Seriously a great law firm

When I was told to go and talk with Mr Joe Dell about an accident I have on the job I was actually thinking it’s just another lawyer and at that time is was stressed and undecided. After our first initial conversation and a few phone calls later I actually realized that this law firm is very respon...sive and also shows professionalism and integrity to my case also very resourceful when I need extra help with finding facilities local to me because my injuries prevented me from traveling distances, I highly recommend Dell&Dean Pllc law firm. On a professional level I wish I’d be able to speak to the Dell & Dean team on a daily basis because personally they do make it feel like a family with the advice is always good and sometimes humorous! Special thanks to Joe Dell , Joanna A , Olga , and Josh Dell. Much appreciated

THE BEST!

I have been working for Joe for 7 years. Not only is he a great boss, but when I had my own case he was awesome. He got me a settlement that I never thought I would get. He truly treats everyone like family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
