Leslie Dean

My case was handled exactly as they said what they would do. They were upfront and honest and took the headache away from me from having to try and file alone. I heard about Leslie Dean law firm through another Veteran who was going through the same issues that I was having. The team didn’t disappoin...t, I recommend Leslie Dean law firm to any Veteran trying to receive what they have earned. Mr. Drury thumbs up to you can’t thank you enough!

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.

I have used the services of Law Office of Leslie Dean PA and words cannot express the professionalism, dedication, and commitment and trustworthiness of Leslie and her Team! I was referred by another veteran after many failed tryouts with my pending disability case—over ten years. She was able to add...ress all my medical issues with a positive outcome in less than four months. Similarly, I recommended her services to at lease three other veterans who also had also positive results and were extremely impressed with their service and attention to details. I recommend the Law Office of Leslie Dean PA to any veteran seeking VA Disability Benefits.

After 15 years of putting off my VA disability claim, mostly because the process felt like trying to read a map in the dark, I finally turned to Leslie Dean’s firm. From the very first email, their team made the maze feel manageable. Every question I sent (and there were plenty) was answered clearly,... in everyday language, and almost always within 24 hours. When my consultation day arrived, six months after joining the wait-list, any lingering nerves vanished. Leslie’s reassuring, approachable demeanor paired with her deep knowledge of VA law gave me instant confidence that I was in the right hands. The real game-changer, though, was the firm’s thoroughness. They combed through my service and medical records with a fine-tooth comb, uncovering several conditions I never realized were service-related. Because of that diligence, my final rating was higher than I ever thought possible, life-changing for me and my family. Every staff member I interacted with was professional, polite, and genuinely seemed to care about my outcome. Yes, the wait for a consultation is real, but it is absolutely worth it. It seems Leslie approaches each veteran’s case with a simple mission: you served your country; now she’ll fight to make sure you get what you’ve earned. I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Leslie Dean to any veteran feeling lost in the VA system. Their expertise and compassion turned a daunting process into a victory.

This Vietnam combat veteran assures fellow vets pursuing VA benefits claims they are in the best of hands with Dean Law . Not only are Leslie Dean and Mel Drury knowledgeable and doggedly diligent advocates, they are dedicated to availing veterans of every possible benefit. Vets wishing personal... step-by-step guidance through the labyrinth of filing benefits claims and follow-up will find no better advocates. I am most grateful to Leslie and Mel for their assistance in procuring a benefits rating of 100%.
