About

I decided I wanted to be an attorney when I was 10 years old. I read a book about two Italian immigrants put to death in the early 1920's for a crime they didn't commit and my 10 year old brain said "I want to make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else."  Unfortunately, as I grew older, I discovered that it happens far too often. The discovery did not put a damper on my love for the law nor my determination to represent those who need help...sometimes the innocent and, yes, sometimes the guilty.When I expanded my practice to include family law, that calling to help those in need grew stronger. I wanted to help the most innocent of all...the children. So, in my family practice, my priority is focused on the children of these broken families while I try to reconcile the law to the situation at hand and help the divorcing parent maintain dignity through such a difficult time. I like to believe that I can help divorcing parents realize that, as much as they are hurting, the children hurt more and carry those scars longer.This is just a short synopsis of my philosophy on practicing. I still maintain that love of the law that I held as an innocent 10 year old even if reality is quite different.

It was a long road, but without her the jail time would have been way longer. Felony court is not a place you want to go to unprepared, especially if the state feels they have a strong enough case. Roxanne really does her homework and she will learn the case backwards and forwards. She is a very down to earth person but she's still professional when needed. I know we all wish return phone calls were quicker, but all lawyers are busy. She really handled my case well, and if I'm ever in the same position I would hire her again. I liked how she explained what everything meant, the charges, the options, best or worst of everything; witnesses, statements, depos, evidence, etc. She also has experience around all the local and some of the distant lawyer so she can navigate some as to what to expect from them if up against them in court. That is a huge plus. It was a very long case and I wished it away everyday for more than a year at least. Now that it's over looking back, I did the best by hiring her, I have my life back mostly and I'm extremely grateful for it. There were so many depos and statements to go over, page by page, sentence by sentence, making timelines, verifying each printed word, listening to recordings, asking for evidence from the SA can be challenging, especially if the case should have been handled by a different agency altogether. So many paperwork errors! As an example,seeing a date over a year BEFORE the incident date occurred. Roxanne honed in on all of it, I liked that, proving more and more of the injustice. If you can get a hold of your paperwork, double check everything! You won't be sorry. In the end, I really felt she did all that she could in my best interest, obviously dropped would have been better, but there is no such thing anymore as an accident. Oh, it took me awhile to figure out why the process involves so much and costs so much, its like planning a wedding... You have all the preparations to do and pay for and the waiting until the day arrives, but... either the bride or the groom WILL change their mind.. you still needed everything for the wedding whether it happens or not, just like hiring expert witnesses and things like crash experts, reconstructionists, High tech blood lab experts, mapping experts, Coast guard personnel , rule book interpreters, etc. These are all necessary for the case to go to trial, whether it goes or not, you still need them there and ready for the big day. Roxanne handled it all and she explained the purpose and lines of questioning for each. You will feel at ease with her, whether because of her professionalism or her down to earth personality. I'm not the best writer, but I think you get what I'm saying. She's good at her job and she cares about you as well, and I felt it. I was so nervous on the last pre-trial conference day, but she got me through it.

Roxanne listens, understands and has experience. She never gave me false hope. She let me know up front what to expect and has been there for me. I can call her when I have questions, she is there with answers and genuinely cares.

Roxanne Dean was there from the beginning till the end of my divorce settlement. I was satisfied with the outcome. During that time her guidance and advice proven to be effective. She walked me through the process and was very understanding of my situation.

Roxanne Dean is a caring, and compassionate individual. She speaks the truth, upholds the law, and takes each clients case to heart. I would recommend Roxanne over any other Citrus County attorney, based on her track record helping my family. Our experiences have been only positive with Roxanne, to bad there aren't more lawyers and people in general with her compassion, honesty, dedication and integrity.

Roxanne has been my lawyer for 11 years. It took 8 years on a personal case for me. Through this time, she was extremely helpful. Explaining the process and reassuring me that all things were working and to continue on my path. My case was difficult and we didn't always get the answer we wanted, and we had to take our time. And thankfully, through her guidance the end result was amazing. I'm thankful for her compassion and understanding. She is not only my lawyer but has become a great friend. If you'd like to have your case done correctly and thoroughly she is definitely an amazing lawyer! Can't thank her enough!

Roxanne has a heart of gold. I never once felt like my case was not important to her. Any time I called no matter how many questions I had she always answered them without making me feel like I was a bother to her. She worked magic on my case and worked so hard on getting me what I wanted. If you want a lawyer that's going to actual care for you and work her butt off for you, Roxanne is your woman. If I ever need a lawyer again I will be returning to her, and if any friends/family need a lawyer I will be recommending them to her.
