From the moment I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dean he was always confident in what the ultimate outcome would be for my situation. I was up against two class I misdemeanors because of a vindictive ex girl friend and her crazy lunatic mother. Mr Dean stepped right into the batters box for me and in my opinion hit a grand slam on my behalf! Both my PO violation and CC fraud charge are now both under advisement to be dismissed because of his knowledge about the law and the time and investment he put into my cases. Thanks again Rob! If I ever get in any legal situation again you can guarantee he will be my first and only call. I recommend him for anything and everything involving criminal defense!
Rob Dean and his office were exceptional and very professional. Long story short, I got attacked at a gas station by a lunatic. The lunatic pressed assualt and battery a week later because he got bused up. I contacted Mr Dean right away. Rob was very straight forward, he explained what would take place and how he was going to handle the case. The end result was no conviction. I am very pleased with Rob and his professional employees. I recommend them for anyone who might be facing any charge. From what I seen, Rob can help. THANK YOU again Rob and company. Sincerely, David

One of the best
Rob is one of the most caring, kind, and best attorneys around that you will find. We hired him for my fiance case for a case. First of all, this man not only text me back and forth for hours but returned every single phone call ever made to him. He was always quick efficient and let us know what we could expect. Sometimes it wasn't what we wanted to hear but this man is completely 100% honest. Our case did go to trial and Rob fought for us like a champ. We are currently going through an appeals process that he has helped us with as well. If you're looking for an honest attorney pick him. I recommend him to anyone that I know of it's looking for legal help.

Mr. Dean took care of business
When I had a very unfortunate accident I was charged with reckless driving, and was panicked in what to do as I was being charged with a misdemeanor. I got online and researched the best lawyers in Roanoke on avvo, and to my conclusion Mr. Dean had the best reviews of all. I was very promptly responded to, and when on the phone with Mr. Dean at once I was put at ease from hearing him tell me everything would be taken care of. Throughout the process even when the court system messed up a bit, he was there to make sure everything was straightened out and on schedule. Our case was just finished up and I am extremely happy with the results. I would recommend to anybody looking for a lawyer who will fight for your best result to go with Robert Dean.

Kind and Professional Service for VA Reckless Driving Case
I was charged with Reckless Driving on I-81 in Rockbridge Co, VA on my way to see family for Thanksgiving, clocked at 84/70. I was passing what I deemed to be an unsafe truck on the road and a Sherrif’s Deputy pulled me over. Like most folks, I was unaware that driving in excess of 80 MPH is a criminal offense in VA, even though it was less than 20 miles over, and I consider myself a safe driver so I was a bit surprised, but the law is the law. I did some research and eventually emailed Rob Dean. He quickly got back to me via email and we spoke on the phone after the holiday. He let me know the policy of this particular court, that they will automatically reduce the charge to a speeding ticket if no other tickets in the last five years are on your record. Unfortunately, I had a ticket from late 2015 in a different state. Still, Rob counseled to get my car calibrated since it is an older model and informed me that if my speedometer showed the correct speed that the car was going, then there was no reason to retain him since I was going to most likely receive the conviction. But, it turns out that my 2007 model was off, and only then did Rob take my case because he knew he could launch a reasonable defense based on the merits of the case. Rob emailed and called with me with all this guidance before I ever paid anything to retain him for my defense in court. After I retained him for a very reasonable fee, he took care of everything, working with the law enforcement officer to get a new court date and communicating with the court on my behalf. My charge was reduced yesterday to a Speeding citation and I paid the fee plus court costs today. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and I very much recommend Rob Dean for anyone in a similar situation.

Attorney Dean Is Exceptional
Attorney Dean is exceptional. We hired him to defend criminal allegations. He was reassuring, realistic, strategic, responded immediately to our questions, and kept us informed every step of the way. The case had an excellent outcome, and the cost was very reasonable. He even assisted with follow-up questions after the matter was settled. Attorney Dean was an excellent choice!

Hired remotely for traffic charge
We hired Rob Dean remotely from Canada for a Virginia traffic case. It was a bit intimidating to select a lawyer over the Internet, but luckily we made an excellent choice. Rob and his team helped resolve the situation better than expected.
Rob's responsiveness was amazing. Right from the first call for a consultation to multiple emails during the process, Rob and his team quickly replied to any questions.
Rob was very up front about every step. He tried to prevent false expectations, and was clear and concise with all communication.
Lastly, his fee was very reasonable, and again it was clearly communicated in our first call. Because he represented me in court, it prevented travel costs to go to court myself that would have significantly exceeded the fees.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend choosing Rob Dean as your lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer and Trustworthy Personality
I ran into trouble on July 2nd, just two days before the July 4th. I was so scary and upset. I searched on the internet for a good lawyer who is professional in criminal practices. The first name appeared was Mr. Dean and I decided to send him a message that summarized all details about my troubles. He called me back the next day, offered me a consultation and started to work right immediately. I was impressed because he willingly help me on the holiday. He sent me emails and texts to keep my up to date on my case. We also met at his office to discuss solutions, consequences and next steps of the trial process. It was such a nightmare to me because I am so embarrassed about my accusation, but thanks Goddess he was there to share every concern with me, encouraged me to keep me calm and directed me to go on the right way to get the best results. He fought for me at court and he never gives up. My case was dropped and he would help me to get the case expunged. If anyone has misdemeanor charges or even felony charges, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Dean. He offers the best service as well as affordable prices to help his clients get the best results. I trusted him and he saved my future, my life, and my self-esteem.

