Prompt and Thorough Communicator

Dean was an invaluable ally in navigating a complex relocation assistance situation. Despite the landlord's initial ignorance of the law, Dean's expertise and guidance led to a swift and successful resolution, securing the full relocation expenses without a fight. His knowledge and advice were essent...ial in a situation that was entirely new to me. I highly recommend his services.

Amazing Attorney

Unfortunately I was looking for an attorney to help with a mold issue in my a house I rent. Dean was top notch from the moment we spoke and never failed to amaze me. He went above and beyond throughout my entire case. He never hesitated to answer any questions I had. From start to finish I had no dou...bt I was in good hands! I would recommend 100%.

Security Deposit

Dean recovered my security deposit quickly. He is extremely professional and efficient. Maintained communication from initial contact until the matter was resolved.

Extremely responsive and professional!

Gratefully, Mr. Stairs guided me through an awkward rental / landlord situation. I am the renter. He provided thoughtful, wise, professional counsel, and his written communication to the other attorney involved was beautifully and extremely well done. In my communication with Mr. Stairs, I felt he...ard, valued and respected. Mr. Stairs was consistently quick to respond in a most professional manner. I highly and completely recommend him.

Very helpful

Dean was great to work with. I had questions about my tenant rights as they related to my security deposit return. Dean listened to my concerns and questions and provided solid advice and guidance on the law and my rights as a tenant. We were able to get the amount that was taken out of my security d...eposit refunded in a matter of a few short weeks. I would definitely call on Dean again if needed!
