I had several meetings with other immigration attorneys regarding my application for citizenship. None of them answered my questions but Mr. Deere did. He was very helpful. He also provided expert testimony in court at the request of another attorney who was helping me to set aside a plea in a criminal case that I had entered into several years ago in violation of my right to effective assistance of counsel. I was able to set aside my plea and got all charges dismissed thanks to Mr. Deere. He really knows immigration law. I highly recommend his services. My family and I pray for him and his family and wish them health , blessing, and peace .

Honest, open and amazingly productive lawyer
Mr. Deere was so great to work with. He offered honest feedback to my case and helped me explore my options with great openness. He wasn't trying to just make money, he was trying to help me find what works best for me and my family. In the end Mr Deere recommended that we go a different route than we had thought and that worked out fantastically for my family. For someone with little exposure to the legal world, Mr. Deere was a great first contact to help us as a legal consultant to our family challenges!

Excellent!
I contacted 4, yes 4 other lawyers on a very time sensitive immigration issue. Not only did I get to speak to him, he was the ONLY lawyer that could solve my issue. I am not the reviewing type however I could not resist. Joshua was not just acting like a lawyer but someone who actually took the time to make me feel my needs were his priority. Take it from someone who has spoken with the others, call Joshua first!!

Excellent work, affordable rate, readily accessible
I had a very complex and frankly somewhat frightening case. I needed someone who could communicate regularly, work things in a rigorous fashion, and not break the bank. Josh Deere accomplished all of those in spades. Ultimately he defended me in a manner that not only protected me, but also my family. He had an approachable demeanor with me, but was aggressive and persuasive against the opposing counsel. I strongly recommend him for personal defense concerns!

Focused and Articulate
A few years ago, I hired Josh Deere to assist me in a real estate conflict. He was tasked with convincing an individual to sign a quit claim deed. The initial consultation was thorough, and he remained completely focused on obtaining information to articulate an effective argument. Josh wrote a concise, well-crafted letter to the individual. The letter was long enough to make a compelling argument, but brief and to the point. We never had to visit a courtroom. The letter was enough to obtain our goal. Josh Deere is sharp, focused, and effective in his profession.

Profesionnal, knowleagable and outstanding services
I decided to choose Josh as my lawyer to help me through my green card application. Having him throughout the entire process made things so much easier & helpful for us. He took care of all the paperwork forms and always explained everything in a very professional yet personalized manner so we would understand each steps and would be kept informed of everything. He was always available to answer and reassure us on any concerns we had. He went to the interview with us even while on a busy schedule. I just received my green card in the mail 2 days ago and I can only say great things about him - he made the process stress free knowing he was there for us should something go wrong. I recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer. It is a smaller firm but that is exactly why you will get a better & more personalized service. His prices were very reasonable & the first consultation with him makes you see he really cares unlike many other lawyers out there. Avvo is where I first contacted lawyers to inquire help about my immigration process & among all the lawyers, Josh was the first one to answer genuinely caring about my personal situation and not just bringing up the fees for his services. This is critical to have a lawyer who goes beyond the $$$ factor & makes each case unique & personalized. Mr. Deere knows that and that is what makes him the great lawyer he is. If you want a professional lawyer who listens to you and cares - go with Josh.

George's review for injury claim
Excellent attorney. He is fair in his fees and he got me the results I wanted in the allotted time. Can't speak enough about his honor and integrity. I will render his services, in the future, if I need to have more legal issues resolved.

Great lawyer!
Very friendly and detailed. He took care of my case in a very professional manner. I would recommend Josh to everyone that needs his help. Also helped that he's bilingual and was able to speak with my family in Spanish. He will be the first one I call if I'm ever in need of his services.

