Video production for law firms.
Tell the story with care.
Experience inside a law firm.
A film can help someone understand the people behind a law firm, the work it does in the community, or how an injury has changed a client's life. Each starts with a clear purpose and time to listen.
I'm Josh Nagel, a director and cinematographer based in the Toledo area. From 2012 to 2020, I worked at Charles Boyk Law Offices, starting in graphic design and growing into photography, video production, and legal marketing. That work included attorney profiles, client education, Bikes for Kids community stories, and client-impact films used in mediation.
Today, I bring that experience together with my commercial and documentary work to help law firms tell those stories.

Client-impact and mediation films.
These films show how an injury or loss has changed someone's life: what daily life looked like before, what changed, and how a family is living with it. The work can include interviews with a client and family members, footage of everyday life, and relevant photographs or other materials supplied for the project.
We start with the handling attorney to understand the case, the people involved, the audience, and the deadline. Then we plan the interviews and filming, with time for people to speak in their own words and attorney review built into the edit.
Attorney profiles and firm stories.
Help prospective clients get to know the people they may be trusting with a difficult part of their lives. An attorney profile or firm film can explain why you do this work, how you approach it, and what someone can expect when they contact you.
Client education and community films.
Educational videos can answer recurring questions in plain language. Community films can show the people behind a program and why it matters. During my time at Boyk, I helped develop and tell the stories of its Bikes for Kids program and produced material for local television news.
How we plan it.
I lead the creative work and bring in crew as the project needs it. We agree on interviews, locations, deliverables, review rounds, and a schedule before production. I can work alongside your firm's marketing team or plan a standalone film with the attorney handling the project.
Based in the Toledo area, I work with firms locally and travel for production.
