I wrote this same review on Google. I felt compelled to share to all on this site as well. Dean was referred to me after I had already been through three divorce attorneys (same divorce). Dean listened to all my concerns He explained what the law is and exactly where I stood. Most of all Dean ...cared. For the first time through this horrendous process I felt like I had an attorney who was by my side. Dean is professional, ethical, and knows the 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.
