Josh Worley was born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1977. He grew up in Roswell in a house with his parents, Mike and Pam Worley, and his only brother Jeremy. He attended elementary school at Gateway Christian School where he was one of the original students at the private, Christian school that has recently celebrated its 43rd anniversary.

His junior year, he kicked the winning field goal in the state championship game to help defeat Clovis High. His senior year at Goddard he was selected first team all-state quarterback. Unfortunately football his senior year was cut short when he broke his femur in an early round of the playoffs. He recovered in time to play baseball in the spring of his senior year, later being selected to play in the North/South All-Star game as a third baseman. Despite many accomplishments in organized sports, some of his fondest memories of sports growing up include unofficial games created in his back-yard with his brother.
Upon high school graduation, Josh accomplished a lifelong dream of attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he met his wife Brandy. He graduated in 1999 with a bachelors degree in business. Following graduation, he worked for Baylor University in the Development Office before attending law school at Baylor. He and Brandy were married in July 2000 in her hometown of Houston, Texas.

He graduated from Baylor Law School in 2002 after successfully finishing the nationally recognized Practice Court program. Josh continues to be a huge supporter of all things Baylor, most recently attending his 39th straight Baylor Homecoming.
Following graduation from law school, Josh and Brandy moved to Roswell. He started his legal career on January 1, 2003, where he began practicing law in southeastern New Mexico. From his first day as an attorney, he worked hard to learn and establish a Social Security disability legal practice for his firm when there was previously none. His early success in the areas of Social Security Disability and Personal Injury led to a partnership after just five years.
In September 2017, Josh left the partnership along with his brother Jeremy to establish The Injury and Disability Law Center.

With a newly renovated office building in downtown Roswell, Josh and Jeremy enjoy being actively involved in community events.

Their desire is to provide a custom legal solution for each of their clients and provide service that cannot be matched by anyone.
