About Joshua Conaway

Joshua Conaway is a partner at Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway, P.C., where he has practiced since 2011. With 23 years of legal experience, Josh is a graduate of the University of New Mexico (2000) and Gonzaga University School of Law (2003, with honors). He began his career on the defense side before switching in 2009 to represent plaintiffs. In his first decade as a plaintiff's attorney, Josh secured major settlements for clients who suffered wrongful death, spinal cord injuries, and catastrophic burns caused by corporate negligence.

Since 2018, his practice has focused on representing children who were sexually abused in foster care, residential treatment centers, and schools. In 2023, Josh served as lead trial counsel in G.S. v. Acadia Healthcare, in which a jury awarded $485 million to an 8-year-old girl who was repeatedly raped by her foster father -- the largest personal injury verdict in New Mexico history. Those related matters ultimately resolved for $400 million in total settlements. Licensed in Texas and New Mexico.