Josh is a great lawyer!
I went to Josh Deere for my application to become a citizen. I have a criminal record and felt that it would be better to have a lawyer than try to do everything on my own. Josh and his staff got all the information from me and filled out the application. I met with him to make sure that I had all the necessary documents and he sent everything in for me. I chose not to have him with me at the interview, but he was with me every step of the way before and after. He made me feel very comfortable through the entire process. I highly recommend him and would use his services again in the future.

Immigration attorney to hire
Josh is very knowledgeable, professional. I have had attorneys in the past so I can accurately review him based upon my experience. He answered all our questions thoroughly and made sure we had no lingering questions to explain and prepped us for everything , never blew smoke up our backs. He helped us keep our family together here in the US. That's what is important to me. Treats his clients with dignity. You cant go wrong really in hiring him for your legal needs.

No one better
I have found that Mr. Deere is Consciencious, Trustyworthy and has the utmost Integrity. The first time I met Mr. Deere, I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. He has plunged into all the various legal details of my case, that I could never attempt on my own. I recommend Mr. Deere to anybody that needs legal help as his knowledge of law, his committment and excellence is unsurpassed.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Successful Experience, We Highly Recommended!
Mr. Deere and his staff are absolutely the best! That isn't something we say lightly. Their knowledge and professionalism are above reproach. Not only did they help us successfully navigate the Spouse Visa process, their guidance and expertise helped us comprehend a system that was completely foreign to us. Not only did we feel confident in their legal hands, but they also made us feel at ease and as if we were dealing with old friends. That was an unexpected pleasantry that we were delighted to have come across. We will continue to retain Mr. Deere and his staff as our legal representatives in any future matters that may present themselves. We highly recommend them.

Confidence inspiring.
Working with Josh his knowledge and his confidence inspired me to be comfortable with the law process. He explained parts of the case that I did not understand and made sure that I comprehended it before we moved on. I felt he was honest and directed me to the best scenario for my benefit. I felt like my case in his hands was being handled correctly and in my best interest. Josh made me feel confident in my case during the process, when I doubted that I had made good decisions. I felt like he was in my corner protecting me and pulling for my issues. I trust him.

Landlord/Tenant dispute
Josh Deere was a pleasure to work with. He kept me up to date on court details, followed up on all changes and gave a professional presentation to the court. As a long time landlord facing a difficult situation, I appreciated his depth of knowledge and integrity.

Great Attorney For Eviction
Josh was very helpful with my case in helping me evict an aggressive tenant. He helped put me at ease and took care of everything along the way. His cell phone response was prompt and personal. Above all, he was concerned with helping me achieve a safe eviction of the tenant who was illegaly occupying my property. I definately would recommend him to anyone I could and I plan on using him in the future for all my attorney needs.

Honest & Trustworthy
Josh has a way about him that makes him easy to work with. He will give you a strait answer in common terms that anyone can understand. I used Josh’s' services for cases involved in residential leasing and never lost a case. One case in particular involving mold and a disabled person who was threatening me with a big lawsuit was renting a home from me. The scenario had all of the scary elements that one might read about in the newspaper or lose their business over even though that person is right. Josh knew exactly what to do and advised me thoroughly, the peace of mind was priceless. Having worked with several lawyers prior to Josh, I appreciated the fact that he answered my calls directly or returned them promptly. The thing that I like most about him is that he is extremely knowledgeable but won't get involved in areas of law that he is not fully confident in. For example, after losing some investment property I offered him money to handle my bankruptcy but he declined and instead referred me to someone else who was equipped to handle the case. To me that said volumes about his character. I knew that he recently changed law firms and was looking to pick up business but instead chose the higher ground and refer me elsewhere. This is just one example among many that let me know that Josh cares about his clients, always gives an honest answer, and is an attorney that I actually trust - literally.

Joshua Deere Review
After a consultation at the law firm where Josh was employed, he agreed to take my case on a pro bono basis. Even though Josh moved to Colorado shortly afterward, he continued working with me. He did phone and email investigation from Colorado and eventually got the person who owed me a large sum of money to sign an agreement.
