Joshua D. Anderson
Registered in Bonney Lake, thirty-five miles south. His firm's site returns 403 Forbidden to us, so unlike every other listing in this batch nothing on it is checked here — only the WSBA record is. His register records Spanish, one of four on this page that fill that field in.
The bar record
We read Joshua D. Anderson in the Washington State Bar Association’s legal directory. Rows shaded below the line are the ones WSBA labels as coming from the lawyer, not from the Bar.
Washington never says “none”, so neither do we. The Disciplinary History section carries no entries and no statement — only a warning that in some cases discipline search results will not reveal all disciplinary action relating to a Washington licensed legal professional, and may not display links to the official decision documents. So what we can report is narrow: no disciplinary entries are displayed, and WSBA warns its search may not display everything. That is not the sentence “this lawyer has no discipline”, and we will not write the second when the register only supports the first. One listing in this city does display an entry — which is how we know the dash means what we say it means.
And the shaded rows might be wrong. Above that block WSBA states that the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date. Texas calls its equivalent “self-reported”. Washington says it might be wrong. Note also the Judicial Service line: asked whether this lawyer has ever served as a judge, the register answers Unknown. A register that will print its own ignorance is rarer than it should be.
What the record shows
His WSBA record lists Spanish under languages other than English. Four of the twenty-four lawyers on this page fill that field in: Anderson, Daniel Gerl, Preet Kode and Boris Davidovskiy.Verified
His single practice area on the register is Personal Injury — the narrowest possible answer, and one of only three in this batch that name one area and stop.Verified
jdandersonlaw.com returns 403 Forbidden to us, from curl and from a separate fetch, under two different browser user agents. We could not read a single page of it. Everything below this line is therefore his own account as supplied, not something we have seen on his site — and none of it carries a Verified tag.Verified
