About Joshua
Joshua Reeves built his path to law in the Midwest. He took political science into the classroom at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and left with a Bachelor of Arts in 2010. He then moved on to Southern Illinois University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 2013.
After law school Reeves began practicing in Illinois. His career has been rooted in the state courts and regulatory systems that shape everyday legal problems for individuals and businesses. He has maintained active membership in professional legal organizations, participating in the networks and events that keep lawyers informed about changes to court rules and statutes.
Reeves’s work has been hands-on. He spent early years handling routine litigation and counsel matters, learning the rhythms of client work and the cadence of trial preparation. He has experience drafting pleadings and motions, conducting discovery, and managing case calendars. He has also advised clients on procedural matters and the practical effects of legal decisions. He applies practical judgment to weigh litigation risks against negotiated solutions.
Colleagues describe Reeves as steady in the courtroom and thorough in preparation. He approaches fact investigation carefully and builds records meant to support dispositive motions or settlement talks. He pays attention to the sort of detail that can matter in depositions and in front of judges. He is comfortable handling both contested hearings and negotiated resolutions.
Reeves practices at Olson & Reeves, Lawyers at Law. The firm’s name appears on filings and client correspondence. His office work includes client counseling, case management and court appearances across Illinois. He represents clients in state matters and handles the tasks that come with navigating local courts.
Outside of casework Reeves keeps current on Illinois law through continuing legal education and professional meetings. He balances courtroom responsibilities with the administrative side of law practice, such as file management and client communications. He currently practices at Olson & Reeves, Lawyers at Law, where his work concentrates on serving clients in Illinois state matters.
