Leslie Dean

"5/5 Stars – I can't thank Leslie Dean and her team enough! After struggling with the VA system, my anxiety just wouldnt let me continue, they took my case, handled everything with incredible expertise, and got me to 100% disability rating. Their knowledge of VA appeals and attention to detail made a...ll the difference. If you're a veteran fighting for the benefits you earned, I highly recommend the Law Office of Leslie Dean. Forever grateful – thank you for fighting for us!"

Deans practice and office are beyond horrible. I signed up for their waitlist back in April. Said it could be a while which I was ok with. I was receiving emails about my status on the waitlist; on June 18 “you’re number 52” and on July 16 “you are number 18 and you should be contacted in approximate...ly 2 weeks”. I was not contacted in two weeks. When I called to inquire they said unfortunately we had to terminate the list. How does a waitlist get terminated? You serve the next client in line. They would not tell me why. I told them I know this process takes a while but I had till December to get my paperwork in (getting appointments and the VA process takes forever as we all know). They said it wouldn’t be a problem and they would get me in before then. I paid the fee and signed the limited power of attorney. Once they received my VA file they scheduled me for a consult in January 2026. When I asked why it wasn’t before Dec like they had said, they replied with we didn’t say that. YES THEY DID. After this I contacted other firms to see how they operate and every firm I spoke with said that they are not allowed to charge me any fees other than the 20% of retro pay. Dean Law Firm charges a $2500 processing fee plus 20% of retro pay. I have no idea if that is true or not however 4 other firms said it’s not allowed. It is clear since they had me file my intent with the VA in April after I first contacted them, they pushed my case back as far as possible in order to receive maximum back pay from my case. They are only concerned with your money and not you as a veteran.

Ms. Dean came highly recommended by a fellow veteran who was having difficulty getting disability coverage . I contacted the Law Offices of Leslie Dean and to this day very happy that I did . With all the frustrations of having tried so many times to get the VA to award me the 100% disability I had ...been try to get for the past 10 years for disabilities stemming from my time in Vietnam such as agent orange , PTSD . Attorney Dean and paralegal Melvin Drury made the process of claiming disability benefits stress less. I highly recommend Their services to any veteran who’s going through the difficult process of maneuvering the challenging task of getting your claims accepted . I thank God that attorney Dean was recommended to me and I highly recommend any veteran who is looking for someone who really cares for veterans and their families . Thanks again Leslie , God bless

Leslie and her team took my case and it didn’t take long for them to accomplish what I was unable to do for 20 years! Thank you all for your professionalism. Your team’s understanding of the struggle vets face when trying to navigate the VA’s impossible and broken system is awesome. I have share...d your contact with every combat vet I know. Keep up the good fight! Thank you again for what you do.
