Legit, Hassle free and very efficient team

We started my husband’s EB3 application in the philippines. We’re all now in the US. (With 3 kids) Attorney Dean and his team were really helpful, accommodating and very knowledgeable in this field. They guide us step by step and gave thorough explanation of what to do and what will happen in the pro...cess. My husband’s PERM was already approved this november and now processing I-140 and soon the I-485, EAD And AP. They also processed my F1 student visa and was approved this november as well. We just can’t thank them enough for the top notch service. We’re beyond grateful for their hardwork and always making sure we’re on the right track. It is really worth the wait. Thank you very much Attorney Dean and Team. God Bless you more!

Fast immigration process and Friendly staff

My husband and I would like to thank Atty.Dean, Ms. LJ, and all the staffs who assisted us from step 1 up to the approval of my green card. Your office is very friendly, supportive and guided us all throughout the application process. Thank you for quick responses and clear explanations for each ques...tions that we asked. They make sure that we’re guided accordingly and keep us updated with the progress of my application. And because of that, I got my Green card in just few months. Again thank you very much. May you help more people with their American dream. God bless.

Fast, Efficient and Reliable! Highly Recommended

Atty Dean, LJ, Ria and the rest of the team were very helpful. They gathered all requirements, filled out forms and submitted all the documents within less than a month. Ria also notified me every time there was an update on any of my cases. Speedy approval! Thank you so much, Atty Dean and team!

Swift Immigration Processing

Atty. Dean helped me with my immigration to the US in less than a year after passing the NCLEX. I didn’t encounter any bad experience towards him and his staff. The process went smoothly. I was just hands-on with submitting my documents to them and then the rest of my application was handled by him. ...Communicating was easy as he and his staff were approachable and responsive through e-mail. He talks professionally and explains everything thoroughly. I would highly recommend Atty. Dean for whoever wants to have a hassle-free immigration process.

The Best Lawyer I ever met.

So far, Atty Gerardo L. Dean is the best lawyer I have ever met. The most patient, competent, attentive, efficient and a very professional one. He processed and handled my 3 children petitions under EB3. He is very approachable, always answers the phone anytime of day even after office hours.... He is always able to address my concerns and give advises. Because of his dedication to his work, my 3 kids were able to work and savor their american dreams. I am so grateful of him, that's why I highly recommend Atty. Gerardo L. Dean when it comes to immigration matters.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
