Messed up my case, refused to fix his mistakes

Absolutely stay away from this crook. The worst lawyer in Chicagoland. He is careless, rude and not a person you want your immigration case to be handled. Unfortunately, I was referred to him by a few friends. He provided false information on my application, of course my case got denied, he refused t...o fix it and write appeal with expiration of a purposeful mistake, got nasty, however was quick enough to take payment in full!!!! Took me a lot of time money and effort to got it fixed by another attorney in NY. Do not use him, save your money and time. He is disgurting individual

American dream made possible by Atty Dean!

It was an answered prayer 5 years ago when a classmate introduced me to Atty.Dean. He made my American dream come true! He is the kind of lawyer who is not directly working for money but with pure intention of helping nurses from the Philippines in reaching their dreams.I can truly attest how kind h...earted and considerate Atty.Dean is. We were financially drained at that time, making it hard to settle all the fees, but he did not asked upfront the whole amount of his legal fee. Instead, he let me pay half only and the remaining balance in staggered payment as I started earning. And with that, I am beyond grateful to Atty.Dean. Many more blessings to you as you continue to fulfill the dreams of many nurses back home!

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.

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.

You get what you paid for... nothing more

I hired this lawyer for my immigration case and he made a couple of mistakes on our case that shouldnt have happened. I think he felt embarrassed on the things that happened and just wanted our case to be over without admitting to the mistakes. He still took our money and didn't give proper explanati...on on our question. It was a very disappointing experience and I hope you'll think before hiring him. He is cheaper than other attorney's but he will not take care of your case with care.

This anonymous client is known to me. He retained my services to prepare and file his adjustment application as derivative beneficiary-spouse of the principal beneficiary in an employment-based immigrant petition who recently entered the US on immigrant visa. The USCIS returned his applications because at that time, his principal's green card was not yet available. I didn't have the chance to pursue this matter because he asked me to return his complete file. I returned not only his documents but the money he gave, IN-FULL. At this point in time, the principal beneficiary already received her green card. With a copy of his principal's green card now forming part of his supporting documents, his adjustment application as derivative beneficiary was finally accepted by the USCIS and is now pending determination.
