About Dean
Dean S. Dussias: Experienced Family Law Attorney in Chicago
A practitioner in the area of family law for over 30 years, Dean Dussias has built his reputation by representing entrepreneurs, executives and other prominent clients in high profile and financially complicated cases with a careful, discreet approach that solves problems and mitigates risks. While there are some cases involving children or unforeseen financial roadblocks that present unavoidable delays, Dean has learned from his vast experience that in most cases, the best approach is a pragmatic, business-minded plan. All too often, lawyers spend years in litigation only to have their clients come to a result that’s the same, if not actually worse, than the deal that two properly-counseled clients could have reached very early on in their case. Dean’s singular focus for his clients is to get them out of the divorce process and help them move forward. Sometimes that happens as a result of mediation or a negotiated settlement; other times it’s a longer process of litigation or cleaning up a previous lawyer’s mess. However it goes, though, Dean’s clients know that he’s their “get it done” lawyer.
