One of the best

Rob is one of the most caring, kind, and best attorneys around that you will find. We hired him for my fiance case for a case. First of all, this man not only text me back and forth for hours but returned every single phone call ever made to him. He was always quick efficient and let us know what we ...could expect. Sometimes it wasn't what we wanted to hear but this man is completely 100% honest. Our case did go to trial and Rob fought for us like a champ. We are currently going through an appeals process that he has helped us with as well. If you're looking for an honest attorney pick him. I recommend him to anyone that I know of it's looking for legal help.

Kind and Professional Service for VA Reckless Driving Case

I was charged with Reckless Driving on I-81 in Rockbridge Co, VA on my way to see family for Thanksgiving, clocked at 84/70. I was passing what I deemed to be an unsafe truck on the road and a Sherrif’s Deputy pulled me over. Like most folks, I was unaware that driving in excess of 80 MPH is a crimin...al offense in VA, even though it was less than 20 miles over, and I consider myself a safe driver so I was a bit surprised, but the law is the law. I did some research and eventually emailed Rob Dean. He quickly got back to me via email and we spoke on the phone after the holiday. He let me know the policy of this particular court, that they will automatically reduce the charge to a speeding ticket if no other tickets in the last five years are on your record. Unfortunately, I had a ticket from late 2015 in a different state. Still, Rob counseled to get my car calibrated since it is an older model and informed me that if my speedometer showed the correct speed that the car was going, then there was no reason to retain him since I was going to most likely receive the conviction. But, it turns out that my 2007 model was off, and only then did Rob take my case because he knew he could launch a reasonable defense based on the merits of the case. Rob emailed and called with me with all this guidance before I ever paid anything to retain him for my defense in court. After I retained him for a very reasonable fee, he took care of everything, working with the law enforcement officer to get a new court date and communicating with the court on my behalf. My charge was reduced yesterday to a Speeding citation and I paid the fee plus court costs today. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and I very much recommend Rob Dean for anyone in a similar situation.

Outstanding Lawyer

Mr. Dean handled my case in a very professional manner. A sharp mind as well as a sharp dresser. Very informed. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Could not have been a better outcome. He is very informative, listened to my concerns, and acted upon them in an most expeditious manner. High...ly recommend him and his team. I hope I never need his services in the defense capacity again. But should the need arise, he will be the first and only one I contact. Great job Mr. Dean. Chris P.

Excellent Lawyer and Trustworthy Personality

I ran into trouble on July 2nd, just two days before the July 4th. I was so scary and upset. I searched on the internet for a good lawyer who is professional in criminal practices. The first name appeared was Mr. Dean and I decided to send him a message that summarized all details about my troubles. ...He called me back the next day, offered me a consultation and started to work right immediately. I was impressed because he willingly help me on the holiday. He sent me emails and texts to keep my up to date on my case. We also met at his office to discuss solutions, consequences and next steps of the trial process. It was such a nightmare to me because I am so embarrassed about my accusation, but thanks Goddess he was there to share every concern with me, encouraged me to keep me calm and directed me to go on the right way to get the best results. He fought for me at court and he never gives up. My case was dropped and he would help me to get the case expunged. If anyone has misdemeanor charges or even felony charges, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Dean. He offers the best service as well as affordable prices to help his clients get the best results. I trusted him and he saved my future, my life, and my self-esteem.

Truly an amazing lawyer!

Rob Dean truly is a great lawyer. He's very professional, personable, honest and does as he says. I was never once blindsided by the possibilities i was facing. It was great having someone be so honest and laying everything on the table for me since day one. He was available anytime i had a question ...or concern, he was prompt on returning emails, phone calls or text messages, and he answered any and all questions i had with complete honesty and knowledge. He has very fair rates. He was very helpful, full of knowledge, seasoned, honest and did his best to avoid jail time for me ( he succeeded), and most of all he was very nice to me and my family the entire time. I was truly honored to have him as my defense attorney. If you're in any kind of legal trouble I was contact Rob Dean, he's one of the best and I recommend him to any and everyone. Thank you so much Mr. Dean for everything and for working so diligently on my case and in keeping me out of jail. Thanks to you the case was dismissed and no time in jail!!
