Services of Atty Gerardo Lara Dean

I availed of Atty Dean's services for a couple of times, Visitor's Visa Extension, Working Visa, Renewal of Working Visa and latest is Immigrant Visa, they were all approved. The Immigrant Visa is a bit difficult, it requires my petitioner to get approval for alien worker. It was not easy because i...t needs justification that there is no available person in US to fill up the job offered to me. Atty Dean help me a lot. Big thanks Atty Dean!

We were lucky to know Atty Dean. He helped me and my husband get our green cards. I had a complicated situation with my previous employer, but he managed to get us through it. Forever thankful to him.

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!

Atty Dean worked on my adjustment status as relative of a US citizen. Paper works & added requirements were done and submitted on time speeding up the process despite of the pandemic. He was always available for consultations whether on the phone or in person. I will give him a five star rating .

Helped me tremendously!

No one helped me with my case like Atty. Gerardo Dean did. He gave me hope when he told me my case was current and I could do something about it as soon as possible. I thought I had to wait until my wife had to become a citizen before I could apply for permanent residency, I was wrong. He walked me t...hrough the process. His consultation was free of charge and reassured me of great result. I heard excellent reviews from him before and so I decided to have him work on my case. My wife and I have had some advice from other lawyers before that went nowhere and we got charged very expensive fees. He’s the best immigration lawyer my wife and I have ever talked to and I highly recommend it to anyone who desperately needs help with their situation. HE IS THE PERSON WHO CAN HELP YOU. He is very easy to reach and will make time for you to answer your questions and will give you the best advice on your case! The fees are affordable too! My wife had a bad experience with others who were very hard to contact/took a long time to respond to her case. My wife and I couldn’t believe it when my case got approved and I am finally happy to say that I belong to this country as a green card holder. If there is a lawyer out there who can help you and give you the best advice, it is Atty. Gerardo Dean.

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.
