She is the best! I send everyone to her!
She got everything my husband wanted from parenting time down to the correct statements in court we didn't know about.. Also a warrant we didn't know about and don't understand how she helped with that too.. I will go to her for everything.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE YOUR CASE ALONE
Get to Know Lakisha N. Dean, Esq.
Before I begin to tell you about my academic awards and achievements, I want to take a moment to tell you that I've stood in your shoes.
I truly appreciate how intimidating the legal process can be to clients who are fighting to protect their interests, and those of their children.
As a witness to domestic violence and the child of a broken home, I know all too well the emotional and physical journey to create a new vision for your life.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PASSION
Why I Chose Family Law
I was drawn into Family law because of my own personal circumstances.
My three month old nephew was placed up for adoption without my brother's consent. He was placed with a family in Canada before we even knew he was missing. My entire family was devastated and didn't have a clue about what to do next.
As the only attorney in the family, everyone looked to me for answers. I had never touched a family law case before except for a clinic in law school.
This time, there was so much at stake.
Needless to say, I was scared to lose him and knew I had to do whatever I could.
I started in Family Court in NY and worked my way to Canada to pick him up almost three months later!
Although, it was probably the scariest thing I have every done, it was by far the most rewarding. This helped me realize that my potential is so much greater than my fears.
Every time I look at my nephew, I am reminded at how blessed I am to have been able to earn a law degree to help others.
This personal story of triumph is what fuels my passion to be a compassionate legal advocate. One who strives for a holistic solution to the situation, rather than just a legal one.
Here is What My Clients Have to Say
