Litigation Attorney | Feb 21
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Dena thinks quickly on her feet and remains calm under pressure. I am particularly impressed with her work ethic; when other attorneys leave their office, Dena keeps charging ahead."
Litigation Attorney | Dec 22
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Dena is a very competent litigation attorney. I was highly impressed with her tenacious representation over her client's defense in a hotly contested trial. I would also think twice about opposing her in another case. But she's the first I'd call to co-counsel with me."
