Excellent Auto Injury Attorney!

Dena and her assistant Teresa were excellent in helping our daughter get coverage from an auto accident that left her hospitalized for several days. They are flexible and diligent in getting your needs met. Can't recommend enough! Highly, highly recommend!!!

Excellent Representation

Dena Sisk-Foman represented me after a very serious automobile accident. As this accident occurred during working hours, there were several individuals involved. Dena handled all aspects of the case with professionalism and worked diligently to a swift resolution. I cannot say enough good thin...gs about the way I was treated throughout this experience. Dena and her staff genuinely care about their clients and I was never made to feel like I was interrupting them. Dena took the time to explain all aspects of my case thoroughly. I would highly recommend Dena Sisk-Foman.

Professionally Awesome

Contacted Dena for a legal issue. She contacted me right back she provided the tools that I needed to do to take care of the issue. She was very thorough and concerned. I highly recommend Dena.

Just awsome

I cannot say enough about the work Dina, Teresa, and their firm did for my family, during a stressful time. Dina handled every aspect of the situation ranging from phone calls about medical bills to the adjuster from the car insurance company. If I received a phone call regarding the accident, I woul...d refer them to her or the office and never heard from them again. That alone meant so much to me, because I was able to focus on getting my family back healthy. I had a negative perception of attorneys due to my past experiences. The only interaction with them was through phone calls from their receptionist or paralegals; until I met Dina. She made herself readily available. If I had a question, she never hesitated to answer, even if she was busy. She was genuinely concerned about our recovery and not how much money we could get. That speaks volumes about her character.

Determined and successful

Dena has worked diligently on our case and she has been amazing though out the whole process. The case was just finalized and we are very happy with the outcome. I will recommend Dena to everyone.

Avvo Rating

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.
