Joshua Voelkel

Joshua Voelkel graduated from the University of Richmond in May 2019 and began working at a Richmond based personal injury law firm before opening Voelkel Law Firm in 2026. Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, Joshua grew up as a military brat. Relocating to five different states and attending seven different schools allowed him to encompass an impressive ability for adaption. Graduating from Christopher Newport University in 2016 with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Philosophy and Religion, Joshua decided to follow the long lineage of his family and attended the University of Richmond School of Law. “I’ve always wanted to enter a profession that afforded me the opportunity to help others,” Joshua says. Throughout his professional career Joshua has seen time and time again just how significant it is for attorneys to make himself available to his clients. “Always listen intently to what the client is telling you.” He says, “I was given the advice that a lot of great attorneys will miss crucial pieces of information to a case because they would rather tell the client what to do, rather than listen to their story.” Joshua appreciates the incredible impact maintaining contact can have in minimizing the trauma of a client’s experience.
