Excellent Attorney / Fantastic Service

Dean and his office staff helped me out when I was in a pinch last minute and it made a world of difference for my confidence going into the courtroom, as well as the results of the ruling. I called his offices with very last minute notice and they were prompt with their reply. I couldn't be happier ...with the service and highly recommend working with Mr. Taradash if you're in need. He's knowledgeable, professional, and understanding.

Responsive and Knowledgeable

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!

Definitely Recommended

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.

Dedication and Easy Process

It was great working with Dean Taradash and his team. Everything was done in a timely fashion, and I received documents related to my case immediately after they were prepared or entered in court. My phone calls and emails were returned immediately. The best part about my experience with Dean’s offic...e was that I did not have to come into their office once. I live in Indiana so it would have been a long commute if Dean needed me to come in, but he was able to do everything by communicating with me through the telephone and email. This was amazing. The only time I had to come to Chicago was for my last court date when my divorce was finalized. Even then, Dean amazed me by his court room presence and organization. Everything went very smoothly and he was very well informed about the law and my case. The dedication by Dean and his staff was really great. I really enjoyed Dean’s representation of me.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

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.
