Smart, Funny, and an Expert in DUI
Dean carefully explained every aspect of my case and provided me realistic expectations regarding the process. He never over-promised, nor did he make me feel like I was just a number. He allowed me to make the decisions that were important to my case. I spoke with a lot of attorneys before hiri...

Dean Morgan is without a doubt the best DUI Lawyer in Pennsylvania. His extraordinary breadth of knowledge and experience sets him apart from any other lawyer. He tells you that he is different. More importantly, he shows you that he is different. He practices exclusively in the area of DUI Def...

Smart, Efficient, Compassionate. He saved my job!
I found Dean online. I had received letters from numerous "criminal defense" lawyers who would handle my DUI. Every single one of them told me there was no hope. i would either enter ARD or I would be convicted. I went online to Dean's online DUI Case Evaluation website. Within 10 minutes, I ...

AVOID AT ALL COST
This guy is all talk, and will tell you he's not in it for the money when it's so clear that he is. Unprofessional and suspect on all his credentials based on this experience. He tells me that in my situation it was suitable to go to preliminary hearing so he could go in and review the officer's p...
David, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. However, I believe it would be appropriate to fully inform the reader of your circumstances. Prior to retaining me, you received a comprehensive case evaluation. You quoted this in your review. You received a 40 page legal guide. You received a copy of our case results and client reviews. You received our fee agreement. You were fully advised of your options, including the option to not hire a lawyer if you wished to pursue ARD. You were given the option of hiring me for the entire process or merely for the preliminary hearing. On August 15th, you hired me for the PRELIMINARY HEARING ONLY. This means, after the preliminary hearing, you ceased to be my client. On August 15th, a letter was sent to your address confirming receipt of the payment and my representation. You were provided a copy of the document "Preliminary Hearing Answers." You were advised, "Should you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact me. " During the time between retention and the preliminary hearing, my clients are free to speak with me at a time of their choosing. All they have to do is ask. In fact, many of my clients take advantage of this. YOU NEVER ASKED. Your hearing was scheduled for September 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Due to time constraints imposed in Lancaster County regarding ARD Applications, an unavoidable scheduling conflict occurred. I attended a hearing for another (paying) client at a nearby location. That hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. Unfortunately, a number of unrepresented individuals were scheduled for 8:45. Because they were unrepresented, their process took longer. To move my client's forward, and to do, as we all should expect lawyers to do, I provided pro bono services to an unrepresented person who would otherwise have been screwed by the system. Interestingly, you find fault in this. I think most of my clients (as identified in the 11 5-star reviews) would say this in consistent with my approach to the law. I helped someone who needed help without concern for money. I did apologize to you and to the court for my tardiness. The judge was understanding as was the officer. Until this moment, 3 months later, I thought you were as well. With respect to your case. Your BAC was low. ARD would result in no loss of license and no conviction. Whereas, going to trial in front of a judge sitting alone, would likely result in a conviction which would remain on your criminal record until you are 70 years old. You were advised of your options and you were told that the choice was yours. You have correctly identified that I did nothing for you after the preliminary hearing. As stated above, you only paid for the preliminary hearing. After the preliminary hearing, you were no longer my client. It appears you are under the mistaken impression that I should do work for free. Interestingly, it appears that although you express dissatisfaction over my performance at your hearing, you acknowledge that you subsequently wanted to hire me. Why? Unfortunately, you sought a discount. Let us not forget that you drive a 2014 2014 Mercedes Benz E350. We can agree that you are not suffering from any substantial financial hardship that would necessitate a discount.. We can also agree that the fee I charge pays for my outstanding assistant's salary, my overhead, and most importantly, the food that my children eat. Therefore, your attempts to "negotiate" were met with a denial. Any lawyer without the spine to compromise on something as important as his own fee likely lacks the spine to effectively represent someone in court. And again, we must note that you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz E350. Hardship does not exist. You correctly state that you were advised of the opportunity to find other counsel. You did. I wish you well.
