Dean Taradash

I was referred to Dean by a former client of his. I was unable to come to his office during office hours and he was willing to meet with me over the weekend to discuss my case. It was an emotional time for me but Dean was still able to help me understand the system a little better and help me under...stand what I was entitled to in my divorce. He didn't want me to waste my time and money focusing on things that he knew wouldn't go my way. I respected that because I had heard horror stories about other attorneys who tell you what you want to hear and then disappear. That wasn't Dean. He kept cost down by helping me maneuver through what I should be fighting for and why. He was always willing to answer my questions. Even when I called him after hours. Although no one wants to go through a divorce, having Dean as a lawyer during the process made the fight a little less painful. The friend who referred me to him had nothing but positive things to say. He was actually able to gain custody of his son during his divorce which he didn’t expect but is so grateful to Dean for having fought and won for him. Dean has a lot of experience and is a lawyer who is willing to tell you the truth. He fought for me hard even on a few thing we knew I wouldn't prevail. And on many more things were we did. He has a great presence in the courtroom. The Judge’s respect him which was a huge confidence boost as his client. I hope my case never heats up again but if it does, I will not hesitate to call Dean. And recommend him to anyone that may ask for a suggestion. I didn’t want to need a lawyer but I trust Dean and think he did a very good job for me.

I needed an attorney for my divorce and luckily found Mr Taradash. I setup an appointment to see him, discussed the issues and was assured to leave the rest to him. He was in continual contact with me, filed the motions with the court and stayed on top of all the paperwork. The very next time I saw h...im was at the court house when my divorce was finalized. I cannot thank him enough for handling my divorce with professionalism, dignity and compassion at one of the most difficult times in my life.

It was great working with Dean Taradash and his team. Everything was done in a timely fashion, and I received documents related to my case immediately after they were prepared or entered in court. My phone calls and emails were returned immediately. The best part about my experience with Dean’s offic...e was that I did not have to come into their office once. I live in Indiana so it would have been a long commute if Dean needed me to come in, but he was able to do everything by communicating with me through the telephone and email. This was amazing. The only time I had to come to Chicago was for my last court date when my divorce was finalized. Even then, Dean amazed me by his court room presence and organization. Everything went very smoothly and he was very well informed about the law and my case. The dedication by Dean and his staff was really great. I really enjoyed Dean’s representation of me.

At the beginning of my divorce I hired a firm that did nothing but overcharge me and take all my money without doing anything for my case. After being thoroughly frustrated, I was recommended to Dean Taradash by a good friend of mine who had a nasty divorce case, but Dean helped him greatly, so I fi...gured I would give him a try. I researched Dean Taradash online and was a little weary from some of the reviews on here, but let me tell you THEY ARE FAR FROM THE TRUTH! Dean was so helpful from the get-go. He immediately took action and helped me fire my first divorce lawyer. Then he had a motion filed in my case immediately and I was emailed a copy that he filed at court within the same day. Talk about prompt service! Everytime I telephoned Dean's office, even if Dean was not available, the office staff was so helpful. They did their best to answer my questions or provide me with information and later that day Dean would call me back as well. I was never left in the dark on my case. Dean was always very calm and knew just the right actions to take to ensure I would get the outcomes I desired - even when i was very upset with my ex and her behavior. I am not sure why other people were saying he yelled at them because he never even raised his voice at me. He was always very professional and helpful! Not only was Dean professional and trustworthy, he was also very proficient in court. The one time I went to court with him for my case, the other attorneys and even the judge all knew him by name. At that point, I knew I was in very great hands. The judge even seemed to highly respect what he had to say. Even when I was not in court, I was emailed orders that were entered immediately afterwards and Dean or his staff let me know exactly what happened. Overall, Dean was a great lawyer and helped me greatly through my tough divorce. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEAN TARADASH TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT DIVORCE LAWYER.
