At the beginning of my divorce I hired a firm that did nothing but overcharge me and take all my money without doing anything for my case. After being thoroughly frustrated, I was recommended to Dean Taradash by a good friend of mine who had a nasty divorce case, but Dean helped him greatly, so I fi...gured I would give him a try. I researched Dean Taradash online and was a little weary from some of the reviews on here, but let me tell you THEY ARE FAR FROM THE TRUTH! Dean was so helpful from the get-go. He immediately took action and helped me fire my first divorce lawyer. Then he had a motion filed in my case immediately and I was emailed a copy that he filed at court within the same day. Talk about prompt service! Everytime I telephoned Dean's office, even if Dean was not available, the office staff was so helpful. They did their best to answer my questions or provide me with information and later that day Dean would call me back as well. I was never left in the dark on my case. Dean was always very calm and knew just the right actions to take to ensure I would get the outcomes I desired - even when i was very upset with my ex and her behavior. I am not sure why other people were saying he yelled at them because he never even raised his voice at me. He was always very professional and helpful! Not only was Dean professional and trustworthy, he was also very proficient in court. The one time I went to court with him for my case, the other attorneys and even the judge all knew him by name. At that point, I knew I was in very great hands. The judge even seemed to highly respect what he had to say. Even when I was not in court, I was emailed orders that were entered immediately afterwards and Dean or his staff let me know exactly what happened. Overall, Dean was a great lawyer and helped me greatly through my tough divorce. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEAN TARADASH TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT DIVORCE LAWYER.

Dean handled my divorce and got everything I was going for and finalized the divorce in 90 days. He's all business, so if you're looking for someone to hold your hand and sympathize he may not be for you. He's direct and to the point and gets done what needs to be done. He's the type of lawyer I need...ed for my divorce to get it done and over with. He did really seem to care what was best for my kids and got me full custody and limited visitation to my ex wife (who was a drug user). Highly recommend him if you're looking for a no nonsense lawyer that gets the job done.

Dean worked on my case for months , was paid and then sent a stand in without my consent for the trial. I flew in from another state for this trial and couldn't be bothered to tell me. Run don't walk. Check the ARDC. He is the most unethical attorney , best part is, my brother who is an attorney, who...m he knows, recommended him and he still did that to me!

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
