Solved a Privacy Issue That Others Could Not

As a retired California law enforcement officer, I discovered that BlockShopper was publishing my name, home address, and personal information online. Despite my own efforts—including multiple written demands and complaints to both the California and Illinois Attorneys General—the information remaine...d posted. After retaining Mr. Stairs, he promptly reviewed the matter and sent a demand letter on my behalf. The result was immediate. BlockShopper contacted him directly and agreed to remove my information, accomplishing what months of my own efforts had failed to achieve. Throughout the process, Mr. Stairs was knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and highly effective. He understood both the legal issues and the personal safety concerns involved. His guidance gave me confidence that the matter was being handled properly, and his advocacy produced the result I was seeking. After 30 years in law enforcement, I have learned to appreciate professionals who are thorough, persistent, and results-oriented. Mr. Stairs exemplifies those qualities. I am extremely grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing skilled legal representation.

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%.

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.
