Even though my divorce was relatively uncomplicated, it still came with its own baggage of shock and anxiety. Dean and his team helped me through every step of the process, patiently answering my questions, directing me to next steps. My enquiries were always met with a timely response.

This attorney was nothing short of unprofessional, ignorant and incompetent! Extremely disrespectful with lack of integrity! I do not recommend him for any legal matters! I had absolutely the WORST EXPERIENCE in my entire life dealing with him. The actions that he displayed were unbelievable. He should be disbarred for his actions.

I contacted Mr. Taradash over four years ago in a very desperate and lost situation. He assured me that he knew how to help. Even through a very messy divorce process which is ongoing, he has stood by in the most understanding patient way possible. Someone I've been able to trust. Just recently acquiring a 2 year plenary protection order for myself and my son. It's all still sinking in. I'm grateful that Dean was recommended to me by a peer whom also showered him with accolades. I can't imagine having navigated my case with a better counsel. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Dean.

The greatest attorney and friend who fought for me during my trial. He is straight up and like a father fighting for you . Thank you Mr. ENGELLAND for your support,,,God bless you and if you ever need any help in life just let me know...from A.G ,big Fs friend of ours from the old neighborhood from the Grand Ave familia in Chicago

After having my consultation with Dean, I knew that he was the best for for me! He is compassionate, understanding and fierce. He was always straightforward with me and answered my questions with honesty. My ex was very difficult to work with, but Dean knew exactly how to handle any situations that arose. There were kids involved and the divorce was a nasty battle, but he always handled it with dignity and was always very respectful. He is there for you in the long-run, even after the divorce is finalized. He will continue to answer questions and guide you down the right path. He is amazing in court and always fought for what was right for myself and for the kids. It's evident that he is in this to seek out what is in the best interests of his client. I highly recommend Dean to anyone that needs help with navigating life during such a hard time!

Dean knows how to fight and get you the positive outcome that you and your family deserve. He knows how to apply the law and is incredible at strategizing. Dean understood the ultimate goal my family had and worked flawlessly to execute it. I was blindsided by a court order that held me in contempt. It was a difficult situation, and I was desperate to find a great, reliable attorney who would not only fight for me but would help resolve an issue that for years threatened the financial future of my only child. I wanted this to be over quickly and for good. After spending sleepless nights researching best divorce attorneys, the stars aligned and I was blessed to find Dean, who never left my side since then. While sifting through several years' worth of emails and listening to me sharing every detail of information, Dean was relentlessly patient, took it all in, analyzed it, developed a plan of action and masterfully created motions that refuted every allegation. After having attended every hearing for the last seven years, Dean gave me comfort in knowing that I don’t have to be present at a status hearing. He took charge and handled everything. We were dealing with a difficult, uncooperative ex, who wanted only money. Dean saw right through him, and with his unmatched wit, no nonsense approach and incredibly sharp intellect, Dean put an end to the abusive cycle once it for all by tactfully creating a settlement that eventually won back what was rightfully ours. Despite all of his great qualities, Dean is still affordable. I wished I would have met Dean years ago. In just a few months, Dean accomplished what five previous attorneys couldn't do in seven years. Dean could have stopped others from taking advantage and could have given back to me the life that my family deserved to have. I highly recommend Dean to anyone who’s uncertain about finding a high-quality attorney, to those who have lost hope, to those who are tired of spending their life’s savings on attorneys and having their sanity being dragged through continuances and trivial motions. Dean Taradash is a moral and ethical attorney who is the best advocate you will ever have because he cares about his clients. He has a passion for the job, he is a master at communicating, he is incredibly responsive with a calm and level-headed demeanor and has a trustworthiness and emotional awareness about him like no other attorney I have ever seen. He helped me walk away with my dignity and became an example for my child. Dean changed the course of our lives and he’s got the gift and unmatched talent to change yours.

Been reliable for my family for over 30 years!

As you will find out if you become involved in a divorce proceeding in Illinois, the law and the system here treat those involved poorly. The only solution is to find a lawyer, who is honest, and knows how to get the job done efficiently. Mr. Taradash enabled me to bypass a tremendous amount of painful, expensive time and money wasting which my ex-wife's gutter attorney was constantly pushing me into. In the end, we legally and honorably humiliated possibly the sleaziest lawyer in Chicago and reached a favorable settlement with her so that she did not receive a reward for her vile behavior during the marriage. Mr. Taradash quoted me a figure at the outset, and I never even saw a bill. The closest thing I got to a bill was a text saying, "We're square." If you think you will be able to find another attorney like that, good luck. I am truly grateful to him for protecting me from the malice of that gutter attorney and my ex-wife both in terms of my assets and not having to deal with them.

Wonderful law firm

Jay Johnson was extremely helpful with my case. He called anytime there was an update. He is incredibly detailed and understanding. Thank you for all your help! I highly recommend this law group!

In addition to knowing his stuff, Dean was very supportive during a process that was emotionally difficult. He listened and helped me every step of the way in the divorce process. Dean was very responsive and everything was handled very professionally. Highly recommend.
