automobile accident

Lakota gave me some very useful advice over the phone about an auto accident I was involved in. Despite the fact my case is a losing one, he helped me out tremendously. He responded to my email promptly and he obviously cares about the wellbeing of others.

Review of Services - Lakota Denton

Mr. Denton was referred to me by a paralegal at a prestigious law firm as someone who has a reputation for competency and success in obtaining suitable awards for his clients. I retained Attorney Denton to recover medical costs and pursue damages from an “at fault” driver’s insurance company after a...n automobile collision. That insurance company was not accepting its liability and wouldn’t even return my calls. Attorney Denton’s services were outstanding and I was pleased and impressed with his respectful demeanor. He was thorough and proactive in explaining every aspect of the proceedings demonstrating an unusually wide range of process and interpersonal competencies. From my initial meeting with him to the final settlement, he was understanding, supportive and responded to all my questions and concerns without delay. He represented my interests with tenacity until an equitable settlement was attained. I would recommend Attorney Denton without reservation to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury case.

Caring and Responsive Lawyer

Mr. Denton helped me with my car accident case. I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered serious injuries. Mr. Denton walked me through the entire case and kept me informed every step of the way. The staff was also very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend calling Minick Law to anyone... who wants to be treated with respect while getting the quality legal advice you need!

Posted by Steven | February 13, 2015 | Workers Compensation

Highly skilled and caring Attorney, helped settle a complex Workers' Comp claim.

Less than a year ago I approached Lakota Denton for legal assistance with a difficult Workers' Compensation claim involving a complex occupational disease that I developed as a result of the labor I did and the work load I maintained for eight years at my former Job. My employer had refused to recogn...ize my illness as work related, so I proceeded by seeking legal council at Minick Law and I am truly thankful that I did. Lakotas' professionalism and intelligence, though remarkable, are hardly his best attributes. He is kind and personable which is rare in his field, but above all he is diligent and dedicated to protecting the rights of his clients whomever they may be. Though aspects of my case were tedious and often frustrating, he never ceased to be reassuring, calm and confident. The litigation that Lakota and his team built and brought forth to the opposing council allowed us to settle our claim without going to court for a sum my family and I were very satisfied with. I would recommend Lakota and Minick law to my closest friends and family members.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
