Highly Responsive and Knowledgable

I hired Dean to represent me in a Small Claims claim against Choice Home Warranty, who were reneging on an obvious covered plumbing claim. I wrote letters than Dean reviewed and with his help I filed an appeal with the company and a BBB complaint; I did not threaten the company while waiting for the ...result of this more diplomatic approach. After much back and forth with the company, they agreed to pay the claim, negating the need to go to court. Dean advised me along the way, and I am very satisfied with his advice and effort, as he was response to my emails usually within a day, even though we spanned the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Chapter 7

I highly recommend Dean Stairs if you ever have to deal with bankruptcy. He provided outstanding knowledge and partners with you to get you through the process. He's exceptional with communication and always lets you know what the next step is. I am overly impressed with the 5-star service and profe...ssionalism he provided.

I'm totally satisfied!

Unlike the majority of lawyers with whom I've dealt, he did not take a week to return calls and let things continue to drag. Instead, he was very prompt and also kept me posted very well. He was also very thorough. I got a very good resolution of my case.

An outstanding lawyer. Highly recommended.

This is an appreciation of the outstanding legal advice and help that we have received from Mr Dean Stairs. We asked for his guidance in dealing with a recurrent boundary problem with a neighbor which had lingered over many months. Mr Stairs listened to us very carefully, requested relevant details, ...analyzed the problem immediately and politely gave us valuable information on how to proceed. When the neighbor did not respond to our implementation of the advice he gave us, Mr Stairs wrote a superbly composed, courteous but firm letter (copied to us) that requested the neighbor to correct the boundary problem by a specified date and explained the legal consequences of not doing so. The neighbor then complied immediately by rectifying the problem and has not caused us any further difficulty. Mr Stairs is very accessible, calls back promptly and listens patiently to the client without interrupting. His manner is very pleasant and supportive. We consider him to be a highly competent, efficient professional who achieves results and we will certainly continue to seek his help and advice whenever needed.
