Ardent Advocate

The law is a complex language system that requires a guide. The quality of your experience and ultimately your outcome depends on who leads you through the process. Laktoa Denton has a firm grasp of the law and a realistic perspective that is necessary and refreshing. My family was represented by ...Lakota on a personal family matter. He was able to help us articulate our position more clearly, and helped me see the perspective of the other side. This was instrumental in deciding how to move forward and in preparation for potential outcomes. What I feel people should know about him, is that he will listen, he will explain the law in plain English, and he will develop a strategy for success that you can understand and are comfortable pursuing. He does not paint the world different than it is and he will not judge you for perspective. Lakota's presentation of the potential outcome was on point. I consider Lakota an advocate who uses the law to help and am grateful to have worked with him.

Excellent Attorney for Auto Accident Representation

Lakota managed legal affairs related to a no-fault auto accident I suffered in 2016. Having had a history of post-concussion syndrome, I took quite the beating from this accident. Lakota and his team were able to settle the best amount they could, and took excellent care to make sure all of my medica...l bills were taken care of.

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!

Attorney Denton review

I chose Minick Law to represent me in my car accident case. Attorney Denton gave me clear advice from the start (who to expect calls from, and who to talk to and not talk to). He answered my questions and handled communications with my insurance company, the other driver's insurance company, and that... helped me to concentrate on healing without worrying if details were being covered. He even managed to get one of the Health Professionals to lower his bill before we paid it. Very professional, responsive service. I am very satisfied with my experience and my settlement.

Our minds are now at ease now that we have some answers and direction.

Review of Attorney Lakota Denton from Minick Law. (www.minicklaw.com) Attorney Denton was kind enough to give us a single consultation for guidance and to discuss our obligations and rights related to an automobile accident, a five vehicle accident for which vehicle #1 was charged by troopers. ... We both have injuries that are just beginning to heal and we were unsure about whether we needed to be represented by an attorney at all and if so would the attorney need to practice in the state in which the accident occurred. Attorney Denton advised us in a very methodical manner on just what we needed to do. Our minds are much at ease now that we have some answers and direction, some of which we would never have thought about on our own. We would certainly return to Minick Law for any legal problems we might have in the future. We went to this law firm initially because of an acquaintance with James Minick’s parents but would go there again because of the very positive experience with attorney Denton.

  • 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.
