Hired Attorney

My initial divorce proceedings took 18 months outside of California. And the subsequent matters of transfer of judgement and repeated attempts to resolve matters from the original divorce took an additional 12 years. With my first attorney in California nearing retirement, he personally recommended Dean Christopherson to take over my case. It still took over a year, but with a brilliant strategy and with diligence this case finally closed after 12.5 years. Working with Dean, I always felt reassured that he was fighting for me, he was always available to discuss the case, and he worked tirelessly to close all the loopholes being utilized by the other party. I am incredibly grateful that he was literally by my side. We won the case and were able to recover both the original payments and 100% of the accrued interest. His office was always thorough, punctual, and kind. As you can glean from above, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dean Christopherson.

I have been working with Dean for over 17 years. He has represented my company on countless collection litigation matters with great success. Dean is not only extremely knowledgeable, but is also an excellent communicator. He is always honest and straight forward with his opinions and assessments, and conveys updates and developments in a timely manner. Dean has an extremely pleasant demeanor, and conducts himself with the utmost professionalism at all times. I would highly recommend Dean!

I have been working in a financial institution in the San Francisco Bay area in a capacity where I hired counsel to represent the bank. Dean is my first choice when it comes to retaining a bay area attorney for civil litigation. Dean is honest and straight forward, very detailed, and always reachable. I highly recommend Dean.
