Amazing Lawyer!

A relative refered us to Mr. Gerardo Lara Dean ,He was truly a blessing to me and my family He educated and helped me,my daughter and wife got our green cards the right way. He stayed with us throughout the process and always responded immediately to our concerns related to our applications. Most i...mportantly, he gets the job done without charging ridiculous fee like those other immigration lawyers in chicago and he will tell you first hand if your case is possible or impossible to fixed. We recommended Him already to our friends and family who need help with their immigration application and all got 100% success! Dean! More power and blessing to Atty. Gerardo Lara Dean.

Nurse

Attorney Dean was hired by my office to help me through the process of adjustment of status and all other things involving green card process. He was fantastic and straight forward. I have since sent someone else to him

Reliable and approachable

Attorney Dean was such a blessing to me. We filed my eb3 petition on July 2019 and got approved by October 2019. He was really knowledgeable, efficient and handle my case very well. I am really glad i hired him as my lawyer. He answers email, phone call and text messages right away. He will expla...in to you in detail every questions you have in mind. If you want to have a stress-free application I will highly recommend his service.

Great, reliable immigration lawyer

Atty. Gerardo Dean filed my EB3 application on April 2016. It got approved on November 2016. Unfortunately, my employer withdrew the petition. At that point, I sought help from an agency in the Philippines but was not successful. I wasted a year from the agency. On August 2018, I contacted Atty.... Dean again and was prompt to reply to my emails and calls. Luckily, he had an ongoing prevailing wage determination on my employer at that time. He refiled my I-140 on the first week of October 2018 and got approved on that same month (premium processing). He successfully recaptured my old priority date, April 2016. I had my interview April 2019 but was placed on administrative processing. He never gave up and followed up my case promptly. I got my visa approved August 2019, just in time for my medical to expire (September 2019). I would highly recommend ATTY. GERARDO L. DEAN as an immigration lawyer. Don't be afraid to send an email inquiry to him, he typically replies to urgent emails right away. I am from Philippines and now living in Illinois, USA. Thank you for not giving up on my case Atty.

Atty Gerry

I recommend attorney Dean because he helped me to become an immigrant here in the USA. The first lawyer that I consulted died because of cancer and I was hopeless on what to do until my case was taken my Atty. Gerry. He helped me in all the process and now, he is currently handling my wife's immigran...t visa. Thank you Atty. for all your help and may God bless you.

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.
