About Josh Wright

I\'m a focused individual that loves a challenge when it comes to case work. I enjoy finding ways to contribute to cases, be it in my area of expertise or out, I\'m always willing to research and help out in any way possible. I began my career in 2004 at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and served FDLE and the citizens of Florida for nine years in the Tallahassee and Pensacola regions. Starting in 2006, I became an analyst in the Firearm and Toolmark Identification section. During this time I gained a lot of experience and developed a keen eye for pattern matching using a comparison microscope. Today I use the experience and knowledge that I gained during my time with FDLE to consult counsel in criminal cases. I do this by using certified equipment to analyze evidence and give expert witness testimony. I have provided expert witness testimony approximately 31 times. You will find my services to be relevant, based on practical application and convenient as I am local to the Tallahassee area. I respect your time and through my expertise, professionalism, candor, and integrity I am certain I can be a valuable asset to you.
