Traffic offense

I contacted Rob concerning a speeding ticket I received going through Virginia to DC. I had received letters from various attorneys about my case and Rob's really caught my eye. He was extremely helpful in detailing what I could expect from him and the best/worst case scenarios of my case. I felt ...very comfortable in retaining him as my lawyer and all phone and online communications were answered promptly and professionally.

Cannot thank you enough.

My daughter, who has been extremely sheltered and homeschooled most of her life, had never been in any trouble other than simple sibling rivalry. Something possessed her to shoplift makeup. Over $200 is grand larceny, a felony in Virginia. She spent 3 terrifying days in jail. I hired Rob Dean inition...ally because he looked like a friendly face and I felt my girl would need at least one in her corner. What I got was not only that, but, a man who let me cry all over him. When we went to court, we got a horrific prosecutor, one who stood there and called my daughter, a girl she didn't know anything about "a stupid kid." She was determined to make an example of her. Even though I knew it was her job I couldn't help but become amazed at our attorney after I said that I knew she was simply doing her job. You see, underneath that friendly face was an amazing spine made of steel and his heart wanted real justice. He was genuinely outraged on my daughters behalf. He didn't feel the prosecutor was giving due diligence. He fought like a tiger for us because he could see she is truly a good girl who had made a terrible mistake in judgement. I highly HIGHLY recommend this man. He's a rare one and you can count on him every step of the way.

Son's reckless driving charge

My son got ticketed in Botetourt County for reckless driving by speed above 80. Not good. This was one week after receiving his official license from the judge in Roanoke County. I immediately began speaking with attorney friends who unfortunately aren't local. However, they gave me some advice on... searching for a good attorney. I spoke with several attorneys. I don't remember if I stumbled on Rob Dean or if he was recommended to me specifically. However, when I spoke with him, I felt like he was very kind and honest and while price wasn't my primary concern, it was very reasonable. He gave me advice on what to do to help my son achieve the best outcome. I was already doing a lot of it... like I said, I have friends who are attorneys, but his advice was consistent with the advice I had received and he offered some additional. Also, his insight into the local courts here I am sure was helpful. Throughout the process we spoke on the phone a few times and exchanged emails several times as I worked to get the various things he needed and send them his way. In the end, my son's reckless driving ticket was taken under a twelve month advisement. If my son can stay out of trouble and not receive any more tickets for twelve months, and I have no doubt he's learned his lesson, the entire thing will be dismissed. Fingers crossed. Rob Dean was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Helped with ticket

My wife received a ticket in southern VA. It was a reckless driving offense. We started receiving multiple letters from a lot of different attorneys. Being that we were over 6 hours away from the court house, an attorney seemed like a good alternative. What caught mine and my wife’s attention about R...ob’s letter is that it did not read like an infomercial. Rob was very professional. He did not make any promises and told me what my options were and pretty much hit the nail on the head on what he thought what the outcome would probably be. Thank you Rob for your services!

Awesome service from afar!

I got a speeding ticket on rural Virginia and the ticket wanted me to appear in person. Upon investigation, I learned the best course of action would be to get a lawyer. I called all around and Rob Dean was the best one and the most sincere. He mentioned he used to be a prosecutor and that sealed it.... I knew he could help. He listened to my full story about why I happened to be where I was and why I was speeding. He helped advocate for me and saved me hundreds of dollars I the long run. My ticket was dismissed after paying some fees and taking a driving course. I had to keep a clean record for 6 months which I did. So as long as you're not a trouble maker just made an honest mistake, he's your man. I was very satisfied. I couldn't find the specific course the judge wanted and he was able to help me. Long after the actual court appearance he continued to help when needed. Thank you Rob Dean for your services!
