Great lawyer

Mr. Sensing did a wonderful job with my case. He got my case dismissed with all charges dropped, Thank God. He was understanding and when I had any questions he was ready and willing to answer them. Thank you Mr Sensing for doing a great job and helping me at a time that I was falling apart.

Modification of Parenting Plan

I hired Mr Sensing to help in getting my current parenting plan modified. I had gone through another lawyer in the Clarksville area and they did not do their due diligence. Mr Sensing and his team were very responsive to any questions and concerns I had and seemed very knowledgeable. I wish I had gon...e through his office originally when I got my divorce. It would have saved me money by getting a quality parenting plan that actually worked for my family the first time. Unlike other lawyers I was able to get ahold of him very easily. Lastly, Mr Sensing is very experienced. He was able to get better results for me than I thought was even possible.

The absolute best

In dealing with an especially vindictive divorce case, Mr. Sensing went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only was my ex unreasonable and difficult, but I had moved out of state to remove my children from my ex's influence, so every appearance and meeting necessitated a plane ticket and all the ...attendant hassle of travel. He worked with me every step of the way, responded to my emails at unreasonable hours without comment, and never once failed to inform me of what I needed to know as soon as he knew it himself. During a turbulent time of my life, his patience and thorough understanding of the law steadied me when I felt overwhelmed, and I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone who needs a professional in their corner. Both he and his office staff are exemplars of their professions, and if all legal professionals performed their tasks with the diligence I was shown, lawyers as a profession would have a much better reputation in the world today. I cannot say enough good things about this individual and the caliber of his work.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Sensing was my attorney for both my divorce and my custody case(relocation). He communicated well with me throughout the entire process and explained how things would work. He did his homework and came to trial extremely well prepared in order to get the results we came for. I would not hesitate... to hire him again in the future or recommend people to him. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable.

knowledgeable and professional

I hired Mr. Sensing in a contested divorce. I was afraid to lose my son and my job. He was very professional. He explained to me the severity of my case. He was dedicated and focused on the case. He explained the long and painful process. Now, I am a happy father who is able to be in his kid’s life.... Don’t give up hope.

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.
