He has significant experience in litigation, healthcare regulation, administrative and appellate law. Josh regularly represents corporations, healthcare providers, hospitals, physician practice groups, and individuals in courts of law and before various administrative agencies. He also has extensive experience in matters involving state and local governments, including serving as co-lead counsel in litigation brought by the United States Department of Justice against the State of Georgia for conditions in Georgia's psychiatric hospitals.

Before joining Robbins Firm, Josh served as the Executive Counsel to Governor Sonny Perdue of the State of Georgia, the chief legal advisor to the Governor.

Josh earlier served as the Legal Counsel to the Georgia House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary, where he participated in, among other legislative matters, the revamping of Georgia's eminent domain laws.

Josh has written several articles on the peer review privilege, medical malpractice reform, campaign finance and procedural issues in litigation. He has also been a guest speaker addressing the Majority Caucus of the Georgia State Senate, the Georgia Hospital Association, HomeTown Health, the Medical Association of Georgia, the Georgia Orthopedic Society, the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators and Republican Leadership for Georgia.

Josh remains active in the community.
