Very knowledgeable, business like, astute, shrewd but sometimes leans towards false information. This is a mental health issue for people having to pay for their innocence. Dean has a remarkable stature. Knew him in crowns. Enemies, allies and foe - ask the family of jim s my cousin. Chancery lane I love.

Mr. Paquette was a beacon of hope for me at a time my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory result seemed near impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from unjust charges, but was able to clear up my matter in a short few weeks by having all charges withdrawn. Mr. Paquette went above and beyond to provide me with a final outcome that was far superior to my expectation. His punctuality, diligence, professionalism, efficiency as well as his staff (Tammy) can not be competed with. I will eternally be grateful for his service and would recommend him with zero hesitation

5 stars & 3 diamonds!
I liked Mr. Paquette "modus operandi" instantly : analytical approach, finding solutions and focusing on more realistic ones. Ones "strategy" defined... I found, in spite of stress with events (charges), a piece of mind relaying on competent support and service.
At a court, generally, process evolved as expected.
Post court time, support and guidance was provided in timing, follow up information.... etc
I am thankful to Mr. Paquette and his team (office) indeed.

I want to say Mr. Paquette and his wonderful team are great people. They help you out big time. They get you the best results and generate results. Mr. Paquette himself spends time with you and takes your input very seriously. I recommend everyone to look into his credentials. He is one of the best lawyers in Ontario when it comes to Criminal Defence.
