Who you want in your corner when the fight gets going

Alicia literally saved my financial future. I had to leave a job I loved due to injury and Alicia was there every step of the way. She found that I had not been correctly processed and guided me on the steps to disability. She saved what is now my monthly income and allowed me to be comfortable in ...my post-working life.

Alicia Dearn is a top-notch attorney and businessperson!

I always enjoy speaking with Alicia because she always has great insights! She has helped me out in numerous situations and has most recently helped me out with legal representation in a matter involving a Tenant-Landlord relationship. She is great!

Excellent, fast and friendly service

Alicia was very helpfull when I needed professional advise. I needed her services fast and I was able to meet with her the next day to get her advise on a delicate matter. The matter was resolved in a couple of weeks and I was finally able to get some decent sleep. Thank you Alicia, I will recommend ...you to anybody needing advice in your field.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
