I am so grateful! Thank you Joshua Deckard!

My daughter's criminal felony case was complicated and could have many outcomes. Mr. Deckard worked very diligently to get the best possible outcome (although hard to obtain). His knowledge of law, extensive experience, fairness, hard work and most importantly his compassionate and caring character m...ade all the difference. Mr. Deckard is very good human being. There are not enough words to say Thank you! Top-Notch Attorney! Highly recommend!

Great Attorney & Great Person

Joshua always went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions were answered and always explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. I am VERY pleased with the outcome of my case. His office staff is always very welcoming and helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

Do your research

My family member was held in another state waiting to be extradition to Fl. Called Mr. Deckard and he sound caring enough so l hired him as my attorney. I didn't have the full amont for minimum amount so he gave me an account to deposit funds. He told me nothing can be done about my wife until Fl. au...thorities pick her up and return her to Fl. Two thirds of the retainer fee l made in a week. Three weeks later my love one was still in jail in a different state and Old Josh was on a 30 day vacation. I became suspicious about his advice so I spoke with a criminal attorney who petitioned the court and my family member was returned to Fl. and bailed out within 24 hours. Josh did nothing but lie to me and took my money witch l assume paid for his 30 day vacation. Stay away from this guy and get a competent criminal attorney.

Review of Mr Deckard you must read!

There aren't enough words to describe This Man & His caring staff. Mr Deckard is a 1 in a million attorney. When he took my case he was sincere,caring, and having more experience then almost every attorney around he treated me equally, and used his unbelievable law experience to save my life. He & Ka...te & his talented staff always answered my questions. IF YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY LOOK NO FURTHER. I was truly blessed to have found him and I will forever love this person both as a attorney and a human being.
