Joshua Traver is a partner and trial attorney practicing in the areas of employment law, healthcare reimbursement law, and commercial litigation.
Josh defends businesses, insurance companies, and health systems in state and federal jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations. His standard approach is to focus on evidence that is likely to be admitted at trial or arbitration. In this way, Josh quickly identifies core issues and develops key evidence, and he is frequently able to avoid irrelevant discovery and unnecessary motion practice. Josh develops early rapport with key witnesses and stakeholders. For cases that are tried, Josh’s first-chair trial record is unblemished. More frequently, he is able to get dismissals, summary judgment, or advantageous settlements with minimized expense.
Josh also has substantial experience handling cases on appeal. He brings his depth of appellate experience to every matter he handles in the trial courts.
Josh began practicing at Cole Pedroza in 2007. He graduated cum laude, Order of the Coif, from Loyola Law School in 2003. He graduated cum laude from the University of California at San Diego in 2000.
Josh is a proud member of the Association of Southern California Defense Counsel (ASCDC) and the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California and Nevada (ADC). Josh serves on the Board of Managers of the North Valley Family YMCA.
