“Never once doubted if I was in great hands”

Professional, prompt and personable. Josh is an outstanding attorney, he demonstrates great skill and understanding in his profession and great client communication. I never once doubted if I was in great hands or if I was being heard or given all the details. When I asked questions or to be explained in better detail Josh was always patient and willing to be sure I understood and was able to comprehend each step of the way. Highly recommended and highly satisfied.

“Very knowledgeable and attentive, responsive”

Absolutely grateful and mind blown on just the first consultation alone with the information Santana provided on my case, he was very knowledgeable and attentive, responsive he called back to check up many times. To me attorneys that are more compassionate about helping someone that doesn’t deserve a life changing penalty for a civil matter, care more than the billing (in it just for money) – are hard to find! It felt like he really wanted to help gave me and my family a peace of mind til court comes. They’ll be my Go to guy and Law firm team for any legal battles I hope don’t come in the future. But everyone and Neighbor’s are dial happy and boom DV cases in Arizona happen sometimes for just arguing loud. Again thank you Santana. (If you see this)
Hope to not need you guys in the future but will use you guys if needed.

“Operate with the utmost professionalism and integrity”

A few weeks ago, I found myself in a terrible situation. I reached out to my original representation and was severely let down and misled. I was incredibly fortunate to connect with Sandra Schutz and her team, which gave me renewed hope.
Sandra went above and beyond to correct the mistakes made by my previous attorneys, providing me with the highest level of support. Sandra Schutz and her team operate with the utmost professionalism and integrity. Seven days a week, at any time of day, I was well taken care of. Sandra and her team truly helped prove my innocence.
They also invested in me as a person. Sandra, Alexis, Santana—I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you all.

“Knows how to deal with the agencies coming for you”

Attorney Kolsrud and his associate Santana are the the most professional individuals I have dealt with inside the legal scope. If you find yourself with ANY firearm related legal issue do not hesitate to call and hear what they think is the best strategy. Almost all Criminal Defense Attorneys state they have some federal background that gives them an edge. One minute on the phone with Attorney Kolsrud and you will understand that he is the real deal. He not only knows the firearms law inside and out he knows how to deal with the agencies coming for you and your guns. If you find yourself at home with FBI/ATF or any other 3 letter agency on your doorstep. DO NOT ANSWER until you have Santana or Josh on the phone guiding you through that most difficult time.

“Thanks to Josh’s expertise and dedication, my case was dismissed”

I recently found myself in a bit of legal trouble and was fortunate enough to have Josh Kolsrud represent me. Josh is an exceptional lawyer and an even better person. From the very start, he was extremely responsive and reassuring, always just a phone call or text message away. He explained the entire legal process to me clearly and made sure I understood every step that was being taken.
Josh represented me at the Glendale City Court for a misdemeanor case. Even though I was not able to be present in court, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Josh is not just knowledgeable about the law, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. He took the time to get to know me and my situation and treated me with compassion and respect.
Thanks to Josh’s expertise and dedication, my case was dismissed. I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and support throughout the entire legal process. If you are ever in need of legal representation, I highly recommend Josh Kolsrud and Kolsrud Law Offices. He is an exceptional lawyer who will fight for your rights and go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome.

“I highly, highly recommend Josh Kolsrud and Kolsrud Law Offices.”

I was initially represented by a different law firm that I felt wasn’t doing enough for my case. After wasting time and money with someone else, I was anxious about how to proceed, especially with my freedom on the line. A friend highly recommended Josh Kolsrud. From our first conversation, Josh assured me of his strategy and approach as my lawyer. His clear plan of action immediately made me feel more confident in how he would handle my case.
What stood out most was how thoroughly he listened to me and addressed my concerns from the very start, right up to the morning of my final court hearing.
Despite being a victim of someone else’s lies and facing unfavorable odds, Josh handled each court appearance with skill and sensitivity. He was honest about what to expect and explained the process clearly, leaving no room for surprises. It wasn’t an easy journey, but I couldn’t have navigated it without his support and dedication to proving my side. I highly, highly recommend Josh Kolsrud and Kolsrud Law Offices.

“Tough minded, fair and willing to go the extra mile for his clients.”

Josh Kolsrud has been a wonderful attorney and a long time presence in the valley, from being at the MCAO and then transitioning to becoming the Attorney General in the Pacific island nation of Palau. He is tough minded, fair and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. I am proud to give him a 5 star rating and encourage anyone to retain his services. You will not be disappointed.
