"Attorney Joshua Weishaar is a legal powerhouse! I can confidently say this based on his exceptional service, remarkable performance, and attention to fine detail throughout my criminal traffic case. I am incredibly grateful for his unwavering professionalism and the favorable outcome he secured, which left me speechless. Thanks to Attorney Weishaar and his expertise, he was able to prove the case was brought against me through an unlawful traffic stop, ultimately resulting in the entire case being dismissed. If you're seeking a highly skilled and dedicated attorney who will fight tirelessly for your rights, Attorney Weishaar at Stroud Willink & Howard, is the one to call. I can't recommend him enough! I can’t forget to mention the outstanding customer service given by many other individuals within the firm. Thank you again Joshua, being a client of yours has been an absolute pleasure!"
