Lincoln – September 9, 2025 – Onward Injury Law is proud to announce that its Founder and Managing Attorney, Josh Rohrscheib, has been named to the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.

“Josh is one of the most dedicated and kind-hearted attorneys I’ve had the pleasure to work with,” said Drew Hickey of Bolen Robinson & Ellis, LLP. “As his friend and law partner for many years, I have witnessed him lead with empathy, listen before he speaks, and work relentlessly to get justice for his clients. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-earned and no surprise.”
