Freedom at a Price

After months in a Navy hospital, I was medically RETIRED from the Navy at the age of 20 in 1967. The VA picked up my medical needs and has been in my corner ever since. Last year I was refered to Leslie by a retired Navy friend who I trust. He suggested her because she is thorough and very skill...ed in military law and benefits. Leslie and her team worked with me to understand my potential benefits to prepare the information and applications required over a period of weeks. The results greatly exceeded my expectations and cost nothing out of pocket. Leslie Dean changed my life in a very positive way.

HORRIBLE

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.

We hate to hear this from you. We have a long wait list, and at the onset we let prospective clients know this who want pre-filing consult work (which we can charge for/searching for new items that may present and digging through records and other elements which takes a great deal of time). We do not charge to file new claims and appeals/supplementals/20% contingency is standard. Any money you paid for PFC work that you didn't want to pursue because it wasn't to your time preference was refunded in full. Good luck to you.

Best Veterans benefits lawyer in Florida......

I can not thank this law firm enough, they have truly been my families saving grace. My father didn't believe in the VA helping him after serving in Vietnam Nam, after his claims being denied by the VA. But with the help of this amazing law firm my father is now 100%. I wished i would of known about ...them sooner. Everyone on this team is super helpful, and truly care about our veterans ... Leslie Dean is amazing!!!!!

Positive VA Claim from Law Office of Leslie Dean

I tried on my own for years, and my claims kept getting denied. Leslie took the time to explain the entire process, and go through my medical file and find proof for my claims. Leslie is very professional and dedicated to help Veterans like myself. I have recommended several customers to her law firm..., and they are all happy with her services. I would recommend her law firm to everyone.

Leslie Dean Military Law Practice Delivered Positive Results in Less than Four Months

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.
