Guy has the right Last Name!

Mr. Stairs helped me every step of the way up those hard to climb stairs. Walked me through resolution of my (relatively speaking) small case and made me feel important. I have never had an attorney communicate with me more than I communicated with him which allowed me to relax instead of having to w...aste time constantly following up. Mr. Stairs is quite competent, dynamic, and strategic in his approach. The opposing party was tough to deal with but I wasn't worried for a second having him work through this situation with me. It mattered not that I live on an opposite coast. I felt right at home when it came to this matter. His record here speaks for itself as far as I am concerned.

Above and Beyond

I'm wholly satisfied in working with Dean on a Small Claims issue. He is an excellent communicator, proactive and thoughtful. In the end we settled our claim and walked away satisfied with the outcome. Happy to recommend Dean moving forward!

Best Lawyer to work with

I contacted ARAG for a list of lawyers and Kelly happened to be the one has the most years of experiences . I had problems collecting money from HOA since it was damages to my house from rain water and they refused to pay back. Kelly helped ease out my problem from preparing and submitting docs ...to court to how to interact with other party. He was fast in getting back to me via email, phone call and texting. I had less stress while working with Kelly because I knew that things would be done. I am happy that I made a great choice. He is the best of all that I worked with in the field.

Knowledgeable and Thorough

When my roommate issues began I was so unsure of where to turn so I went through AARG in order to get assistance. One of the many recommendations was Kelly Dean Stairs Esq., and this was a blessing to me and to my family as well. From day one of reaching out to Kelly, he was prompt with communicat...ing with me. We would communicate with phone calls and emails and he would always make sure to give me any updates and I would do the same. He would make sure to address my concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was so patient with me during this stressful time. And he provided the assurance that I needed which was knowing the steps we would have to take in court and with our counterclaim. Throughout the negotiation process and court process he was empathetic to my situation and was always present with me. He genuinely cares about each of his clients and the situations that happen. I would recommend Kelly for everyone. If you are looking for a professional and effective attorney Kelly Dean Stairs Esq. is the number one recommendation you should go to. He provided excellent service to me and without his help I wouldn’t have been able to make it through my lawsuit. My family and I are so thankful that he gave us his time. Thank you Kelly.

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.
