Dean handled my divorce and got everything I was going for and finalized the divorce in 90 days. He's all business, so if you're looking for someone to hold your hand and sympathize he may not be for you. He's direct and to the point and gets done what needs to be done. He's the type of lawyer I need...ed for my divorce to get it done and over with. He did really seem to care what was best for my kids and got me full custody and limited visitation to my ex wife (who was a drug user). Highly recommend him if you're looking for a no nonsense lawyer that gets the job done.

In fairness this has been a long time coming, 2017. BUT......it neeeds to be shared. I was locked in a hostlie divorce where my former spouse was behaving in ways that is referred to as Parental Alienation Sundrome; research through the APA and the DSM5 ackowledge: " (Induced parental alienation i...s a specific form of psychological child abuse, which is listed in DSM-5, the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), under diagnostic code V 995.51 "child psychological abuse." As I stumbled across Taradash's website promotion of his expertise in ths area (it has since been changed dramatically), and trusting what he had informed me about his expertise in Parental Alienation it was only later that in an exasperated phone call he openly doubted everything that I was telling him about what was happening to my children and I, then TOLD ME HE NEEDED PROOF that what I was telling him was actually happpening. I asked what kind of proof he needed, and when he told me I provided exactly what he asked for. In a subsequent phone call, exasperated by the proof he requested and I provided him, he stated that he could not believe what was happening and stated specifically that he had no professional experience with Parental Alienation and thus I immediately fired him. He lied about his experience for almost a year, while taking advantage and capitalizing on a parent who was desperately fighting for his children, who loves his children UNCONDITIONALLY and in the end Dean Taradash demonstrated absoutely ZERO integrity in any word or action diplayed while, by his own words in the last phone call, had no direct professional training and expertise with Parental Alienation (now refered to as Attachment Based Parental Alienation). Did you know that Dean Taradash?? Have not seen my daughters in ten years. This is why I hired him so that would not happen. It has been a long time coming to write this review. MY WORDS retain integrity. I promised a review. Did he learn anything from his deception? Character is extremely difficult to change. You are who you are. Think about this sidenote.....Dean Taradash continued to take retainers from me while appearently knowing he had no professional background with he which he stated he did in PA?? No integrity. Never returning any of the retainers I paid him for expertise he never had. ( Caps for emphasis outside of capitalized terminologies)

Dean worked on my case for months , was paid and then sent a stand in without my consent for the trial. I flew in from another state for this trial and couldn't be bothered to tell me. Run don't walk. Check the ARDC. He is the most unethical attorney , best part is, my brother who is an attorney, who...m he knows, recommended him and he still did that to me!
