Josh Crowley focuses his practice on the real estate and business litigation, representing individuals and businesses in courtrooms in every corner of Texas.

Throughout his career, Josh has litigated a variety of matters in state and federal courts, dedicated to delivering results for his clients from pre-suit investigation through jury verdict. Josh represents and advises individuals and small businesses on a broad range of legal issues, including real estate development, the purchase and sale of real estate, property owner associations, defective construction claims, and deceptive trade practices. In addition, after a decade of experience and participation with local and state-wide organizations dedicated to the representation of injured individuals, he also represents select clients in personal injury cases.
