Posted by William | September 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Foreclosure and breach of contract.

I was referred to Ash Dean to stop a foreclosure on our property -- a foreclosure that was triggered by the lender returning our payments and then asserting we were in default. Ash successfully stopped not only the first foreclosure but also the next four as the lender refused to accept payments and... repeatedly asserted varying amounts that were allegedly due. Ash filed a complaint for breach of contract and initiated discovery requests asking the lender to account for how it reached its statements of default. The complaint and discovery requests finally got the lender's attention, and the matter was resolved in my favor.

So glad Ash Dean was on my team!

I engaged Ash Dean to represent me against several charges filed by an overzealous Fairfax County Virginia police officer. During the trial, Mr. Dean skillfully and methodically presented evidence that this was a wrongful arrest. The end result was “not guilty” on all counts. Mr. Dean’s defense wa...s so compelling, the judge actually reprimanded the police officer for his actions against me. I am forever grateful to Mr. Dean for his representation and enthusiastically recommend him for legal services.

employment - non-compete clause

Mr. Dean was very friendly and proficient at solving my situation. I had a prior employer that I had signed a contract with that had a non-compete clause. After I was released from the company, they would not let me work anywhere in the tri-state area of VA, DC and MD. Very quickly he was able to get... them to stop harassing me and open my employment opportunities back up. All the while, he was able to keep my cost low and reasonable. Highly recommend using him and his firm if you have any issues.

Ash Dean - Confidence in legal experience

Ash Dean has assisted my family, business and employees over the past couple of years and has represented us with the utmost professionalism. I am more than happy to offer a recommendation for his legal services as I know first-hand his capabilities. Ash has provided an array of legal represen...tation in personal matters, business issues and assisted our employees in a couple of their personal problems. We are getting ready to enter into a complicated real estate tranaction and will rely on Ash to be a part of the legal team to direct and monitor the transaction. I'm really good at what I do and Ash is really good at what he does. Thank you.
