Joshua W. Branch focuses on personal injury trial work. He has been representing clients in the Athens and Atlanta area for more than 20 years.
Josh’s interest in law began at the early age of 16 when he began working in a law firm as a high school student. Attending depositions and being inundated with the legal profession at an early age and with an inherent ability to argue succinctly, it was known by many that Josh would become a lawyer from an early age.
Growing up around medical doctors has also proved advantageous for Josh in his legal practice, in that he has learned and become familiar with a person’s physiology, which is continually being applied to his practice of personal injury law in Athens.
He attended undergraduate school at the University of Georgia and went to law school at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida.
Josh began his legal career in Pensacola, Florida working at an insurance defense firm, though his passion was always to help individuals rather than corporations. After enduring Hurricane Ivan, he was forced to move from Pensacola and eventually relocated to Athens, Georgia where he is devoted exclusively to pursuing justice for plaintiffs. Dedication to the injured individual’s plight remains his devoted pursuit.
Joshua W. Branch has achieved an AV® Preeminent™ Rating from Martindale-Hubbell®.
The AV® Preeminent™ rating is the highest possible rating for an attorney for both ethical standards and legal ability. This rating represents the pinnacle of professional excellence. It is achieved only after an attorney has been reviewed and recommended by their peers – members of the bar and the judiciary.
For more than 130 years, lawyers have relied on the AV® Preeminent™ rating while searching for their own expert attorneys. Now anyone can depend on this important, trusted rating.
Josh spends his free time supporting local charities including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Northeast Georgia Foodbank and serves on the Board of Directors for the Athens Area Habitat for Humanity. As a way to tie together his career and giving back to the community, Josh serves as the chairman of People’s Law School, a free community program designed to increase awareness and education of basic legal issues.
