Lawyer of Choice

I can’t say enough about how wonderfully Mr. Denison handled my case. The outcome was far better than I could ever hope for. He was very in tune with my wishes, and stayed in close contact during the entire process. I highly recommend him!

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Denison represented me on a case and couldn't have been more helpful. His office staff were professional anytime I needed to call with questions about my case. He responded to emails in a reasonable time frame. He was always straightforward about how things needed to be handled. Mr. Denison was a...lways professional and gave me wonderful advice with moving forward after my case was taken care of. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing the type of representation that his scope of practice covers. I was well pleased with him as an attorney and with the outcome of my case.

Gladiator in Court

Ive been Policing the City of Louisville for 26 years . Ive had criminal case's where Tim was the Attorney for the defense.The (wrong doe'r) on many of my cases during that 26 years. When Police Officers go to court they tend to size up the Attorney, just as the Attorneys tend to size up the Officers... so that we pretty well know what we expect from each other in future court case's. Tim Denison always did his very best to defend his Clients. The Officers knew they had a battle on their hands in court if Tim was the Defense Attorney. Tim im sure angered alot of Police Officers because he either beat them in court or had the original charges ammended to lesser charges for his clients. On the other hand because of his honest and in your face attitude those same Officers and others have come to respect him as a professional. Many officers respect his warrior mentality so much that they hire him when they themselves need a attorney. As an Officer, my wife and i were one of those clients that needed Tim as our Attorney in a cival case. Just as i knew he would . He put on his war face and went to battle and Won our case costing the other party a large sum of money. I would and do recommend Tim Denison to anyone who ask for the name of a good Attorney including my brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement. THANKS AGAIN TIM.

  • 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.
