Excellent!

We have a wonderful partnership with Dean Lederer. Dean has served as our Workers Compensation attorney for many years. He is always willing to explain our options while keeping our best interest in mind; both monetary & strategically. He also takes the time to educate our team & answer all of our qu...estions. He is successful in resolving our cases & does a great job at hearing/trial. He also brings a sense of humor to our discussions which is appreciated in the area of workers compensation.

Safety Director

Dean has been an amazing attorney for our company, defending our companies interest like they were his own. His skill, experience, and professionalism clearly set him apart from other attorneys we've used. He has great communication skills, is extremely organized and prepared, has great strategie...s on challenging claims, and always makes himself available. Couldn't ask for a better partner.

Dean Lederer

I have worked with Dean for years on several workers' compensation cases. He is agressive, professional and knowledgeable. He has resolved the claims on extremely favorable terms. I would recommend him to any client.

Though we are on opposing sides, Mr. Lederer has always treated me with respect. He practices law the way that all attorneys should practice with reasonableness and fairness."

"Second to none for workers' compensation defense. I have had the privilege and pleasure of working opposite Dean on workers' compensation claims for many years. He is a formidable adversary who consistently offers his clients vigorous and diligent representation. In baseball, Jackie Bradley, Jr., is a Gold Glove defensive center fielder; Dean is the equivalent in workers' compensation defense."

  • 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.
