A Central Florida native, Joshua Gilbert joined Payne Law, PLLC in 2021 and devotes his practice exclusively to representing policyholders in first-party property insurance disputes. Since beginning his legal career in 2017, Mr. Gilbert has focused on protecting homeowners, business owners, and community associations in coverage and payment disputes with their insurance carriers—pursuing efficient resolutions when possible and trying cases when necessary.
Mr. Gilbert has handled nearly every phase of a property-insurance matter, from early claim evaluation and negotiation through litigation, motion practice, and jury trial. He brings steady judgment, meticulous preparation, and clear communication to each case, aiming to secure the benefits his clients are owed under their policies.
Rooted in a family of small-business founders and community organizers—his family launched a non-profit outreach program—Mr. Gilbert’s work ethic and service mindset were forged early. Those values deepened in law school, where he interned with the City Attorney’s Office for the City of Kissimmee and participated in a legal clinic serving under-resourced clients. Today, he channels that same commitment at Payne Law, advocating tirelessly for fair outcomes and meaningful relief for the firm’s clients.
