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.

He is not good immigration matter

I thought i wouldnt have to worry about anything paying for a lawyer to do all the green card papers, well, i only have to say this- i wish i had done it myself and save the $1500. The staff never have updats for you or your phone number, the staff made a lot of little spelling or informations mistak...es on my forms even with everything being handed to them. Joshua does not call you unless on your email you almost beg him, he doesnt seem aware of your case or the updates. I had to look for my answers online and i could had not had my money bck becuse he said him job was done, Waist of my time!!!!!! I do not believe he delivered such a mediocre job and his staff ( they are the ones who fill out your forms not him).

I do not agree with this review. Because of attorney-client confidentiality, I am limited as to what I can say. However, I will state that the client hired me to help her apply for her Green Card, and we obtained it for her successfully in almost the exact amount of time that I predicted it would take. As she and her husband stated in the other review they put on this site, which was a five-star positive review, we succeeded in helping them keep their family together here in the U.S. There were a few complications prior to filing due primarily to the client's circumstances, not mine. I have tried everything I know how to do to make this client happy, but unfortunately some clients will never be satisfied no matter what happens.

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 th...e 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.
