Best Lawyer out there

Attorney Dean successfully, and without issues, adjusted my b1/b2 visa to a green card.

Helpful and reassuring!

I consulted with Atty. Dean almost a year ago and hired him a few weeks later. He was highly recommended by a close friend he'd also helped with her adjustment of immigration status. From day 1, he and his staff were very helpful in explaining everything that's needed to be done and prepared for my c...ase. They were very thorough, making sure nothing was missed, even the smallest detail. He's always available whenever I would need clarification with something as we were going through the process. During the days leading up to my I-485 interview at the USCIS, he was very reassuring and had put me at ease in getting everything I need ready. I highly recommend him for anyone's immigration needs.

Nurse

Atty.Dean is the reason why I'm in America now together with my husband and daughter. We started the EB3 petition way back in 2017 and he had always been transparent and hands on throughout the process. He surely delivers and will not leave anyone hanging.

Rated 5 stars for Dean!

I was lucky to meet him, I was almost giving up for changing my status from an International student to legal visa status because my OPT period was ending up, but my case had not started yet. My co-worker strongly recommended him. When I met Dean, he gave me a right answer and hope that I don't have ...to go back my country nor going back to school. I started working as a nurse, and meanwhile he did all of my paper working. I received working and travel permit right away, and got Interview, and received a green card within 10 months. It was a miracle! I strongly recommend him!

Avvo Rating

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.
