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.

Dean is the best family and divorce lawyer and you want him in your team. Dean is helping me get through a very difficult time. Dean is highly effective and competent attorney. He delivers result better than other attorneys and charges many times lower than other attorneys. I have found Dean to be v...ery direct, and he keeps the discussion focused on what is important for the case. He knows the law very well, tells you the range of outcome based on law, and doesn’t overpromise. I would highly recommend Dean anyone going through divorce before wasting your money with other attorneys. Also – Dean is always available when I have a question or I need to talk to him.

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!

Divorce is such a hard experience for anyone to go through that having a level headed, experienced, and well spoken attorney provides such a benefit for a multitude of reasons. Dean Taradash is all of those things. He knows Illinois family law forward and backwards. He also provides wonderful coun...sel. His recommendations for my case were made with my future benefit and my children's benefit at the core. I never felt that anything he was doing was meant to prolong my case, or cause any agitation to me or my ex. He was always polite in all interactions with me, my ex, and the opposing counsel. But he also never gave up any ground that he felt I deserved. If it is possible (and it was because I witnessed him do this on many occasions for my behalf), he was able to negotiate my settlement calmly and very effectively even when faced with opposing counsel who did not share his level of good manners. I always felt that he was in my corner working out the best case scenario for me and my kids. Although my divorce was the worst experience in my life, Dean's counsel made it much less worse than it could have been. I cannot say enough positive things about him. He is not just a good attorney, but also a wonderfully good person.

Called Dean several times before starting an agreement and he helped in so many ways to make sure the best steps were taken to ensure my outcome. Based on a very fast timeline he was able to guide me and counsel my ex with the best care and always was available 24/7 to help with any issues that could... arise during the process. Above all he is a true expert of the law and maintains nearly perfect counsel for a wide range of scenarios in divorce. If you need a lawyer that is going to go above the call of duty and be extremely cost effective and transparent than he is the best.
