True North Legal Group, specifically Josh Traeger, singlehandedly saved my military career, and preserved my retirement. I never could have guessed I would require Mr. Traeger's services, but from first contact, I felt comfortable ceding control. My confidence in Josh grew throughout the duration ofhis representation; his sheer intellect, tenacity, empathy, and knowledge of military law astounds me. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to anyone requiring his services, and applaud his business sense, dogged tenacity, direct communication, strategic thinking, and mastery of both written and oral communication.

Mr. Traeger was very proactive and flexible from the beginning. He made sure he understood my case , and fought for the best possible outcome until the end, all while being flexible with financial means.

I was charged with a Court-Martial for the alleged use of a controlled substance -- the military wanted to kick me out but Mr. Joshua Traeger saved my military career and my life. The moment I began working with him I gained a lot of hope & confidence through his knowledge & professionalism. He is very passionate in defending his clients & cares much about us, speak to him & you will know. Hire him and he will get you where you want to be. I'm so grateful, thank you Mr. Traeger!

I was arrested for a high BAC driving under the influence charge and Mr. Traeger was able to get it down to a normal OWI charge. He was always very responsive, kind, honest, and supportive throughout the process. This has probably been the most difficult thing I have ever experienced and Mr. Traeger was extremely helpful and eased my stress throughout the journey. I am delighted with my choice to hire him as a lawyer as he always puts his client's needs first and prioritizes professionalism. He is someone that will get the job done, the right way. I genuinely do not have any criticisms of him or how he handled my case and I owe him a huge thanks for all of his help and support along the way.

Josh is not only passionate about his clients and seeking justice on their behalf, he is a proven winner! His attention to detail, legal acumen, and prior experience as a military judge advocate make him an ideal counsel for veterans. You want him in your corner when the stakes are highest! Truly exceptional!

Joshua Traeger was very attentive to the story lines to poke holes in the witnesses stories and did a great job defending me in court. The reason I titled it as the shark is because he has an innate ability to capture the jury's attention. He did this through attention to the jury as well as voice projection. He also did a great job coaching me on on what to do and what not to do during the proceedings.

I had charges against me that I thought was complete BS. I worked with ADCs and they promised me a lot of work that never got done and when the court date was around the corner suddenly changed stance and recommended I take the plea deal.. looking back I guess the plea deal was the smart answer but at the time I really wanted to fight it because I really didn't do it. So I looked around a lot of resources and ultimately hired Mr. Traeger as my attorney. He also recommended a plea but by that time the alleged victim pulled back the deal so now it was all or nothing. In court, Mr. Traeger was amazing. He is almost 2 meters tall and with his size and his attitude he owned the court. He made prosecutors stumble, made them look like amateurs, and his public speaking skills were top notch. I was very impressed and for the first time that the expensive rate he was charging was suddenly all worth it. Unfortunately my case did not get full acquittal but his performance really made me believe that I was going to walk away completely clean. He is charismatic. He is smart. He brought in points that I did not expect him to. I hope I never get into a situation again that requires a lawyer but if I do and if I have the money to, I would hire Mr. Traeger again. He will for sure amaze you. P.S. My first shirt was amazed by him as well.

Mr. Traeger was referred to my by a friend because I had been accused of committing a sexual assault. After a short consultation, I felt like Mr. Traeger was the perfect attorney to represent me with his background and experience. I've been on active duty as an officer for over 19 years, so my retirement was on the line, facing a potential dishonorable discharge. I thought Mr. Traeger was expensive, but since he seemed to be the most qualified attorney, I went with him and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. He was on top of it from day one, gathering significant evidence/info in my defense. He gave me the confidence I needing walking into my hearing. My hearing lasted 3 days and Mr. Traeger was dialed in the entire time!! He crushed everything that the opposing party tried to throw at us. In the end, I was selected to be retained and it was determined that I did not commit a sexual assualt. I would definitely hire Mr. Traeger again and I highly recommend him to anyone going through a similar situation.

Josh provided expert guidance that can only be given by someone with deep expertise and breadth of experience in the military justice system. Josh’s Air Force background and calculated confidence were his greatest attributes as my lawyer. He communicated with me clearly when I needed it most, and as we got closer to trial, he was excellent in handling all communications and processes independently, allowing me to focus on myself and my work towards my unit and the mission. Because of his experience, he was able to provide accurate timelines and critical decision points that provided clear expectations. He was willing to be brutally honest and direct to me as his client and was strategic and thoroughly prepared as my defense in the courtroom. He worked hard and provided me confidence during the most challenging and stressful time of my adult life. Although I hope no one has to share such experiences in the first place, if you are in need of legal defense, I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Josh Traeger. He’s the lawyer that you want in your corner if/when you go to trial.

Josh Traeger saved my career. I was facing separation from the Army after over ten years of service for allegations of misconduct. When I found Mr. Traeger I felt for the first time a sense of hope. He handled my case with compassion and professionalism. Mr. Traeger built an amazing case that highlighted to the board the my character and career and eloquently argued the allegations against me. He was able to show the board what I had been desperately trying to convey. I told him I wanted to fight and so he fought. Not only was I retained for duty, but all allegations of misconduct were determined to be unsubstantiated. I will always feel a deep gratitude for what he has done for me. If you are looking for someone to fight for you and win, hire Mr. Josh Traeger.

I'm a Senior Airman in the US Air Force. I hired Josh for completely fabricated sex assault crime and received a full acquittal. I was very skeptical because of the financial burden It put on me and my family. That being said, it is without a doubt the best investment of my life. Josh worked extremely hard both in and out of the courtroom bringing up new information on how things should be done not only to the government but to the judge. And what he did outside of the courtroom pales in comparison to what he did when court started. When the court martial started, it's obviously stressful beyond words. However, Josh was still willing to talk to me in between and give me honest opinions, along with his next moves to keep me not only informed but answer any questions I had. But that alone means nothing if he wasn't a great lawyer. He was amazing in every aspect. Josh came highly recommended by people in and out of the military. What Josh did in that courtroom was utterly amazing. He made the government prosecutors look extremely unprepared, ill-equipped and frankly incompetent. Josh's passion and knowledge within every aspect of the Court martial was astonishing to watch. In that courtroom it was blatantly obvious that one individual was miles ahead of the other and that individual was Josh Traeger. I hope that no one ever needs a lawyer for any reason. But if you do, I could not recommend Josh enough.

If you are reading this post, then yes, you need Josh Traeger in your corner. I am an E-7 with 21 years of honorable service and found myself being investigated by OSI/NCIS after being falsely accused of a sex crime. Once accused, the military legal teams will do whatever they can to try and find you guilty, and I was fearing that I was about to lose my retirement and VA benefits for life. After the investigation was complete, I was offered non-judicial punishment for violation of Article 120. My family and I were extremely stressed out. Yes, I had a great military defense attorney that was appointed to me, but they are completely over-tasked, and this was my life at stake. As soon as I brought Josh onto my team, I was immediately relieved. I feel like the legal team pumped their brakes once Josh reached out and informed them that he was now my lead defense counsel. We refused the NJP and demanded trial by court martial, but about two weeks later I received a Letter of Reprimand instead. The Reprimand contained verbiage that accused me of violating UCMJ Article 120, which would still initiate a discharge board. However, after Josh helped me with my response, the legal team decided to strike through that verbiage and I am now able to continue my service and retire honorably, on my own terms. This was obviously a very difficult time in my life, but Josh is excellent at what he does and was quickly able to bring me a sense of peace. He explained the process well, kept me updated, and ultimately got me the best-case scenario, given the circumstances. I highly recommend Josh Traeger! THANK YOU!
