Got Everything I wanted. Awesome Lawyer

A Truly Exceptional Attorney! From the very beginning, Mrs. Dennis came across as caring and genuinely invested in my case. I felt valued as a client, and she went above and beyond to ensure my concerns were heard. She truly listened to what I wanted and kept me focused on what mattered most, secu...ring shared custody of my twins. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I got everything I wanted—absolutely everything! This was my first experience needing an attorney, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. I could go on and on about how amazing she was, but I’ll just say this: If you need representation, don’t hesitate, hire her!

Amazing results

I was referred to Dennis & Dennis and I am so happy with the results Amy was able to achieve in my divorce. Amy is knowledgeable, adaptable and personable. Her staff was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. I am truly grateful to the entire team for their pro...fessionalism and strategic approach.

Amazing!

If you need someone who listens and cares about how you feel, Amy is who to hire. She was so understanding and always available to help. My case involved my parents property and she helped resolve the case without affecting them. She guided me through the whole process in an easy to understand manner... while being very professional. I am so grateful I had her by my side during this difficult time in my life!

Amy is amazing

Amy was instrumental in helping me settle a very complicated divorce case. Thanks to her, I was able to return to my home and get my life back together. She‘s a great person and truly cares about her clients. Many thanks also to her amazing staff including Lissett, her paralegal, who was always an em...ail or phone call away and kept me updated throughout every single step along the way.

Child custody lawyer | Feb 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Amy Dennis. Family law is an area of law where the term "counselor" is truly more applicable than "attorney". Clients are so emotionally involved that good attorneys must necessarily provide legal counsel in a caring an understanding manner. Ms. Dennis excels when it comes to gaining her client's trust. I have referred clients to her, and they have all been pleased."

"Amy is the ever-radiant, ready smile, and soft touch her clients need that permit her to advocate with velvet gloves that cover the stealy fist required in the domestic arena to firmly represent her clients' interests. The consummate professional, she brings to the table the experience and background needed for effective and results-oriented representation. I strongly recommend and endorse her for your domestic law needs."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
