Outstanding Attorney!

As a fellow attorney in Chicago, I have very high standards as it comes to professionalism, courtesy, responsiveness, and work quality. I can definitely state that Dean not only met, but exceeded, every one of my expectations! Dean was there to help me through a horrible situation, informed me of all... the necessary steps, and cut out numerous unnecessary steps a lot of other attorneys would have pushed despite not being necessary. Again, i cannot recommend Dean enough, and I am so grateful I found him. Hopefully I will not be in a position where I need another family law attorney, but should I be, there is no one else I would trust!

Responsive and Knowledgeable

Dean and his team were extremely responsive. If my call wasn't answered the first time, I heard back within the hour. Any concerns or questions I had regarding my case, Dean, Morgan, and the law clerk, Brianna, made sure to provide a thoughtful explanation in terms that I understood. Dean was strong ...and stern in the court room- he intimidated my ex, and made me extremely grateful that he was on my side and not the other! What really won me over, though, was his obvious passion for children and justice. 20 out of 10 would recommend Dean and his team for anything pertaining to family law!

Wonderful, level-headed Attorney

Divorce is such a hard experience for anyone to go through that having a level headed, experienced, and well spoken attorney provides such a benefit for a multitude of reasons. Dean Taradash is all of those things. He knows Illinois family law forward and backwards. He also provides wonderful coun...sel. His recommendations for my case were made with my future benefit and my children's benefit at the core. I never felt that anything he was doing was meant to prolong my case, or cause any agitation to me or my ex. He was always polite in all interactions with me, my ex, and the opposing counsel. But he also never gave up any ground that he felt I deserved. If it is possible (and it was because I witnessed him do this on many occasions for my behalf), he was able to negotiate my settlement calmly and very effectively even when faced with opposing counsel who did not share his level of good manners. I always felt that he was in my corner working out the best case scenario for me and my kids. Although my divorce was the worst experience in my life, Dean's counsel made it much less worse than it could have been. I cannot say enough positive things about him. He is not just a good attorney, but also a wonderfully good person.

Best lawyer to have on your side!

Dean is such an amazing and attentive attorney. No one wishes to go through a divorce however, Dean truly made this as painless as possible. He was attentive, and he treated my issues with the necessary sensitivity. There is no surprise in my mind why has a successful practice. I am very thankful tha...t I chose him because I cannot imagine anyone else doing a better job. I will definitely be referring him to anyone I may know who needs a family attorney. Thank you Dean.

Sometimes You Simply Need A Pit Bull.

I can't quite imagine what my life would be like had I never retained Attorney Dean Taradash. One year ago I came into his office panicked, stressed, feeling emotionally deflated and completely defeated. Honestly, I still can't imagine how he managed to sifted through years of self neglect and bagga...ge which could have compromised my pension, and savings, leaving my children in financial hardship had I not retained him. I've come to realize and appreciate that family law, divorce and child custody issues are his calling. He is a great listener and even greater communicator. He refused to allow me to let my fears dictate my legal process. He was firm in his stance at times but thank God for a man who knows how to take the wheel, has a futuristic vision of what's best for the children and knows exactly what he's doing. What I love most about his unmatched professionalism is his timely strategies. I call him my pit bull. I'd like to think that the outcome of my divorce was unprecedented but have since observed him fight for his clients in ways which are a rare find. I am humbled and will forever be indebted to him.
