      Review Timothy Denison

      Felony case-DISMISSED!

      Posted by

      10/10 is not enough of a rating to give this man! Tim is hands down the BEST criminal defense lawyer in the state. He tells you like it is, what his plan is and he goes for it. Every time I talked with him it felt like I was talking to an old friend. He is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom! I don’t know many lawyers who can get a felony charge completely dismissed but I know he did. He’s honest and unlike a lot of lawyers he won’t beat around the bush. If he tells you he is going to do something, consider it done and think no more of it. He truly cares about his clients!!! He is more than fair with his prices and the quality of service you get is priceless!

      Custody Case

      Posted by

      I want to start by thanking Tim Dennison for all he’s done and the hard work and time he spent with my case. Tim is a very easy man to talk to and will “tell you how it is.” I had a difficult time gaining custody of my dog when a relationship ended. That is when I sought legal advice and help from Tim. This man is a huge advocate and dog lover, so I knew he would be the best guy to take on my case. He was accommodating and persistent. He communicated well with the judge, opposing counsel, and myself. He took the time to explain to me what to prepare for and gave me straightforward advice that allowed me to see the real picture. I admire that when it comes to getting back my loved one (my pup)! All in all, Tim Dennison is a very smart man that will get the job done and will fight for what’s right. In my eyes, Tim Dennison is Louisville’s “real” heavy hitter. Thanks Tim!

As plaintiff in the case, I can report that he was very patient, professional, and effective in bringing the case to a settlement in my favor. I can sincerely recommend Mr. Timothy Denison, Attorney at Law
