About:

Our attorneys have the reputation to take on any criminal case, from misdemeanor to federal offenses. Brian's decision to become a criminal defense attorney was shaped by unique and personal hardship. His life has been and remains a testament to the pursuit of justice for those subjected to overzealous law enforcement. He firmly believes in the dignified respectful treatment of every person before the law. In his late teens, Brian was a victim of police brutality. This experience was the catalyst in his goal to defend the rights of others.

"I have not been happy with my experience. I get terrible communication from the lawyer and paralegal. They are not organized, they are falling behind in my case - not responding to requests from the court. If I could, I would have went somewhere else. Jennifer is terribly unprofessional."

"My experience with this law firm has been excellent. Specifically Madison Mackay and her paralegal Rebecca Hamilton. My process isn't finished but, so far everything has been extremely professional. I will write another review once my process is finished but, with my experience up until now, I would definitely recommend this law firm and attorney M. Mackay and her paralegal R. Hamilton. Update.......My case is finished and everything went extremely well!!! Paralegal R. Hamilton was outstanding. Any and every time I needed something, she was there. Highly recommend her and this law firm!!!!"

"Just wanted to share that I was well pleased with how I was handled by Joslyn Law firm. Rebecca kept me well informed of my process was very attentive to my personal situation more so than my legal situation. My lawyer, Madison did a outstanding job to resolve my legal situation and made it better for me to move forward in the personal situation in my life right now I appreciate both of them. God for bid, I need someone again, if I do nowI know where to go. I appreciate you both and thank you' Sincerely, Darryl Mason"

"My attorney was Ryan Shafer, he was extremely professional, and was able to get my charges dropped completely for a crime I did not commit.I was incredibly anxious he even offered to assist as much as he could “ethically” to speak to my job. 10/10 would chose this law firm, best decision I have ever made . I’m incredibly in debt to this law firm and forever grateful."
