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!

Dean took over for me after 7 years of not getting much done and draining myself financially in the process with other lawyers. Dean was able to fix long unresolved issues in 6 months and I am able to move forward now. I can’t she happier with the job that the Taradash Group did for me and my family.... I would encourage anyone to work with Dean!

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!

I am being sued by my late husband's ex-wife for his disability benefits which I have received since his passing in 2017. I first learned about Dean while helping my friend find a trustworthy and powerful attorney for her divorce. I was impressed by the fact that Dean called my friend that same eve...ning from his home after receiving her email. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer her list of questions. The female attorney I had already hired for my case, was asking me for yet another $3,000 within only two months of starting my case. Her retainer was even greater. Furthermore, I never knew how much that first attorney truly understood about my case because I was told I'll be doing most of the communicating with her paralegal, and not the attorney herself. My faith in that attorney was dwindling fast and so was my bank account! The search for a new attorney didn't take long. In my email to Dean seeking a new legal representative, I literally wrote, "I need a bulldog attorney who isn't going to nickel and dime me." Within the hour, Dean called me and he has been my rock in this case ever since. Unlike my first attorney, I have been communicating with Dean himself, not the paralegal. Dean provides prompt and honest answers to my questions. He also gives me the reassurance I need which allows me to breathe a lot easier. At this time, and no fault of Dean's whatsoever, I am appealing the judge's decision and will be bringing this case to a higher court. Dean's dedication and knowledge has impressed me so much that I have also retained him as my attorney for Appellate.

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.
