Great Attorney

I recently used Mr. Denton to defend me in a dog bite (actually it was a nip) case. I was being sued for $25,000 by a gentleman that I was interviewing for a job. I have shelties that are able to be with me at the office, and I asked him if he was bothered by dogs. If so, I would put them in anoth...er room. He said no and the interview was conducted with both dogs under my desk. When he was in another part of the office for the second part of the interview, I politely ask him to knock on the door and I would open it; otherwise, they would herd him into a corner or circle. Of course he did not listen and one of them nipped him. Well the nip turned in to a $25,000 legal case, after offering to take him to a outpatient clinic, cleaning the little scratch on his leg, putting a bandaid on it, and offering all the dog's records. I ended up in Mr. Denton's office on a friend's recommendation. As soon as I talked with him, I knew I picked the right person. As a business owner, he understood exactly what was taking place. And after 1.5 years, the case was finally heard in court, and we won. He was thorough, patient, and unraveled the case before the judge and the plaintiff. I highly recommend him if you need an attorney.

Great experience

Mr. Denton is a highly professional and knowledgeable attorney. Mr. Denton helped me with a defamation case and was extremely thorough in understanding the details of my case in order to best represent me. I would highly recommend him for potential clients and would work with him again.

He Had My Back!

I contacted Jeremiah Denton at the recommendation of our Corporate Council. I explained that our family owned business was the subject of an extortion attempt by an unhappy customer who threatened to ruin us through social media, the BBB and news media if we didn’t agree to refund all the fees we wer...e paid by them...for work that we completed. We felt that we were being blackmailed and were concerned that they would follow through with their threats and damage our hard earned reputation. Into the breach stepped Jeremiah Denton! He pointed out that under Virginia Law, if a person threatens to injure another person or business with harm, they can be charged with a felony..even if they don’t follow through and act on their threats. He wrote the client a strongly worded letter threatening legal action if they didn’t stop, and they did! I highly recommend Jeremiah Denton IV as an Attorney who will have your back!

My owen attorney refered me to Jake!

As the area of law Jake Denton practices in is so specialized, my own family attorney sent me to him. Best in class service, Kem and Jake were kind and caring during an emotional time in our lives. Jake got us the result we needed with minimal cost and time. Wonderful firm and attorney.
