Dean Kelly Stairs

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.

When my father died last fall, I had to make the difficult decision to move my life back to Washington state, to support my mother with dementia- so she would not have to move into senior living. Due to circumstances, I had to terminate my lease with the apartment complex where I resided, 7 months ea...rly. The managers at the complex refused to accept my 30 day noticed, because I did not attach money to it. They proceeded to bill me for 7 months, over $18,000, which included late fees and time that I had not yet incurred. I felt the the property management company acted illegally and unethically in their practices, particularly due to the difficult circumstances I was under. I was connected with my first attorney through AARG and while under his representation, the PM company sent me to collections- illegally. Attorney #1 had to drop off my case and this left me hanging without closure. I called AARG again and gratefully, they connected me with Kelly Dean Stairs, Esq. Kelly's professionalism, kindness & care, thoroughness, timeliness, wisdom and tact gave me confidence that I would not be bullied further by the PM Company. Before taking me on as a client, Kelly conducted a lengthy phone consultation with me to better understand the case. I sent Kelly a case summery, that contained the correspondence that had occurred with attorney #1, the leasing and the property management company. Kelly responded back to me after reading my summary and made several recommendations while ensuring that I understood my options and explained what he could do on the case. Kelly followed through with everything he promised. He wrote another letter to the PM Company and continued to try to make contact with them in an attempt to come to a fair agreement. They ignored us, but he continued with attempts to contact them and communicated with me. I suspect that this company did not expect for me to stand up to them. Without Kelly's help, this could have ended up to be a further stressful situation for me, while dealing with personal life stressors with my parents death and health. Kelly stated that should there be new developments, he is willing to work forward with me in the future. I highly recommend Kelly and will definitely work with him in the future, should I need legal services in California. Thank you Kelly! Kelly represented me by writing a demand letter and then monitored the case and correspondence. In California, where the renter does not have the upper hand, I was so very thankful for Kelly.

Working with Dean Stairs was truly a liberating and calming experience. From the outset of our Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, Dean was a pillar of reassurance during those very stressful times. His knowledge, experience, and personal attention were superb. Whenever we had a question, he unfailingly re...sponded to phone calls and emails on the same day. He was not just interested in "the case;" he was (is) interested in us. Our highest recommendation.
