Meet Josh Branch

November 18, 2011

Joshua W. Branch, one of Silver & Archibald’s attorneys, focuses on personal injury trial work. He has been representing clients in the Athens area for more than five 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.  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.  Josh remains licensed in both Georgia and Florida to practice law.

Josh enjoys sports, politics and music in addition to his passion for law.  He spends his free time supporting local charities including the Muscular Dystrophy Association and serves on the Board of Directors for the Athens Area Humane Society.  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.  You can read more about People’s Law School in the next article on our Firm News page.
