An Amazing Team!

I hired Dean/Kantaras law based on a family member's recommendation. I am so grateful Dean handled my case. It was a very difficult divorce and Dean and staff always made sure I was taken care of through the process. My outcome was what I had hoped for. So grateful for the Kantaras Law team.

Separation

My name is Valerie and I had a great experience with K. Dean Kantaras' Law firm. During my marital upheaval I worked with Dean Kantaras as well as few other attorneys from his firm. In addition to providing superb services they are very up front about their fees, costs and expectations about how my s...ituation would unfold. They also have a friendly and helpful staff - they treated me with compassion and empathy, more like a family member rather than just another customer. In today’s “high tech” and “fast paced” society, it was nice to find an office that takes the time to get to know me as a person first in addition to providing excellent services. K.Dean Kantaras' Law Firm is a step above and beyond most offices. I have found my experience with this office to be extremely satisfying and I would recommend them highly to anyone and who needs a competent, honest and understanding attorney.

Extremely professional !

I met Dean years before he helped me with my divorce in 2007. I have to say that I was very impressed with everyone in his office. I have since recommended Dean Kantaras to many of my friends and clients. This man is extremely knowledgable,, a truely great attorney!

Violated HIPPA!

This attorney should be disbarred for CONTINUOUSLY violating the STANDARD PROCEDURES of LAW! This is a consistent pattern of an NPD attorney,misusing the family court system for personal gain, and violating all the HIPPA laws of personal citizens who have ever filled a prescription at PUBLIX or CVS,... by sending out multiple subpoenas to pharmacies to obtain confidential and personal health related information, even AFTER being admonished orally and in writing by Family Court judge Gnage. Everyone should be warned about his use and abuse of his attorney license to obtain information that violated the Department of health and Human Services (DHHS), guidelines to protect ALL intimate and private health information, that is a federal and state right of all people! He should never be allowed to practice law again!

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.
