"Working with Dean Taradash was an amazing experience. Like many, I was initially skeptical about how the divorce would unfold—would my attorney be worth the cost? Would he be any good? From the very beginning and throughout my case, Dean demonstrated exceptional expertise and experience. Here are some of Dean Taradash’s strongest qualities: Highly capable and knowledgeable: Dean is an intelligent and experienced attorney who provided clear, practical guidance. He helped me achieve most of what I set out to accomplish in my divorce. Straightforward and direct: He’s upfront and honest—qualities I personally found very relatable and easy to work with, especially as a man navigating a difficult situation. Excellent communication: Dean was responsive and accessible via text, email, and phone whenever I needed him. Fair and reasonable fees: Perhaps most impressive, his fees were extremely reasonable. I can confidently say my ex-wife paid her attorney nearly three times more than I did. Dean also doesn’t nickel-and-dime for every message or email, which was a refreshing change. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dean Taradash to anyone in need of a skilled, no-nonsense divorce attorney."

"Morgan saved me during this process. She is a true professional and she also has so much compassion for her clients. She helped us to keep the case out of court as much as possible and to expedite the process. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Divorce is never easy but I felt very taken care of in this process."
