About Josh

Josh is a trial lawyer who represents workers and families in plant explosions, oilfield and pipeline incidents, and catastrophic trucking crashes. Before becoming a lawyer, Josh earned a degree in Construction Engineering from Louisiana Tech and worked in the oilfield, where he also held a CDL. That hands-on experience taught him the rules of the road, DOT safety requirements, and the real-world pressures oilfield and trucking crews face every day. Josh’s engineering and CDL background give him a rare technical edge in the courtroom. He understands how equipment fails, how safety systems break down, and how preventable choices lead to disaster. He’s secured more than $60 million in verdicts for clients. Known for his straight talk and relentless preparation, Josh focuses on uncovering contradictions in testimony, exposing safety violations, and telling clear, powerful stories that resonate with juries. His work centers on enforcing the safety rules that protect working people and holding corporations accountable when they’re ignored. Licensed in Louisiana and Texas, Josh tries cases throughout the region and nationwide. His cases often involve violations of OSHA, FMCSA, and industry safety standards. Josh’s mission is simple: protect people by making safety matter again.
