Josh is a skilled and experienced litigator whose practice focuses on complex civil litigation and business disputes, including contract and business tort actions, business divorce, real estate and financial services litigation, and secured lending and preferred equity investment matters. He is especially adept at defending clients in consumer fraud individual and class actions, including claims for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, and the New Jersey Truth in Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act.

Josh has deep experience in all aspects of civil litigation, including first- and second-chair trial and arbitration experience. Josh has advocated for his clients at all levels of federal and state courts throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and across the country. He has also handled appeals before the Third Circuit, the Pennsylvania Superior Court, and the New Jersey Appellate Division and Supreme Court. 

A member of the firm’s labor & employment team, Josh frequently represents businesses and individuals in actions to enforce restrictive covenant agreements, discrimination claims brought under the full range of EEO statutes and state common law, including Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and the FMLA, and trade secrets litigation in state and federal courts. In his employment practice, Josh has both obtained and successfully opposed temporary and preliminary injunctions and has significant experience defending and advising clients in connection with wage and hour collective actions.   

Josh is also a member of the firm’s construction industry group. He regularly advises and represents owners and general contractors in a wide range of development and construction matters and litigation, including municipal construction, commercial, mixed-use and residential development projects, and mechanics’ lien and eminent domain actions.

Josh understands that no two clients or cases are the same. He prides himself on finding pragmatic solutions and crafting the right approach to put his clients in the best possible position based upon their unique business needs and goals. Sometimes the best results are not achieved in a courtroom. However, when a trial is required, Josh has tried and arbitrated numerous cases to verdict—successfully.
