PHOENIX, Ariz. and Santa Fe, NM (January 15, 2025) – Gallagher & Kennedy is pleased to announce that criminal defense attorney Joshua I. Fisher has been elected to shareholder effective January 13, 2025.
Joshua has focused his practice almost exclusively in the area of criminal law, trying more than 200 cases in state, federal, and military courts. He successfully handles charges involving DUI and vehicular crimes, complex felonies, fraud, white-collar crimes, sex crimes, and other criminal defense matters.

Joshua joined Gallagher & Kennedy in 2022 after more than 15 years working as a government prosecutor at the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office and the City of Phoenix.
At Yavapai County, Joshua led the drug interdiction unit, serving as a liaison between deputies and the County as “proactive prosecution.” He then moved into the general trial unit, where he handled complex felony offenses, including dangerous crimes against children, homicides, aggravated assaults, adult sex assaults, and white collar. While serving as a prosecutor for the City of Phoenix, Joshua earned a one-year assignment as a Special Assistant United States Attorney.
After earning his law degree from Arizona State University, Joshua served in the United States Army Reserve Judge Advocate General’s Corp for 10 years, stationed in Korea and based out of Texas as a reservist. While a JAG, he represented service members accused of misconduct and advocated for them during upgrading discharge procedures.
Joshua’s dedication to the practice of criminal law has earned him recognition by Best Lawyers in America® in 2024 and 2025, and he has provided expert commentary to ABC15 and AZ Family 3TV on criminal matters involving animal cruelty, capital murder, and related charges.
