Did wonders! Wonderful!

Dean has done what others could not. After 3 years 4 law firms and 330,000 in retirement funds I lost everything. That I did not mind. It was my 3 children in an abusive house hold that hurt. Other law firms bounced around financial disclosures until I was broke. I had turned in many reports of abuse... pictures word etc. Now I had video. http://youtu.be/hmkGfRB9b_w No longer could the teenagers be blamed. In a last ditch effort I borrowed money and went looking for a new lawyer. Most laughed at me. The big name fathers right guy would not even look for less than 10g. Law schools turned the backs to me. I turned to Avvo. I posted all my info. Dean responded with in minutes. I called his office on a Saturday. Again he was on top and we set an appointment Monday! Other lawyer responded some telling me what a bad person I was! I was at the end of my rope and so where the children. By Wednesday we went to court. Dean ran the room. I walked with an emergency order of custody! My children are now with me for almost two months. They are very happy, I'm over joyed. We have been to court several times. Each time Dean takes charge stands between me and any opposing force. I never say a word. He remembers and drives them back. Most firms stood behind me. They let the system beat me over and over. I hate the system. I have few good words. But Dean has shown me hope that justice exists! I will stand beside Dean Taradash anytime any where. If needed please contact me at cmartin7143@sbcglobal.net. He is that good!

Dean Taradash could not have been more efficient, reliable and responsive when I was in need of answers. He always followed up with me. He also looks out for his clients best interest and needs. He has a lot of compassion for his client. He is a very intellectual and definitely knows his profession v...ery well!! Any one in need for an excellent family law attorney should contact Dean Taradash.

Very thorough and very caring

When my marriage exploded I found Mr. Taradash online. He was very understanding and offered me a thorough strategy from the beginning. There had been domestic violence and Mr. Taradash and his staff had my case ready and in court the same day. They won for me an Order of Protection and were very... aggressive to secure for me the finances I needed. I have to say that they looked out for all kinds of things I had no idea to even think of, from taxes, to school costs, to babysitters, to visitation schedules. My experience was very positive. I would recommend them to anyone facing family court. They are very thorough and very caring.

Very happy after years of service.

I've worked with Dean on a multitude of cases over more than a decade. He knows the law, he knows the courts, and he knows his clients. As a divorce and family-law attorney, myself, I've turned to Dean for assistance and insight in a multitude of cases. His intuition, judgment, and shrewdness have he...lped me resolve many complex cases. Over the years, I've known of many colleagues as well, who have sought the benefit of Dean's acumen and experience. Dean's reputation among the family-law bar for ethical practice and square dealing is impeccable. He is widely recognized and respected by the family-law bench and bar. When I needed a divorce lawyer in my own case, I am proud to say that it was Dean I turned to. He helped me, guided me, and counseled me from before the initial pleading through the next sixteen years in various post-decretal issues. He has helped me and I personally know he has helped more than one thousand others just like me. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Not what I expected

I would have to rate Dean with a poor review. I wouldn't rate someone in the poor category unless I felt certain of his actions. I was going through legal changes with my ex. Changes to parenting agreement and costs for braces and other teenage costs. I used another, less expensive attorney to go... through about 5 continuances & a lot of money later and a few things that we asked for were in court order. I called Dean & asked if he would be willing to help me with my final court date and hearing. It was in less then 2 months away, so I was pressured. He said he would do it. I met with Dean and we went over my case. I explained everything to him. I think it went in one ear and out the other. He asked who the opposing attorney was, I told him and he said, oh yea good guy I know him. I was a little thrown back by what he said but thought, ok well if he knows him he still has an ethical responsibility to defend me. I just assumed all the attorneys know each other, thought no big deal. After our meeting I sent him an email about proper child support calculations. He told me we would discuss at the court house, the day of my hearing. The day of my hearing he pulls out my file which was in total disarray and showed me what the child support should be. I agreed. The other attorney was fighting for a credit to his client a lesser child support, no extra help with ortho care and no help with cell phone. Which all three were already court ordered, except the child support. So really all Dean had to do was show supporting documentation and be done. When we were finally called to the stand the judge ordered a recess and the 2 attorneys and judge went to the back room to discuss our case. When they returned I find out everything that I had previously fought for was all dismissed and reversed. I find out the original child support order was lowered and there was a falsified credit given to the defendant. The orders for braces and cell phone were also dismissed. When Dean came back to tell me this I was in complete shock and I could swear he was defending the other party instead of me. He says the opposing counsel had fin plan calculations. I am very disappointed and it was a very costly mistake! I would not recommend Dean whatsoever. I truly feel he lost all for me because I didn't hire him to begin with...or because he knew the opposing counsel. Either way he was definitely not in it for mine or my child's best interests... Very disappointed
