You cannot get a better civil attorney.

Dean Janis was kind enough to take my case, a very long, drawn out, never-ending divorce from an attorney, after the original attorneys found a conflict of interest that would complicate my position. My divorce was extremely complicated and had been in progress for 4 years at the time Dean took over... in 2008. He caught up very quickly and has consistently given expert advice on the civil part of the divorce…as opposed to the family court part. The divorce is handled by my divorce attorney and Dean handles the civil unrest that falls my way as he is a master at that. He is professional and highly intelligent and gets to the crux of any matter very easily. With his help, the divorce took a dramatic turn in our favor and remains moving forward. He is easy to get a hold of…phone or email…and will always reply to you. I have unwavering trust in him. You cannot get a better civil attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Dean handled a very complicated case for me, single-handedly going up against one of the biggest law firms in San Diego (200+ attorneys) – and won! He is knowledgeable and aggressive when he needs to be and honest to a fault. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

"I have worked with Dean on numerous matters, including a lengthy trial. Dean is a whip-smart litigator, who combines deep knowledge of the litigation process with a common sense understanding of business. He is creative, quick on his feet, and, perhaps most importantly, able to work with clients to develop the solutions that are right for them. Although Dean takes his work very seriously, he retains a healthy sense of humor, which makes him someone you won't mind spending long hours with on a tense case. I wholeheartedly recommend Dean if you are looking for an honest, skilled, and smart litigator."
