Top-Notch Lawyer

Mr. Deckard is top-notch. He spoke with me at length, answered all my questions and explained every outcome possibility in detail. He always returns calls and even called me on a Saturday to let me know all charges were dropped. He also worked with me on a payment plan - he's worth every penny! Hi...s office staff is just as knowledgeable and kind. You don't find lawyers and staff like this every day. He and his staff made a difficult experience easy to work through.

Thank you very much, Joshua Dekard!

I hired Joshua Deckard when our neighbor who was harassing me and my husband and who I have been staying away for more that 2 years filed a false petition against me in the DV Division after she was caught on our security cameras and we had to call 911. After the hearing and Joshua Deckard's motion t...o dismiss the neighbor's petition for injunction with prejudices, the neighbor filed her Notice of Voluntary Dismissal withdrawing her allegations against me. I'm so thankful to Mr. Deckard for his prompt response, for his outstanding professionalism, for his ethics, and I extend my sincerest gratitude to his very well informed and knowledgeable staff members! Thank you very much!

Quick and fair results

Mr. Deckard helped me at a reaonable price and very quickly and efficiently. Working closely with him I could tell he wanted nothing more than my well-being. It was very stress relieving and made the whole process much easier. Hopefully I won't need another lawyer, but if I did I wouldn't go to anyon...e but Mr. Deckard. He cares for his clients like family.

Joshua Deckard is The Best

Josh Deckard has handled many legal matters for my family. He is always professional and caring as well. I'm grateful for the time and care he takes with everything,. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Deckard did the impossible!

When meeting Mr. Deckard the first time, he took the time to read over my documents and asked me questions that another lawyer didn't. He listened to my recollection of the event and then gave me different scenarios of what could happen. His own background and knowledge put me at ease, and I felt I... had made the best decision to have him as my lawyer. His staff kept me informed every step of the way, and I could call to ask questions any time. The outcome was a great success, he did what others didn't think possible.
