About Josh:
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, Josh recovered in excess of $30,000,000 for his clients by implementing an innovative legal theory that pinned liability on title insurers for mortgage losses suffered by banks and government-sponsored entities. He is one of only a handful of attorneys in Florida that stridently advocates securing this type of recovery from title insurers on such claims. He was also recently inducted into the University of Miami’s Citizens Board – a prestigious board comprised of more than 270 business, professional and civic leaders who support the university’s programs and philanthropic efforts – as a member of the Class of 2019.
