ZERO STARS

Horrible! This guys wears a mask all the time and you can still smell his gum disease. Doesn’t respond to emails until it’s 2 am. Has immature comments to say to the other party and their lawyer without ever addressing your concerns. Family court is not his thing. Might be good at collecting dirt an...d speaking in renascence lingo but not a family lawyer at all. Had him as a hire and a court appointed I could not get rid of until I hired new. He is always late to court, never does a pre trial discussion. His office looks worse than my first college apartment! RUN from this “man” as fast as you can!

Posted by Larry | February 02, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Honest, Effective and Transparent communicator

Dennis handled a particularly difficult eviction for me that spanned the entire Covid timeline. He stayed abreast of the everchanging rules imposed by Albany and kept me informed regarding the options available at every step of the process. He provided sound, calming council in very tenuous situa...tion.

Posted by Edward | May 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Family

Exceptional, compassionate, integrity

Over the years, Dennis is the only person who handled my cases in family court, even when the outcome was unfavorable, it was not through lack of effort. I highly recommend Dennis

Dedicated Attorney

I hired Mr. Laughlin to assist me with an eviction where I am the landlord. He handled all the proper paperwork with the tenants and the court. He was able to very calmly negotiate a fair agreement with an irrational and irritate individual. He frequently checked in with me to make sure I was sati...sfied with the negotiations and court proceedings. It was obvious to me he is a very dedicated and compassionate attorney.
