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.

Prompt, professional and friendly

Kelly has been a great help in reviewing my kids' college leases over the years (via Arag services). These leases vary all over the place, and Kelly has been very helpful in pointing out areas of concern, non-standard aspects, and even just confirming we understand the standard terms that we are sig...ning-up to. He is prompt, professional and friendly in working your case. I would highly recommend Kelly for your legal needs.

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.

very happy with Kelly

I needed a lawyer to help with a mechanics lien slapped on our house. I phoned a few possible lawyers, and settled on Kelly on the basis of a conversation that convinced me he knew what he was doing and was easy to work with. I have only been pleased with how he handled everything after that, from wr...iting letters, tracking county records, offering strategic advice, keeping me informed, knowing key deadlines, etc. I feel very lucky to have found someone of his caliber just by calling around. Yes, I'd go to him again, without hesitation, if anything similar ever came up.

Above and beyond service

A contractor failed to remove a lien on my house from 1996 after the work was paid for. This showed up during a title search. Kelly contacted the company and proceeded to get them to sign off on the lien. This was over a 6 month period as the contractor dragged their feet and delayed with excuses. K...elly gave me regular updates and followed through to the end.

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.
