Grateful to have found such an amazing attorney This review is long overdue. I was in need of an attorney in a pretty bad situation. I contacted many law offices and they all had the same behavior. They would put fear in me and try to have me sign the retainer on the spot. They really tried taking advantage of me. When I contacted Joshua mulligan not did he only calm me down and also gave me positive info. He stated that the worst case scenarios that I’ve been given is not realistic. I was not pressured into signing and we had a conversation like a friend. He went above and beyond on my case and got me the best possible out come. I’m a true advocate for this law firm. Don’t hesitate to contact him when in need.

Knowledgeable and Responsive Great Experience While no one wishes to be found in a criminal law case, Mr. Mulligan has to be one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest and communicative attorney's I could have asked for. Everything with my criminal case was handled professionally and in a timely manner, with results I couldn't be more pleased with. After fearing the unknown of my charges and throughout the entire process Mr. Muligan stayed focused and made sure to keep me calm, assuring me the reality of the charges wouldn't be as extreme and he fought and made that happen. I am blessed to say the least and thankful for the final outcome in court. I would recommend him or his wife for any criminal issues anyone may have that need the most honest and best results in court.

Biography

Josh is a graduate of Cornell Law School, an Ivy League institution and one of the top 10 law schools in the country. At Cornell, Josh was a general editor of the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy, and published a law journal article.

Josh knew early in his law school career that his passion was in criminal law, defending individuals who had made a mistake and were now facing punishment in one of the harshest and most punitive criminal justice systems in the world. Josh externed for a judge in New York and experienced firsthand the inner workings of judicial decision making in a criminal courtroom. In that position, Josh provided the judge input about judicial decisions and drafted written opinions for the court. During law school, Josh also worked part-time for a criminal defense attorney, doing research on a death penalty case and writing the appellate brief in a murder case. Josh relocated his third year to work full-time in the motion and research department of the Alameda County Public Defender Office, which is widely considered to be the most prestigious motions unit of any public defender office in California.

Josh practiced criminal law as a public defender for almost 9 years, including 6 ½ years at the Public Defender Office in Indio. Josh has shown his vigor and ability as a trial attorney, taking over 20 misdemeanor and 40 felony cases to trial.

Josh's thorough and smart approach to cases also helped his clients get amazing results in plea-bargaining. Josh recently persuaded prosecutors to accept pleas to manslaughter in two separate homicide cases, a rare success in Riverside County.

No attorney can guarantee results, but the Wilkerson & Mulligan Law Firm can guarantee fair dealing, personal service, and a smart and strong defense. We fight hard to get the best possible result for every client.
