Criminal Defense 40%

What to do if you've been arrested. Whatever the charge, any arrest is a life-changing event. Your first priority must be to get the best possible criminal attorney to arrange your release and prepare for your defense. Let me offer you my 30 years of experience as a state prosecutor and practicing criminal defense attorney.

40%
Divorce and Separation 38%

My experience can help achieve the best possible outcome for you and your children. Florida is a “No-Fault” state regarding divorce. That means reasons or causes for the end of the marriage are not an issue for the court. Whether or not anyone thinks that is unfair, the law doesn’t allow one party to punish the other. In fact, letting your emotions guide your actions could really be detrimental to the outcome of your case.

Dean Tsourakis was a pleasure to work with during difficult times. His take charge confidence immediately put us at ease and he successfully settled all issues. I highly recommend dean when his field of law is in need.

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.
