Posted by Lachaz | February 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Unprofessional. Not a man of his word. Will waste your time.

I hired Mr. Dean to represent me for a petty larceny case. He was supposed to send me the paperwork so he can replace my public defender. He never sent that email. I did not have the full $500 up front to retain him but I offered him $470 in cash and to pay him the rest at a later date. He complained... about $30. He told me he will speak to the prosecutor to examine the evidence and get in touch with me by 02/03/2017. So I called that following monday simce I have not heard anything back. I told the secretary that Mr. Dean was supposed to contact me that friday and he did not. I asked his secretary if Mr. Dean spoke to the prosecutor yet. She could not give me a clarified answer. She kept on making excuses for him for not being able to contact me on that friday. I told both, her and Mr. Dean, that this is a serious matter to me because it is affecting my future employment. I asked if Mr. Dean could give me 5-10 min of his day to call me to clarify on what his secretary meant. I was working in a warehouse at the time I was speaking to the secretary so because of the noise she thought I was angry with her, in which I was not. Mr. Dean went did not hear the conversation but took her word that I was being rude. He then used my past charges against me to condemn me or judge me for the person I am. Although all those charges he spoke of were dismissed or nolle prosecui, he still seem like he was judging me. He wasted my time and refunded me my money since he said I was being rude. I even offered to apologize to the secretaty fornthis misunderstanding but he wouldn't allow me. He was also cursing and trying speak to me as a parent does his child. He would not even LISTEN to my side of the story. He was vey unprofessional and if he have called to tell me he needed more time to talk to the prosecutor then I would've been okay with that. I know my opinion or comment may not pull much weight but I had to let my side ofnthe story be heard since he would notneven give me the chance to explain. I wasted time that I can not get back and have to find another lawyer on short notice. When he saw my record, I think he already had his mind of what type of person I was although he do not know the full story behind those charges. To me, a lawyer is not supposed to be judgemental to their client.

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.

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!

Speeding ticket

I live in New York and got a speeding ticket in Virginia. I was very stressed out about it and every lawyer I had spoken to were extremely expensive and rob dean was the only one that charged me a reasonable price and worked me. He answered all of my questions and did everything he could to help my c...ase get dismissed to a lower traffic violation! Thanks to him I able to stay home and not have to drive or fly back to Virginia and go to court because he did all the work for me!

Reckless Driving Ticket

Rob Dean made the entire hassle of getting a reckless driving ticket extremely easy. After getting clocked going 89 in a 70, I contacted Rob Dean's office and they took care of rescheduling and attending my court date. All I had to do was get a speedometer calibration on my vehicle. Turns out it was ...about 4-5 mph off, so my speed read around 85 on my speedometer when I got pulled over. Rob was able to use this information, as well as my clean driving record to get the ticket knocked down a standard speeding ticket (70-79). I was able to get the potential misdemeanor off my record with little hassle. The Rob Dean law firm was very professional about the whole process and charged a very fair fee to take my case. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone.
