This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great great lawyer.

Just saw Dennis pop up and need to comment. As someone who does divorces and who has had Dennis as an opposing counsel, i I’d hire him in a second though hope I’d never need to. Dennis is a superb attorney. Great guy. Smart guy. A good guy.

The best!

When I was blind sided with infidelity and a divorce, I frantically looked for an attorney. I had many emails out to different lawyers. Dennis responded to me that night at 9pm. I was able to meet with him the following week. I met with two other attorneys but felt Dennis was the best. He surpassed m...y expectations and I had a smooth divorce.

Exceptional Counsel

Dennis has represented me on several engagements over the years in Family Law matters and his professionalism, competence, effectiveness, and responsiveness have been foundation for successfully and confidently navigating those legal waters in every case!

THE BEST

Simply put, Dennis is the best. If you are looking for an attorney, look no further. It was the best decision I made. He was honest with me throughout, responsive at all times and always prepared. I could not have asked for a better attorney then Dennis. He is the BEST!

A trusted source

I've relied on Dennis several times in the last 15 years, not only for personal legal assistance but also as a reliable source for close friends and relatives. In my opinion the greatest compliment that you can give another is a referral and I will continue to do that. Dennis Horvath is a cut above t...he rest!!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I fully endorse Mr. Horvath. My name is Dennis A. Rathburn, Esq., I have been an attorney since 1991 and my firm is Rathburn & Associates (www.RathburnAssociates.com). I have crossed paths with Mr. Horvath many times at the courthouse. The longest domestic case I had took about two and one-half years to close and Mr. Horvath was opposing counsel. The parties were both PH'd educated people with a large marital estate that included, real estate, accounts, pension plans that required QDRO's and personal property all needed divided. The parties also had minor children and the court appointed a Guardian ad Litem to resolve the minor child issues. There were many complex legal issues to address. Another challenging item was the parties were of Greek descent which made them hard to understand at times. Mr. Horvath presented himself with a high degree of skill. He was very professional and practiced with dignity and respect for all involved. I highly recommend & endorse Mr. Horvath."

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.
