When I met Dean I had an 18yr old son with some serious gun charges and Dean was just starting his career.He was completely honest with us and worked so hard with his team to get us through the whole scary process of bail,court and eventually jail. I will be forever grateful for the tuff talk Dean gave my son.And later when he got in some minor trouble and Collette-Reade had grown so much I thought Dean wouldn't remember us or want to be bothered but not so. Dean got right on it and got his team in action. He also gave my son another tuff talk.Dean is a great mentor and role model to young men. I dont know how I got so lucky to have met Dean bit I know anyone would be lucky to do business with Colette-Reade.

There are so many wonderful words that come to mind when I think of the help that Jason Alsbergas gave to myself and my son. First and foremost he listened with compassion and understanding. Secondly he went above and beyond for the pursuit of justice and peace of mind. Thirdly he displayed professionalism and empathy effortlessly! My 16 year old was before the courts and I as his mother was frightened and concerned about what to do. The BEST thing I did was contact Collett & Read. From the very beginning the treatment was nothing short of exemplary! Jason Alsbergas called me on a weekend to reassure me of the steps that would take place. He listened kindly as I cried and never made me feel like less than worthy of consideration. I had to rely on Legal Aid but, Jason/Dean never made me feel as though our case wasn't just as important as any full paying client. I know often people read reviews and are skeptical; to those I say truly you can trust your legal concerns to this team! I will forever be grateful for the help we were given. Thank you so very much for all your help and support Jason / Dean and all the office staff too. Heather
