Messed up my case, refused to fix his mistakes

Absolutely stay away from this crook. The worst lawyer in Chicagoland. He is careless, rude and not a person you want your immigration case to be handled. Unfortunately, I was referred to him by a few friends. He provided false information on my application, of course my case got denied, he refused t...o fix it and write appeal with expiration of a purposeful mistake, got nasty, however was quick enough to take payment in full!!!! Took me a lot of time money and effort to got it fixed by another attorney in NY. Do not use him, save your money and time. He is disgurting individual

Best Immigration Attorney

I will forever be grateful to Attorney Dean and his team for helping me fulfill my American dream. I am a registered nurse by profession and have not practiced for several years, just when I was about to give up on my dreams, I came across Atty. Dean and his team. They are very professional and knowl...edgable and have answered all of my questions from the get go. They always keep you updated and will guide you through your entire immigration journey. My family and I are now in the US all thanks to them. I highly recommend Atty. Dean and his team to all registered nurses who need assistance for their US immigration.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
