Having to go through a divorce is difficult enough, but having to work with multiple attorneys across different states makes it much more complex. I was lucky enough to have Dean on my side! Dean represented me wonderfully in Chicago, worked professionally with my primary attorney in my home stat...e, was transparent and communicated with me every step of the way. He was direct and honest (which is exactly what I needed - no beating around the bush or giving me false hope) and knew exactly how to handle my case Dean has been great to work with, and anyone who needs a divorce lawyer should look no further than Dean Taradash!

Dean is the best family and divorce lawyer and you want him in your team. Dean is helping me get through a very difficult time. Dean is highly effective and competent attorney. He delivers result better than other attorneys and charges many times lower than other attorneys. I have found Dean to be v...ery direct, and he keeps the discussion focused on what is important for the case. He knows the law very well, tells you the range of outcome based on law, and doesn’t overpromise. I would highly recommend Dean anyone going through divorce before wasting your money with other attorneys. Also – Dean is always available when I have a question or I need to talk to him.

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!

Going through a divorce is an extremely difficult, scary and uncertain process that can be made infinitely easier by hiring a knowledgeable, dedicated and especially compassionate attorney. Dean Taradash is that attorney. Dean is excellent in navigating and explaining the legal process to his clients... but especially patient and understanding with what is a very difficult life transition. I could not imagine going through my divorce without Dean’s excellent counsel not only because he was able to reach an excellent settlement but because he is truly a considerate, caring attorney who wants the best for his clients and goes above and beyond to do so. I will always be grateful to Dean in helping me get through one of the most difficult times in my life.

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.
