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.

Reliable, Excellent Lawyer

Atty Gerardo Dean was recommended to me by a friend. My tourist visa already expired,Im about to become an illegal and my only resort was to go back to my country and process my immigration there. After a phone consultation, I realized that it is wise to retain him as my lawyer. He responded right a...way and let me know what he could do. He helped me find a sponsor and a job for me. He applied for my visa and I am greatly satisfied because it only took 1 year and four months for me to get my greencard from the first day of our consultation. Proffesional, efficient, knowledgeable and reliable. I appreciate everything that he has done for me. The rapport and guidance was outstanding at all times, prompt, timely and open for calls and quick updates and worked through all of the questions and issues regarding my case. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I highly recommend Atty. Gerardo Dean for his excellent job Please do not hesitate to contact him in any legal matters you might need in the future.

Greencard Issued

Excellent Immigration Atty! He knows what he’s doing and will not sugarcoat and give false hopes. He is very professional and will get the job done on timely manner. I worked with other Atty’s who gave me so much stress and worries about my status but Atty Dean took all them away, had no single heada...che working with him. Thank you Atty for helping me get my greencard!

  • 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.
