His deep expertise in Construction Law and Litigation, highlighted by his recognition as one of the top lawyers in these areas, was evident from our first meeting. He carefully reviewed our contract claims and developed a strong legal strategy that helped us resolve the case favorably.

Joshua Holt is clearly experienced in construction law and litigation, as evidenced by his recognition from Best Lawyers. When handling my contract dispute, his legal strategies were well-founded and reflective of his background at Boston University School of Law. However, response times were occasionally slower than expected, and updates on case progress weren't as frequent as I’d hoped. Overall, competent representation but room for better client communication.

I worked with Joshua Holt on a complex construction dispute, and his knowledge of construction law was evident. He handled the case with a clear understanding of the legal nuances in the field. However, communication could have been more timely, and I often had to follow up for updates. While his expertise was undeniable, the overall experience felt a bit impersonal. The outcome was satisfactory, but the process left me wishing for smoother communication. For those seeking a recognized attorney in construction litigation, he’s competent, but be prepared for longer-than-ideal response times.

Holt’s recognition by Best Lawyers in these practice areas is well-deserved, as his knowledge of construction contracts and compliance is second to none.

Anthony Morales
Joshua E. Holt of Smith Currie Oles LLP provided exceptional legal counsel during a complex construction dispute. As a recognized expert in Construction Law and Litigation by Best Lawyers, his deep knowledge of contractual obligations and construction regulations proved invaluable. He demonstrated a meticulous approach to reviewing project documentation, which directly contributed to a favorable settlement. His ability to navigate both the legal and technical aspects of the case was particularly impressive. However, his response time to emails occasionally lagged, especially during high-demand periods. While the billing was transparent, the hourly rates were on the higher side, which could be a consideration for clients with budget constraints. Nevertheless, his expertise in resolving construction-related disputes and his strategic negotiation skills made the process significantly smoother. I would highly recommend him for any litigation or construction law needs, particularly in Virginia.
