This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing experience

First and foremost I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel. When other lawyers said no Dean took the time to look over my case in great detail. Dean worked diligently to settle my case fast. He was attentive and quick to address my concerns and always kept me up to date throughou...t my case without me having to call. He is experienced, knowledgeable, his level of service is top notch, and I would not hesitate to use his services again. If you want results he is definitely the lawer to have on your side.

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.
