This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Teenage Speeding Ticket

When our teenage son received a reckless driving speeding ticket, we realized we needed expert legal advice. Mr Dean gave our son a checklist of requirements for him to complete before his court date, making everything perfectly clear. He followed our son's progress through his expected tasks and m...ade recommendations when necessary. On the day of our son's court appearance, Mr Dean knew exactly what to do and spoke privately with the prosecutor to work out the best possible outcome for him. Reckless driving was expunged and the fine reduced to simple speeding. We have recommended Mr Dean to other teenagers' parents that find themselves in the same situation and heard nothing but glowing reviews afterwards. We give Mr Dean our highest possible recommendation.

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.
