Justice


Accountability

For the past fifteen years, attorney Joshua S. Moskovitz has led groundbreaking civil rights and catastrophic injury cases in New York and New Jersey.

Josh has unparalleled success representing clients in cases of wrongful death, excessive force, unconstitutional prison and jail conditions, false arrest and wrongful convictions, and employment discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower claims.

Josh won a record-setting settlement for protesters injured in the Bronx during the racial justice demonstrations following the murder of George Floyd. The settlement stands as the highest per-person settlement in a mass arrest class action lawsuit.

In 2023, Josh won a $9.25 million verdict for the family of Terry Cooper, who was killed by state corrections officers. This remains the largest civil rights verdict in the Northern District of New York.

Josh was also instrumental in representing the family of Eric Garner, who was killed by an NYPD officer with the use of a banned chokehold. Josh’s work helped to secure the largest wrongful death settlement with the City of New York at the time.

For the past ten years in a row, Super Lawyers has named Josh a Rising Star and Top Rated Civil Rights Attorney in the New York Metro area.
