I was falsely arrested for a felony in Wilton Manors. Jeff Dean advertised in a local paper. He told me to wait for a copy of the police report. After a couple of weeks the charges were more permanently filed by the police and Jeff quit. Just like that. There was a window of opportunity that Jeff missed.

Here are quotes from his emails:

I am getting the arrest affidavit before speaking with any of the witnesses. We want more information about what they said before contacting them. The State Attorney does not yet have any information about the case, but expects to by Tuesday. I am talking with them again on Tuesday. I'll have the arrest affidavit on either Monday or Tuesday.

13 days later: I will refund your money if I do not stay on your case. As we discussed, it appears that my because of my family situation I will not be able to continue on the case.

In my opinion, I don't think there was any "family situation". He never gave me the arrest affidavit as promised. I don't trust Jeff Dean. I would never recommend him as a lawyer. In my opinion, it seemed like he was working for the other side.

You should ask him what was his urgent family situation around November 30, 2012 and verify it.

Two years later the charges against me were dropped when a video was found on youtube that showed the false victim and the witnesses were lying.

I hired Jeff Dean when my family member was arrested for domestic violence. Mr. Dean quickly intervened with the State's Attorney and explained why my family member should not be charged. He was then promptly released from jail with no charges ever filed! Besides being a great criminal lawyer, Mr. Dean is honest and nice and I feel that he really cares about his clients.
