History of Joshua TreeInitially, the area was inhabited by the Cahuilla, Serrano, Chemehuevi, and Mojave tribes, who left behind petroglyphs and other artifacts. The region's modern history began with cattle ranching in the 19th century, followed by gold mining, which brought a wave of settlers. By the early 20th century, homesteaders arrived, drawn by the Small Tract Act of 1938. They built cabins and started small-scale farming, adapting to the harsh desert environment.
The establishment of Joshua Tree National Monument in 1936 (later redesignated as a National Park in 1994) marked a turning point, shifting the area's focus towards conservation and tourism. This led to a unique cultural blend, attracting artists, musicians, and nature enthusiasts drawn by the park's otherworldly landscapes and the town's eclectic, artistic community. Today, the Joshua Tree symbolizes desert preservation and artistic inspiration, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness.
Economy of Joshua TreeThe median value of a home in Joshua Tree is
$258,000, less than half of the state's median. As it is a small community, but at the same time a bit spread out, the mean travel time to work is 28 minutes. Any debtor looking to file bankruptcy needs to consider whether their car is paid for and possibly file a Reaffirmation Agreement if they qualify for Chapter 7 but need to keep their vehicle. The median household income is
$55,000, which is not surprisingly high considering how isolated Joshua Tree is. Joshua Tree has a poverty rate of over
22%, and the per capita income only comes in at
$31,000.

Palm Desert. It is out of my usual route, but we can always find a way to accommodate any client that wants to meet. If you want to visit our office, take the 62W down to the North Palm Springs area I-10E, which will easily get you to Palm Desert..

Ibegan a business relationship with the Law Office of Christopher Hewitt and dealt with Mr. Hewitt directly. I utilized his service in debt management and because of him i am debt free within 6 months!!! I cannot thank him enough for all the hard work he did and how effective he was with all my creditors. I definitely could not have been this successful with eradicating my debt if i had not employed Mr. Hewitt's services. I strongly recommend him and his Law Office to anyone looking for legal help. Thank you so much!!! Debra B.

The Law Office of Chris Hewitt was great at handling my debt settlement. I was able to speak directly with the attorney multiple times and he always knew what was going on with my accounts and gave me clear advise. I did not feel like he made any false promises and was very realistic about what the outcomes would be. At the end of the year I was able to pay off all my credit cards at less than 40% of what I owed at the time I hired him. I would highly recommend Chris Hewitt for any one who has debt issues and does not want to file for bankruptcy. Karen H.

Basically, if I could describe my experience with Chris Hewitt in three words they would be, professional, straight-forward, and helpful. Going into filing chapter 7 bankruptcy, I had no clue where to begin. Chris took me where I was at and guided me along a process that proved to be clearing financially and emotionally. Plus, I am quite certain nobody could have done it for a better price. I would recommend his service to anybody. Thank you. Dylan H.
