Babak

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 cr...iminal 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 .

Outstanding attorney

The consultation went amazing. Mr. Deere was very professional. Gave me further understanding at to where my case is currently at and what I need to do at this point before moving forward. I highly recommend him as well as his services.

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 conci...se, 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.

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.

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 forei...gn 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.
