Joshua H. Watson

About

Image of Josh WatsonI have been an attorney helping individuals harmed by governments, corporations, and those more powerful since 2005. In that time, I have had the privilege to help clients harmed by abuse of power in many forms ranging from discrimination to theft of wages to gross corporate negligence. 

I received my law degree from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings) in 2005, and graduated in the top 25% of my class. I earned a special certificate in Public Interest Law and received numerous academic awards. I am graduate of the Orange County Bar Association Trial School, and have lectured to other lawyers on trial practice. I have had the pleasure to take civil and criminal cases to trial throughout California in state and federal courts.

Before law school, I helped run a web technology firm and received my Bachelor’s from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

I have offices in San Francisco and Sacramento. I handle cases throughout the state and nation.
