She's evasive ~ !

When I consulted with Denise, she didn't tell me she wasn't taking on new cases. She just told me that a 1-hour consultation would be $350. A few weeks after the consult, I decided to litigate. Denise told me at that time she's not taking on new cases. Now, I have to hire someone AGAIN and pay an...other 1-hour consultation fee! If she had told me she's not taking on new cases, I would have called someone else! Terrible for business ~ !!!

Opening and Closing an Estate

I contacted Denise for advice and guidance in handling my mom's estate following her death. Began the process myself but found it a bit overwhelming as I was trying to balance several other responsibilities at that time. From the beginning Denise took charge and clearly told me the specific informati...on I needed to supply. Denise lifted the burden from my shoulders, organized all the information I provided and filed all of the necessary paperwork. During that time Denise provided very clear information and advice as well as explanations at various stages. She was always accessible and answered e-mails and phone calls promptly. Denise has a warm and friendly personality that instantly makes you feel relaxed and secure. Her knowledge and ability are extraordinary. Contacting Denise was the best decision I could have made during a rather emotional time in my life.
