Josh Gruenberg and Gruenberg Law are amazing! My wrongful termination case went very smooth and I was estatic when we won a very nice settlement. Thank you for all your hard work.

Josh Gruenberg was my Attorney in 2013. I could not have picked a smarter guy to represent me in my wrongful termination case. Josh and his staff were friendly and very approachable and the research done on my case was spot on. Needless to say, we won and I was very satisfied with the results of my settlement. Thank you Josh and Zack Tyson for all your hard work and dedication to my case!

I hired Josh to defend me in an employment case. I already had a severance offer from the company because they knew they had screwed up and clearly retaliated against me for a discrimination complaint. He told me that I had a strong case and promised he could get me more. I told him I could not afford to pay him and he agreed to take the case on contingency. I should have seen the signs early on that he was never fully engaged in my case because he never seemed to grasp the details or the timeline. He kept asking me the same questions over and over again and would forget the answers I gave him. He assigned a junior attorney to the case right after I signed the agreement who was overwhelmed and intimidated by opposing counsel. He started my complaint with an astronomical demand that would have obviously been rejected. He spent the first few weeks doing absolutely nothing. No depositions were scheduled, no subpoenas and very little discovery. Then I started hearing that my deposition was to be scheduled before any others. When I asked why opposing counsel seemed to be in the driver's seat I was told "that's usually the way it is". So 6 months went by and no progress. I was deposed in February and the other side had still not been deposed. Finally with my constant urging, depositions of my former employer were scheduled for May. But in March, Josh started calling me and telling me that because an innocent and innocuous error was discovered on my resume (that had no relevance to my being hired or not at the time), he could not continue my case until I deposited $10,000 in his trust account. I explained to him that their depositions were key to my case and the other side was clearly grasping at straws but he kept insisting that suddenly a case that was worth millions in his initial assessment was now "not winnable" and needed to be immediately settled. Even before a single deposition had been done to establish the facts of my case, he was telling me that he needed me to start paying him or settle for very little. He left me no choice but to allow him to settle my case for nothing as I couldn't afford to give him the money he was demanding in order to do his job and depose the defendant. In the end, I had to agree to let him settle for nothing. He then failed to even protect my interests and prevent the employer from taxing my settlement check at 50% tax rate. I received my final settlement with his cut taken out of it but also he charged me for every court filing and Uber transportation charge he incurred. When I look back at it, he took the case and promised me I had a strong case to jump in and see if he could get part of a quick settlement. When it looked like he would be spending more time that he bargained for actually defending and deposing, he backed away, put a financial gun to my head and did what was best for him ultimately, not what was best for me. He is in it for himself. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone and wish I had gone to a large reputable firm instead. Hind sight is 20/20 but I wrote this review to prevent someone else from making the same mistake of hiring Josh Gruenberg...

As a former client- I am nothing but dissatisfied with his overall conduct. Mr. Gruenberg will promise anything to hook you as a client and will never deliver. I wish I had hired someone else several years ago. Josh Gutenberg is rude and condescending and will not be bothered to take the time to answer questions or give explanations that are needed. He does not have a good reputation in the San Diego area and his skills and lack of talent is mocked by opposing council. He charges a hefty amount and then bills even more on top of that. He is not worth the money.

Mr. Gruenberg is the most excellent employment law attorney in San Diego.
