Felony Case Dismissed!

Mr. Deckard is by far the best attorney out there! Mr. Deckard was able to get my felony case dismissed completely! He is a hard worker, professional, kind, honest, respectful and he knows the law! He and his staff not only helped me with the criminal matter they also helped me through this emotional...ly! I will ALWAYS recommend Mr. Deckard to anyone who is in need of an attorney!

Much respect to Mr.Deckard and his amazing staff. When half the world felt I was guilty, Mr.Deckard knew I was innocent. Got my case dismissed in less than 2 weeks. The man knows his law. At the same time he knows what to say and how to say to that prosecutor. I would recommend this man 10×s more. If... you know your innocent and yo u can prove it to this man and his staff. They will see you thru. If he asked who sent you. Tell him Mr.Norris sent you....

Mr. Deckard is a miracle worker

Mr. Deckard has represented my son on three separate occasions, and every time we received a lenient verdict, the last one was for multiple felonies, and still Mr. Deckard was able to have the charges dismissed, with some jail time and probation, Mr. Deckard is a miracle worker, and I would not hesit...ate to hire him again. Mr. Deckard is a lawyer who truly cares about his clients, he always calls to ask about our son, and always says he is there for us, for any problem. I had hired another lawyer years before I heard of Mr. Deckard, and it was not a comfortable experience, the other lawyer was cold and didn't care about us, the way Mr. Deckard does. Before hiring another Attorney, speak with Mr. Deckard before you decide, you will be glad you did!

Treasure Coast's Best Trial Attorney

Over the past decade I've had the opportunity to observe Mr. Deckard fighting for justice on behalf of those accused of committing crimes, many falsely accused. It is good to see that in this age of plea bargains that there is still a real trial lawyer who is not afraid to fight for justice. I reco...mmend Mr. Deckard and his firm without reservation.

Mr. Deckard was proficient in persuading the county judge to withhold adjudication and spare me the burden of being a convicted

I was charged with two first-degree felonies for possession and selling drugs, and facing a mandatory -three year prison sentence. Mr. Joshua Deckard came highly recommended to us by a family member. I was blessed to have Mr. Deckard represent me. My family and I were tremendously satisfied with... the way Mr. Deckard handled the whole process. Mr. Deckard was extremely professional and accommodating. I was truly very blessed with the final outcome Mr. Deckard was able to archive for us. Mr. Deckard negotiated a lesser sentence with the prosecutors to just one year in county jail. By researching past similar cases Mr. Deckard was proficient in persuading the county judge to withhold adjudication and spare me the burden of being a convicted felon. We definitely would refer Mr. Deckard to our family, friends or anyone in need of a good criminal defense attorney.
