. The prosecution had that "So this is what it feels like to go against Joshua Price" look. Even the judge was extremely impressed with the defense that Josh put together. Overall Josh was the superhero of the courtroom and he is pure raw energy. I want to highlight the main factor- while I spent 14 months believing that I was really a criminal, and prosecution trying hard to prove that I was a criminal, the jury coming in with an attitude that I'm already guilty, Josh was the first person during this entire time to introduce me to the entire courtroom as a human being, a family man, and a respected member of the society. In the end, the prosecution unanimously voted "NOT GUILTY" on my case and it was DISMISSED. Please keep in mind that you're hiring attorneys to get the best possible defense. You can't pay for outcomes. Considering all this, Josh is certainly the best defense anyone can possibly get. I'm surprised he provides such a top quality service to lay people's cases for a reasonable price. I always believed that the best defense attorneys are reserved only for elites and VIPs only. But working with Josh, showed me how much he cares about the rights of common people. I can never be thankful enough to get to work with Josh.

Choosing Joshua Price as my DUI attorney was the best decision in my life...to be honest when I read other people say that about this attorney I scoffed and passed it off as a bunch of hyperbole. Now that I’m the one singing the praises of this attorney I have to share my experience. I initially chose Joshua Price simply because it really is hard to dismiss 74 five-star reviews on Yelp. I at least had to check out “the hype”. It’s no hype. This guy straight up told me that if charged, I was looking at a 95% chance of being convicted with a felony DUI and 4 years minimum in the state penitentiary. But instead of running and being worried about tarnishing his 5-star reputation he took my case. Fast forward 2 months and Mr Price’s expertise resulted in my charge being reduced to a misdemeanor and no jail time. He even got my 5 year probation reduced to 3 yrs. And my DUI involved an accident. His affordable rate felt even more affordable because he spread the payments out further than any other law firm I checked with. Don’t think twice about it ... check the guy out , listen to what he has to say. I did and because I did , against huge odds, I am a free man and most of all a very grateful man. Thanks Josh!!

Could not be more satisfied with the services received. Josh and Amanda gave fool proof instructions during the entirety of the case and were able to answer any and all questions due to their extensive knowledge of the law. Josh has perfected his craft during his stellar career and the results show in your favor. I hope I never need his services again however in the event that I do, I will not have an ounce of hesitation to contact him immediately. You get what you pay for and there's no better attorney than Josh. Joshua Price, you give hope back to the people who have made mistakes and you do not let said mistakes, define them. HIRE THIS MAN!
