A combination of super sagaciousness and fantastic communication skills show Joshua is accomplished beyond his years! I see no obstacles in his path to becoming one of the country’s finest family lawyers.”

Not only did he efficiently navigate a complex case involving multiple jurisdictions and complex issues, he did so with a humanity and kindness that was unexpected and greatly appreciated at a difficult time in my life. If you are unfortunate enough to have to resolve legal matters in the Family Court, then you could do no better than to have Joshua Moger at your side.”

“Josh has quite simply freed me from the worst emotionally abusive marriage and given me a future I can be myself in and be excited about. His empathy and kindness have for sure saved me from a breakdown as he has always seen the bigger picture and guided me gently towards a happy new beginning. I will be eternally grateful to him.”
