Disappointed

He handled my divorce.Beginning was somewhat okay mind you the case should of been way over by now as we were only married for a short time and do not share anything but the kids and it just keeps getting drug out by the other party and they keep requesting more things and trying to dig up more thing...s to try to get money and the fact that my ex has not been honest about so many things I believe has helped gain sympathy in getting what she wants.Had come to an agreement and thought things were signed but found out later on the other party did not sign.I just want it over with. I'm sure my case looks horrible to some people but not knowing the whole story it's very easy to form an opinion as I feel this is what this lawyer has done.Does not give me options as what he can do for me it's just give the other party what they want.Seems he has been more helpful to my soon to be ex than to me.Most lawyers are there for you whether right or wrong I did not get this from this lawyer.Had I been able to start over with another lawyer I would have of but that would have been costly.I did consult with another lawyer who seemed to have been more understandin gand helpful.I wish I would of listened in the beginning when a few people told me it didn't seem like this lawyer was being too helpful or doing all he can for me.I would not recommend this attorney.

Gets the job done

I used Dennis a few years back for a custody case. Not only was he responsive and helpful but after a long battle I was awarded full custody of my daughter. In the two-three year battle Dennis never once dropped the ball and was a bulldog in the courtroom. I would recommend Dennis 100 times over and ...will not hesitate to hire him again if need be.

Horrible communication

I've been using Dennis for 2 years to assist with a divorce and child support. I don't live in Florida so it is important for good communications. It takes multiple emails and phone calls to get a response from Dennis. When he does respond usually the information is not helpful. I've been trying to h...ave my child support modified for 6 months now and there has been no progress and no communication from Dennis. I feel that my money may have been spent better elsewhere.

Fast money

I was just a fast paycheck to him.. Didn't do a lot of things right. Doesn't response to calls or emails.. He made mistake in computing child support and to fix it he wants more money. Does not represent athe all good

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Wallace was instrumental in presenting my case in family court and it allowed my voiced concerns be heard. He provided a detailed rundown of the court process and gave me sound advice. I appreciated his hard work and dedication in my case. I would definitely rehire him and advocate that others re...tain Mr. Wallace as an attorney. He is a knowledgeable and intelligent. Also, his administrative staff was excellent in responding and helping me with court documents and questions I had as well.