Mr. Dean handled my case in a very professional manner. A sharp mind as well as a sharp dresser. Very informed. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Could not have been a better outcome. He is very informative, listened to my concerns, and acted upon them in an most expeditious manner. Highly recommend him and his team. I hope I never need his services in the defense capacity again. But should the need arise, he will be the first and only one I contact. Great job Mr. Dean. Chris P.

Can not thank Rob Enough
Let me put it this way. I was going through the most hurtful situation a person can go through. I was looking at a Felony and a Misdemeanor. Looking at 5 to 10 years, life would be ruined over false accusations. Not only did Rob dig deep and find the truth, he worked effortlessly. He never, and I mean never gave in! All charges were dropped and I will Be doing 24 months probation, to then have my record Wiped Clean. He is an upfront, honest person. EVEN IF he would have lost this case, I still would recommend him. He not only saved my future, my reputation, my life but he has a staff like Angel that is kind!
I was FAILED! By other attorneys during this Process, but Rob came through. So, I tell you this from someone who has never been in trouble, a Veteran, and Latino. That Rob will fight tooth and nail for you. If you ever need any TYPE Of help, Rob and his staff are the ones that will take care of you. He answered over 100 emails, phone calls, very well educated and was there at midnight to get me out of Jail on a Sunday.
The price for everything I was going for, was absolutely affordable.
I really can not thank Rob Dean and Staff for everything they did. Longest 8 months of my life, but Rob came through.

Reckless Dricing Ticket
I was charged with reckless driving 80/60 near Roanoke VA area. At that time I was under 6-month probation for another reckless driving charge. I was very worried about getting two reckless driving charges in such short time period. But Rob Dean was able to handle those cases very well. He continued my court date after my probation and dismiss my charge. 100% recommended!

Reckless Driving Ticket
Like many others posting here, I was charged with reckless driving in Virginia (I-64; 84 mph/70 mph zone). As a Maryland resident, I was unaware of Virginia's strict driving laws and assumed I would simply pay a fine for speeding. Not so!
In Virginia, the law provides for a criminal charge against persons driving at more than 20 mph over the speed limit or over 80 mph regardless of how many mph over the speed limit. This is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia, which is the same level of offense as DUI, and it carries a penalty of up to a $2,500 fine and/or 12 months in jail!
I only became aware of the severity of the charge once I began receiving a slew of letters from lawyers willing to represent me. After speaking with several, I chose Rob Dean. As a former prosecutor, Mr. Dean has an acute understanding of Virginia's driving laws and is familiar with the members of the Court—specifically the presiding Judge.
Fortunately, I had a clean driving record (no points). At my court hearing—which I did not attend—Mr. Dean was able to reduce the misdemeanor offense to a speeding ticket. Thank goodness!
I'm grateful to Mr. Dean and I will never drive above the speed limit again. Do not hesitate to hire him to represent you in a reckless driving case.

Virginia Ticket
Mr. Dean did a wonderful job with a reckless driving citation in Virginia. I live out of state and would not have been able to deal with this citation. I was able to get updates and information in a very timely manner. His office staff was amazing. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dean.

Speeding Ticket in Virginia Case Dismissed Represented by R. Dean
I got a speeding ticket in VA for going 87 in a 75 mph zone (it was a very steep hill and we live in a very flat area of MD). Being from MD, I did not realize that anything over 80 could result in a felony misdemeanor conviction and a fine up to $2,500+. Chose Rob Dean out of the slew of solicitations I received and I am glad I did. Mr. Dean was extremely reasonably priced and always responded to my e-mails quickly and professionally. I did not have to attend court and my charge was dismissed completely. I was fortunate to have a clean driving record and although Mr. Dean did not necessarily think it was necessary, I did complete a Driver Improvement Program. Both my driving record and certificate of completion were presented to the Court. Again, can not express strongly enough that Mr. Dean was professional and competent and made the process proceed smoothly.

Excellent lawyer,
I was coming through rural Virginia (on the highway) and honestly had no idea I could get a ticket for reckless speeding for going over 80 mph. So I got the ticket, and there was no option to pre-pay... I would have to make the huge trip back to deal with the ticket. Then I found out its a misdemeanor and can have a huge fine and points to go with it. So I hired Rob Dean, he was easy to work with, and he dealt with the whole thing so I DID NOT have to take a day off or two and drive to court so far from my home. He does a wonderful job!

Truly an amazing lawyer!
Rob Dean truly is a great lawyer. He's very professional, personable, honest and does as he says. I was never once blindsided by the possibilities i was facing. It was great having someone be so honest and laying everything on the table for me since day one. He was available anytime i had a question or concern, he was prompt on returning emails, phone calls or text messages, and he answered any and all questions i had with complete honesty and knowledge. He has very fair rates. He was very helpful, full of knowledge, seasoned, honest and did his best to avoid jail time for me ( he succeeded), and most of all he was very nice to me and my family the entire time. I was truly honored to have him as my defense attorney. If you're in any kind of legal trouble I was contact Rob Dean, he's one of the best and I recommend him to any and everyone. Thank you so much Mr. Dean for everything and for working so diligently on my case and in keeping me out of jail. Thanks to you the case was dismissed and no time in jail!!
