Working with Dean Taradash was an amazing experience. Like many, I was initially skeptical about how the divorce would unfold—would my attorney be worth the cost? Would he be any good? From the very beginning and throughout my case, Dean demonstrated exceptional expertise and experience. Here are ...some of Dean Taradash’s strongest qualities: Highly capable and knowledgeable: Dean is an intelligent and experienced attorney who provided clear, practical guidance. He helped me achieve most of what I set out to accomplish in my divorce. Straightforward and direct: He’s upfront and honest—qualities I personally found very relatable and easy to work with, especially as a man navigating a difficult situation. Excellent communication: Dean was responsive and accessible via text, email, and phone whenever I needed him. Fair and reasonable fees: Perhaps most impressive, his fees were extremely reasonable. I can confidently say my ex-wife paid her attorney nearly three times more than I did. Dean also doesn’t nickel-and-dime for every message or email, which was a refreshing change. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dean Taradash to anyone in need of a skilled, no-nonsense divorce attorney.

Dean knows how to fight and get you the positive outcome that you and your family deserve. He knows how to apply the law and is incredible at strategizing. Dean understood the ultimate goal my family had and worked flawlessly to execute it. I was blindsided by a court order that held me in contemp...t. It was a difficult situation, and I was desperate to find a great, reliable attorney who would not only fight for me but would help resolve an issue that for years threatened the financial future of my only child. I wanted this to be over quickly and for good. After spending sleepless nights researching best divorce attorneys, the stars aligned and I was blessed to find Dean, who never left my side since then. While sifting through several years' worth of emails and listening to me sharing every detail of information, Dean was relentlessly patient, took it all in, analyzed it, developed a plan of action and masterfully created motions that refuted every allegation. After having attended every hearing for the last seven years, Dean gave me comfort in knowing that I don’t have to be present at a status hearing. He took charge and handled everything. We were dealing with a difficult, uncooperative ex, who wanted only money. Dean saw right through him, and with his unmatched wit, no nonsense approach and incredibly sharp intellect, Dean put an end to the abusive cycle once it for all by tactfully creating a settlement that eventually won back what was rightfully ours. Despite all of his great qualities, Dean is still affordable. I wished I would have met Dean years ago. In just a few months, Dean accomplished what five previous attorneys couldn't do in seven years. Dean could have stopped others from taking advantage and could have given back to me the life that my family deserved to have. I highly recommend Dean to anyone who’s uncertain about finding a high-quality attorney, to those who have lost hope, to those who are tired of spending their life’s savings on attorneys and having their sanity being dragged through continuances and trivial motions. Dean Taradash is a moral and ethical attorney who is the best advocate you will ever have because he cares about his clients. He has a passion for the job, he is a master at communicating, he is incredibly responsive with a calm and level-headed demeanor and has a trustworthiness and emotional awareness about him like no other attorney I have ever seen. He helped me walk away with my dignity and became an example for my child. Dean changed the course of our lives and he’s got the gift and unmatched talent to change yours.

As you will find out if you become involved in a divorce proceeding in Illinois, the law and the system here treat those involved poorly. The only solution is to find a lawyer, who is honest, and knows how to get the job done efficiently. Mr. Taradash enabled me to bypass a tremendous amount of pai...nful, expensive time and money wasting which my ex-wife's gutter attorney was constantly pushing me into. In the end, we legally and honorably humiliated possibly the sleaziest lawyer in Chicago and reached a favorable settlement with her so that she did not receive a reward for her vile behavior during the marriage. Mr. Taradash quoted me a figure at the outset, and I never even saw a bill. The closest thing I got to a bill was a text saying, "We're square." If you think you will be able to find another attorney like that, good luck. I am truly grateful to him for protecting me from the malice of that gutter attorney and my ex-wife both in terms of my assets and not having to deal with them.

My ex dragged me into another battle. I knew this time I could not negotiate my way out of avoiding court and that I needed an attorney who could eloquently represent me and my son in front of the Judge. Dean did 3 huge things that caused us to be very successful. 1.) He help calm me down, I had a lo...t of fear and anxiety. 2.) Dean's focused on talking me through what was important for my son and how flexible we could be in order to make a favorable deal. 3.) Dean was a rock star in front of the Judge, Dean was born to do this. Dean was always two steps in front of the opposition. Dean is extremely composed, unemotional and logical and knows when to strike. Dean's emotional IQ is off the charts. I highly recommend Dean Taradash.
