Josh
Furman
PRESIDENT
Josh comes to AJF with more than seven years of experience in federal litigation where he focused on advertising law and First Amendment issues. Josh earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management and his Juris Doctor from the James E. Rogers College of Law. During his career in private legal practice, Josh advised clients on matters ranging from multi-million-dollar business disputes to the prosecution of a private civil suit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act).
Josh is thrilled to officially join the AJF team. We say officially because Josh is the “J” in AJF and has been offering his advice in the background since he was young. Josh is so proud of the success of his family’s business and looks forward to helping to build on AJF’s strong foundation. He believes that AJF plays a critical part in providing peace of mind to new home buyers and those purchasing commercial properties and hopes to leverage his prior experience to help the AJF team impact even more lives.
When Josh is not working, he spends time with his wife and son, their family, and particularly enjoys playing with his eight nieces and nephews. Josh is an avid Arizona Cardinals fan and attends nearly every home game with his father, Paul.
