About

Joshua John Basile, Esq., is a seasoned personal injury attorney based in Washington, DC, and the founder of the Law Offices of Joshua John Basile. His journey into law is deeply personal, having experienced a life-altering spinal cord injury in 2004 that resulted in permanent paralysis. This profound experience drives Mr. Basile to advocate fiercely for catastrophically injured individuals, understanding their challenges and the critical need for enhanced quality of life. Graduating magna cum laude from law school, Mr. Basile quickly made his mark in the legal field. He began his career as an associate at Jack H. Olender & Associates, where his empathetic approach and commitment to client advocacy have enriched the firm’s diverse legal team. His extensive legal background includes invaluable courtroom experience gained during a judicial internship with the Honorable Ellen Huvelle in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and a clerkship at Ashcraft & Gerel LLP, a prominent personal injury law firm. Furthermore, his work with Senator Tom Harkin on the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee provided him with critical insights into policy-making that impacts personal injury law. Outside the courtroom, Mr. Basile actively contributes to the spinal cord injury community. He is the founder and president of the Determined2heal Foundation Inc., which assists families navigating life with paralysis. Additionally, he co-founded SPINALpedia, an innovative online platform that connects individuals with mentors and resources tailored to spinal cord injuries. His entrepreneurial spirit extends to the sports arena, where he holds a patent for a golf device designed for individuals with physical limitations, allowing them to enjoy golf alongside able-bodied players in the sport he created, Slingshot Golf. Joshua John Basile's unique perspective as both a lawyer and a survivor empowers him to advocate effectively for those facing similar challenges, making him a formidable ally in the realm of personal injury law.
