I could not have been more fortunate than to have retained Joshua. He is highly experienced in the legal profession, takes the time to keep you informed, and deeply understands the importance of providing emotional support to his clients during what is often one of the most difficult times in their lives. Joshua once told me that he views his profession as one of "harm reduction," and I firmly believe he excels in that mission. He fights tirelessly for the best possible outcomes for his clients, giving them the opportunity to return to living healthy, happy lives. I was also lucky enough to observe Joshua collaborating with another attorney. He was respectful while offering fresh perspectives, constantly questioning whether there was a better plan or more that could be done. He is an invaluable asset to any team he joins.

I had a very serious accusation dropped on me suddenly, so I googled criminal defense lawyers. I spoke with several lawyers before speaking with Joshua Saunders, he quickly responded to my request and I was struck right away with his calm yet professional demeanor despite the fact that I was seriously emotionally stressed. I hired him right away because I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to handle an extremely stressful situation with class and poise. My family and I are so grateful that we decided to hire him as he acted quickly and decisively on my case there’s no doubt in my mind that he made the difference in what could have been an outcome that would’ve been devastating to my family and I. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable of this region and has vast network of professionals he knows that he can call for assistance if necessary. 100% I would fully recommend him and I am forever grateful to him and his firm.

I reached out to Joshua for consultation about a complicated personal situation. Joshua provided excellent support, coaching me through the legal issues and next steps. I had a very satisfactory outcome and would highly recommend Joshua to others seeking defense counsel.

Josh Saunders is the attorney you want when dealing with extremely vexatious and false litigations. Im wrapped in a hell of a family law motion with a very vexatious opposing party. He was able to immediately get on a call with me on a Sunday on a referral from another attorney and talked me through the next steps. Once i retained him he took the time to go over the entirety of the case. He knows when and how to work with investigators and prosecutors to provide the right amount of detail at different stages of the case. Example he was able to get on a call with the investigator as well as email threads with the prosectuor at the right time to provide the documents needed without overloading the detail. He is smart, efficient and knows how to prioritize aspects of a case and proper steps to mitigate the situation. He is always there when in an emergency as all aspects of criminal cases always feel like an emergency, He is transparent and guides you through the process, very open to questions and approaches he wishes to take and overall I feel like he always has my back. He also understands nuances of South East asian marriages and customs very well which is always an added bonus. Overall, definitely recommend him especially in clutch situations. He got my case dismissed at a critical juncture.

Josh and his firm were life savers for me and my family. When put in a desperate situation by gross State over reach, they did a good job of listening, believing, and then going into battle for me. I have had many legal situations in dealing with DCYS, and then the felony charges were brought against me. Josh did everything in his power, and more to make sure I received a fair and equitable trial. He does his research, is very prepared, and presented the case very clearly. My family and myself would highly recommend Josh for any criminal defense case you may have. If he is unable to take your case I am sure his firm would have another attorney which will serve you well. Even with the case dismissed he stayed in touched and aided with some other issues which he did not have to. If I could I would give Josh 10 stars.

Josh did a great job working with me on my case. He was immediately able to get up to speed when I retained him and proactively reached out to everyone involved to get the ball rolling in finding a resolution. He pieced together a game plan where we worked with all relevant parties - the investigators, the attorneys, and witnesses - that allowed us to sow together the facts and present them. He was well-versed in the entire process, from beginning to end, and understood the subtleties of what could be done and what couldn’t. It was good to know that you had someone in your corner who knew the intricacies of the system and had the skills to navigate that system. There are a lot of attorneys in our society. Josh’s knowledge and his work puts him at the apex of his profession. He’s a trusted steward with the skills to match.

All of the above ( and more ) is what I am receiving from my partnership in working with Josh Saunders from The Marshall Defense Firm. From my very first interactions with Josh, I knew I was in great hands as I felt he not only listened, but that he TRULY listened in a way that I knew I was being heard. The false accusations against me were devastating and turned my world upside down. It was Josh's steady hand, guidance and his trust and belief in me that helped right this ship and has gotten me through some pretty stormy moments. Josh didn't spin any fairy tales to make me feel better, but rather provided outstanding clarity as to the process that lay before us and did so with not only with his keen professional competence, but also with the utmost of compassion and a high degree of creativity in bringing to light subtle details that I had not even considered. As we interviewed with investigators, Josh always displayed the epitome of respect towards whomever he was addressing and I believe in doing so, has been able to gain a number of concessions that will strengthen our case as we move forward. And while my particular outcome still remains to be seen, I absolutely know that I am more than well cared for through all of Josh's stellar efforts on my behalf. I no longer wake up in the morning with this nightmare staring squarely at me and for this alone I am truly most grateful!

When you find yourself in a difficult legal situation, what you want is to find help, honesty and understanding for the process you are going through. All that and more comes from attorney Joshua Saunders of his law firm The Marshall Defense Firm, P.S. I highly recommend them.

I had the outmost respect to work with Josh Saunders on my case. He is a very attentive individual. He was available by phone it seems like 24/7 throughout the entire time he was representing me and beyond. Josh was very generous with his communication and made me feel comfortable to speak to him as he shares a great deal of empathy. Josh helped me understand my circumstance/resolutions every step of the way through his knowledge of the defense system. We were fortunate to to reach a very beneficial settlement!

Josh is a former colleague and one of the most skilled trial attorneys who I’ve watched. He is exceptionally prepared, organized, and his cross examinations are deadly. Judges respect him and juries love him, and he brings a needed human element to the courtroom. I highly recommend him for even the most challenging and complex case.

Without any reservation we would highly recommend Josh Saunders as a defense attorney. First and foremost he exhibited the highest character qualities and had the utmost integrity. We couldn't have asked for better representation to assist us through a very scary and confusing Title IX Grievance Process at a university. We are beyond relieved with the dismissal of the complaint as the accusation was untrue. There is no doubt in our mind that the positive outcome of this case was the direct result of representation from Josh and the Marshall Defense Firm. This was an extremely sad and isolating time for our family. Josh's kind and compassionate nature was ever present throughout this process and he provided a much needed lifeline for our family. We never could have imagined the twists and turns this case would take, but through it all, Josh was always incredibly responsive and remained on top of countless issues at all times. Josh is very knowledgeable and detail-oriented. He left no stone unturned, educating himself with the university's obscure procedures and thoroughly researching and identifying all possible avenues and outcomes before offering advice or recommendations. His honesty and straight-forwardness was reassuring. Throughout this process we always felt listened to and supported not only by Josh but also by David Marshall who consulted on our case and their Paralegal, Tracey. We are so incredibly grateful for all you have done on our behalf to resolve this matter. Please accept our deepest gratitude!

Joshua is an excellent lawyer. He took the time to understand the details of my case, and kept good communication going to all those involved. The petitions he created on my behalf were excellent, and quickly accepted by the court system! No only did Joshua keep my best interest in mind by watching all the details of the case, but he supported me with words and understanding. He made me feel like I had a friend on my side, committed to my best interest. His knowledge of law and procedures brought an ending to the case that was beyond what I had hoped for. His dedication and desire to serve make him an excellent attorney. I recommend him without reservations! Thank you Joshua!
