This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Truly the Best!

Dean Fuchs is quite possibly the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of working with. From the moment I informed him about my issue, he gave me every option that I would face as well as solid resolutions to the matter. It was quite clear that Dean was here for me and he did everything in hi...s power to ensure success. If you are ever in need of an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, Dean Fuchs should be first on your list.

Knowledgable and Reliable

Dean is a knowledgable and reliable attorney whom I worked with to have an agreement drafted. Additionally, Dean was very responsive throughout the entire process, easy to work with and helpful. I would not hesitate to work with him again should the need arise.

Replied last July 7, 2021

it is impossible to respond to an anonymous, critical post, since I have no idea who this individual is, or why he/she has reached the opinion they have. I only regret that the individual who posted this had the decency to raise any issue or concern he/she had with me directly, rather than hiding behind an anonymous post. I cannot attempt to address any issue if you do not communicate it to me. I have been practicing law for over 27 years and I have never before received such a comment or post.

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.
