Hands Down the BEST

I was referred to Denis after having two horrible experiences from other local lawyers. Denis was my saving grace. He didn't drag anything out and was straight to the point. He is compassionate and actually has a heart. And to top it off, he is understanding and not out to bleed clients dry. Forever ...thankful for him and will always be highly recommended by me!!!!

Former client

Deceived us into plead “no contest”which as we found out later was an admission of guilt that led to 15 years of legal turmoil

Save your time and money!!! TERRIBLE and ARROGANT!

Unorganized! Missed court twice. Then called shocked and asked did I know about it. Lost files which he still hasn’t found, failed to communicate with myself and other attorney and was completely unprepared with facts of case, didn’t send interrogatories or give other attorney the evidence we planned... to use so it couldn’t be used in court. Made false promises about outcome and vacation dates, didn’t return calls, didn’t even read other attorney’s evidence so had no idea what questions to ask or when false documents were presented or when false accusations were made. Please trust me and look elsewhere. I honestly think dimentia has set in because he forgot the few things he actually let me get in when we did communicate. Arrogant and makes up charges for things he never presented. I thought lawyers were supposed to intimidate the other party, not their own clients! I’m trying to give you honest advice because my case is over so I hope this saves someone else from the heartbreak and disappointment his representation or lack thereof caused me.

My Own Personal Dragon

Denis Englisby is the dragon that stays in the castle moat and does not let my ex get through.......on any of the cases my ex files against me. I feed this dragon money on a payment plan. Highly recommend.

Divorce & Custody

Hired Denis for my divorce & custody case and he didn't do much of anything. We went to court he allowed my ex to sit on the stand and make me look terrible, attitude and arrogant anytime I met with or spoke with him. He drafted our divorce decree and that was about it, took about 2 years which resul...ted in my ex and I working together to finally come up with what we wanted. Still don't have anything legally in paper regarding custody. When I told him the agreement that my ex and I came up with for custody 50/50, he said just to write it down and both of us sign it (my ex and myself), never did anything through the courts for it, and that was the last we dealt with each other.
